A reprieve on my drug screen. There is still hope!
After 3 interviews and 3 rounds of testing I was told to came back and do part #1 of the medical exam for my prospective, $23.00 an hour shipyard job. I smoke weed, but have been abstaining for a week, and using herbal flushes. Before heading down there this morning, I took my little herbal pills and drank all the water I was told to do. Using a home test kit it showed "positive", meaning I'm dirty. Shit! So what the hell. I went down anyway hoping for a miracle.
Little did I know was that part #1 was merely to fill out 12 forms and schedule my physical/drug screen. I have till Tuesday to clean out my system. Its a long shot but I have to give it a chance.

Wish me luck!:scared:

9. I've given it up. At least till I get the job and establish myself.
And if feel a need to smoke...I'll have too weigh things out.
Its a damn shame that people cant enjoy the fruits of a god-given plant that is virtually harmless.

10. For me? Usually a week. Tuesday will be 2 weeks.
Plus I have a 5-day total cleanse kit that covers blood & urine.
What a pain in the ass!

6. Before you take the test, drink tons and tons of water that morning.
Edited on Thu Jan-12-06 05:40 PM by GumboYaYa
also take a multivitamin. The water will dilute the THC content of the piss. The vitamin will give it color and mineral content so it is not so diluted and colorless to raise suspicions. Cranberry juice is good to add to the mix as well. Drinking the water days before will do you no good, but it will make you real uncfortable those days. Just drink tons of it the morning of the test.

Also, exercise up until Saturday is good to get THC out of the fat cells. Do not exercise two days before the test as it may cause the THC to leave the fat but still be in your system.

Also, never ever use the first sample of the day for your test. THC builds up overnight an dthe morning piss is the one with the most of it in there.

Good luck. I hate drug tests.

7. Jeez, bummer on the drug test scene. You have my sympathy.
Sorry for the bad news, but I've heard it takes 30 DAYS for THC to completely leave your system. Of course, I could be wrong....it wouldn't be the first time.... :eyes:

maybe it depends on how much you typically smoke.

In any case, good luck, maveric!! I'll hold good thoughts for you.

:hi:
