I'm getting sick and tired of all of the cons that are seen on the drug testing scene. Drug testing is already a huge business on both ends. The other day when I went to the rehab meeting, the councelor informed me that I would have to go to a program for 10 weeks for drug education as part of their "action plan." This is going to cost me out of my pocket $50/week! That's $500! In addition they are wanting me to take drug testing out of pocket so they can see where my levels are and how soon I can return to work. This will prob run me 30-50 bucks a pop. Such a money scam

Anyway, against my better judgement and prior suggestions I think I'm going to try to substitute this Friday and see what happens. If I don't I'm looking at a month or longer (im 6'2" 220lbs and a daily toker) of no work until I get clean, so I think i'll try risking it. One of the nice things about nursing is that there really is a very high demand for work. There has been numerous RN's I know that are on their 4th offence and still working at the hospital! And these RN's were stealing narcs!

Intially I told the rehab place I smoked a week prior to my testing, but called back today to inform them that it was actually two days prior, hence for the high THC level. I just told them some bullshit story and think they bought it. If they get suspicious I will tell them that I have been hitting the gym everyday and drinking lots of water to get it out of my system. I'll be using the urinator, which I think is one of the better systems out there. Plus a friend of mine who I work with tested dirty (he smokes more than I do and is more overweitght, his levels have got to be higher than mine) at the same time so he's going to try to test clean this Friday as well. He's using a different system, some drink shit he thinks will work.

I'll post another update as the plot unfolds. I'm supposed to meet with the rehab folks next Thursday so I should have a better idea of what I'm dealing with.
