yea ive heard conflicting things about drinking water. ive heard that THC isnt water soluble (i know it isnt, thats why i make weed milk, not weed tea) and so drinking water doesnt do anything. and ive also heard that fat cells hold onto water for dry and hot days, but when you overload them with water, they empty it all out and take THC with them. i know that diuretics like cranberry juice, caffeine, and beer are supposed to help too. i shouldnt be tested until at least monday, which would be about three and a half or four days since i smoked, so that might be cutting it close. i also only had two hits, which isnt very much cause they werent that big. and yea, i eat like a horse too, especially when i get the munchies :D but i have a really fast metabolism and i never gain weight, its kind of weird

Thats fucking hillarious, although some people would disagree. fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

has anyone tried the vinegar trick? i've hear if you drink a bottle of vinegar the thc traces up and leave, other than that you gotta buy those super overpriced 4/20 drinks

Those "cleansers" that you buy in head shops have absolutely no scientific basis, don't buy them, they're an absolute waste of money and guarantee you absolutely nothing. Same with vinegar, does essentially nothing. The urine tests also don't test for THC, they're testing for other metabolites of the drug. Since you only took 2 hits and it was a few days ago, you may be fine, but for caution, what you can do is, don't give them your first urine of the day, that is true. Piss a couple times before then. The only other thing you can do is drink water before hand, and also take some kind of a diuretic (coffee, cranberry juice, a prescription drug), so you're expelling a lot of water as well, so as to dilute the metabolites in your urine. A trick I've heard is to take some Vitamin B-2 as well, this makes your urine more yellow colored, so as to trick the collector, because a lot of times they won't test urine that is too watery. However, if you get past that first stage, and then they call you back, hopefully you haven't smoked since then and you've had more time to clear the stuff out of your body. There's a certain threshold they're looking for, so anything that gets you under it, usually 25ng/mL, will do the trick. All in all, don't smoke when you have a urine test coming up, there's no fool proof way to assure yourself a negative test.

Some good info here on the NORML site.

I do agree with the aforementioned advice on not buying any test clean kits, they are all a hoax for the most part, however my college roommate passed a urine test at Quantico when he went to OCS for the Marines by using a test kit he bought at a head shop, go figure. HE diluted like crazy and I guess probably got lucky.

It must totally suck to have an employer control your personal life...

Is the test going to be observed...I'm a chemically dependence counselor(not a cop)Took me 25 yrs of research to become one...Anyway we test people all day long and the tests are observed.The lab that we send samples too DO test for THC levels...Some agencies that use the place where I work consider a dilute test as dirty...Beware of too much liquid...If your metabolism is fast and you only took two small hits chances are you will probably come up okay...If your a daily heavy smoker it can hang around for more than 30 days!!!Sometimes people use other peoples urine if the test is not observed.Sometimes they get over...Sometimes not.BTW this is the worst part of my job...I really consider it to be a violation...Good Luck

I have passed a number of piss tests after relatively recent (sometimes as short as 3 days) smoking. Here's a few tips I put into practice.

1. Your body type sounds like a plus, so thats good
2. Start drinking lots of fluids now. Not an uncomfortable amount, but keep hydrated.
3. Dilution. On the day of the test, drink absurd amounts of water. I'm talking a couple quarts within a half hour. In order to ensure that your piss still resembles piss and is not purely water, you need to take vitamins (multi, an extra B-complex would help) and creatine before the waterdown. This is where some of those drinks such as QCarbo can help. They wont clean you, but they will make the piss more believable even after you dilute real hard. Use your own ingredients if you got them, otherwise buy a drink. They're expensive but probation/jail is more expensive. Make sure you take a few good pisses between the waterdown at the test.
4. When you test, give piss from midstream. Beginning and end tend to be dirtier. Also, as someone mentioned before, first piss of the day is very dirty.

The reason dilution can be so effective is that a positive test is NOT a test that showns any trace of THC metabolite. There is always a cutoff point, usually around 200-300 nanograms/millilter. Let's say a light single use a few days ago may puts you at 600 ng/ml. If you dilute hard and cut your output to a fifth, you are well under the limit.

Good luck!

yea thanks. we'll see how my test goes tomorrow, and by the way, its not my employer controlling my personal life, its the government. im not that worried cause i seem to process marijuana pretty quickly through my body. and if i do show up a little dirty, they know i smoked about three weeks ago, so theoretically i could blame it on that if they're dumb enough to believe it. i do have b complex vitamins i could take and the dilution method sounds pretty good. thanks

ever tried drinking vinegar? give a shot some time. it's delicious! I tried it on a dare once, and nearly threw up after one mouthful. The smell alone will almost get you to puke! Good luck putting down a whole bottle. this method is definitely not recommended!!

I think anyone who tries this method is less likely to smoke again, since they wouldn't ever want to go through it again!

by the way, i passed my test last monday. i even had one hit of my friends perfectly rolled joint on friday night but i didnt seem to have any problem being clean by monday, thankfully

Pleased to hear you passed...but I question your behavior. A lot of time was spent here giving you tips and suggestions...It sounded like you were really stressed over your job--yet after all the posting going back and forth, two days before the test, you put yourself more at risk by smoking again I don't get it.

Its the Herbal life ,man ..
Gots to get high....

it musta been that peer pressure


lol i smell it, let me inhale it

congrats man, what method did yuo use

Q-tabs from GNC (now called something else, but just go to the counter & ask for Q-tabs, they keep them behind the counter in a cabinet). Directions are right on there. I smoked the night before a test which was at 9 am the next morning, passed fine. Only downfall is they're $50 a pack, so not sure you'd want to spend that much every week.
