nanograms per microliter: UA metabolite question
So to begin, I am a pretty heavy smoker. I rarely take breaks. I exercise pretty regularly and have a slim to average build. That being said, I have a drug test today for pre-employment and haven't smoked since I found out about the test (11-12 days). Fairly certain that it will only be a UA for insurance purposes.
For piece of mind I found a seperate lab that offered non-enterprise drug testing (to the public) and paid the 33$ for their non-DOT 5 panel. I chose not to do any diluting as a control, just to see how far along I am. The result came back as I thought they might and I failed the THC component at 104 ng/ml they also performed the confirmation with the GC/SM test or whatever they ion test is called. The first test cutoff was 50 ng/ml then by failing that I assume they send it for the other for confirmation in which the cutoff is 15 ng/ml.
All pretty basic stuff so far. I took that test Tuesday, and today is Friday: Test day! I sure did study hard for this one ;p I intend to dilute and have rolaids and asprin floating just behind my teeth with all the water/gatoraid I have been drinking. Also been loading on Creatin/b vitamins for the last few days. I feel comfortable with the dilution method, since a negative - dilute result only buys me more time. The flip side of that is it works and I won't need a retest. Incidentally on the test I took, the integrity sample section listed ph, creatin, and nitrite. All passed, however again I wasn't diluting at that point.
My question is, is it safe to assume that at a reasonable rate with an average metabolism that I would be somewhat close to the first test's cutoff? I base this possibility on the fact that a non-habitual smoker will process the thc in as few as 3-5 days and during those days after smoking they would come in above the 50 ng/ml cutoff. So I guess the real question is, what is a roughly average rate of dissipation? 5-10 ng/ml a day or so is what I'm guessing but any more info would ease my mind. I understand that I will still need to dilute but the closer to the cutoff I get, the better and the less neccessary dilution becomes.
