I'm a student applying for an internship. At the bottom of the extremely long application, there's a note that says that if an offer of employment is made to me, it is conditioned on a urinalysis for both legal and illegal drugs.

My interview is on Tuesday, and at the moment, I'm the only applicant for the position. They've expressed their excitement at "getting me started as soon as possible", even though I have yet to even interview. I've made a very good impression thus far. After Tuesday, I'll be going out of town until the 28th.

Where my boyfriend works, he also signed a similar statement, but has never been tested, not even upon hire. How common is that? What percentage of places that claim to require a drug test actually do?

What are the odds that they'll usher me straight to a testing facility right after my interview on Tuesday? Is that a common practice, or is it more usual to have an interview, and then be tested later on down the road?

I haven't had anything to smoke since Wednesday. Before then, I've been in a consistant habit of about a pipe full a day for several years (low-mid grade mostly recently). I am female, about 5'10", weight about 150... so, I'm lean, with a pretty good metabolism. I've also purchased a detoxifier to take tomorrow just in case containing Uva Ursi, Dandelion, Siberian Gensing, Echinacea angustifolia, Milk Thistle, Red Clover, and Hydrangea.

How worried do I really need to be? I've never been tested before, so I'm kinda' freaking out a little bit. Any insight into the above questions would be most helpful. Thanks so much.
