For a guy worried about a piss test, was this really the brightest thing to do? That question was put very politely. You dont want to hear how I initially was going to phrase it.

haha actually i wasnt very stressed at all as i said before. i had a wise friend tell me once as he took a hit that id be surprised how hard it is to make marijuana show up. he was smoking a day or two before a pee test for a job and was able to only take three hits or so. he passed fine. im peeing for the government so that i dont go to jail, but seeing as im very skinny and i didnt smoke very much, i kinda knew i was going to pass. i only asked you guys to affirm i would be clean, which you guys slightly stressed me out after saying id be good in a week or two. but none the less, i have decided to take everyones advice and stay clean, so i havnt smoked since the aforementioned friday. i diluted a little bit before the test, i drank a bottle or two of water and took some vitamin b that i had but i didnt go overkill on the water.

That is the smartest thing I have heard on this thread so far. I am clean 21 years and I have no problem with people using so long as it doesnt affect their lives or the lives of the people around them negatively.

I am not a sober preacher in other words. In fact, I think that most drugs should be legal. That being said, staying clean to stay out of jail is very wise. And if you cant do it then there is a real problem, that needs to be addressed before something really bad happens. Even is you smoke and pass the tests, there can be that one time that you dont, besides who needs all the headache of stressing out about it?

Good luck to you fatcat and STAY OUT OF JAIL.

in the event that you do smoke again while they are testing look into Niacin, an over the counter vitamin/supplement.

about 1500mg (usually about 3 capsules) beofre bed will cleanse you right out, it gives you hot flashes, which can be uncomfortable, but works though your fat cells to clean out your system. all the kids i knew on the highschool football team used it successfully, but i too would promote the abstinence approach for the future.

There is one absolute way to guarantee a negative test. Don't tap the stuff at all. Maybe it's me, but I would never want to risk my Freedom just for a buzz. Down the road, that's the sort of shit that can haunt you at the wrong time.

give the guy a fucking break he knows what risks he takes. i know you all mean well but he really doesn't need to read "i wouldnt do that" 10 times

Boy this thread is helpful. My parents just put me on piss tests (quite hypocritical of them) and I'm glad to see the ideas.

I know the best way to past a test is not to smoke, but if for some reason I do, I'll now have a better idea of what to do.

Thanks!

preach on rev! the only way to learn these lessons is to live them.

just a quick side note . . . psychedelics are not tested for (the 5 most test for are amphetamines, coke, herb, pcp, and opiates)

It ain't my intention to be riding any High Horse but it sounds like the brother could still be in his early twenties and has a whole lot of livin' to do. I just know that from my experience of use and eventual abuse, I should have changed my Evil Ways way sooner than I did. When I was that age, if someone had said, yo, you need to chill, I would have told them where to park. The cool thing is that this is a forum and he posted his story and we're all free to share ours. I ain't judging the brother and it's all about free will. I've had doors open to me that never would have if I was still living the way I was living. Sure hate to see a door get locked before you can see what's on the other side. Meaning no disrespect Rev., but you're right, the dude knows all that.

All i can say, is that you got incredibly lucky and I can't believe you messed around with your freedom to just take a couple of hits. If you didn't realize you had a problem, maybe that fact will open your eyes. Marijuana stays in your body a long time man, longer then any other drug, up to 4 weeks. It's not gone in a day or two, like many other drugs. Sure, you got lucky, you passed your test, but that could have happened for any number of reasons (false negative, diluted urine, just the random chance that the weed didn't metabolize well, or you really didn't get much at all with those hits). I really hate seeing this kind of thing, because it really only gives affirmation to a pretty bad mindset. All i can say is, you got extremely lucky, especially considering jail time was in limbo. Sorry to sit on a high horse here, but after giving you very sound advice, which you didn't listen to at all, I felt like saying something.

Mr Charlie, no need to ride a High Horse, it's alot further to the ground when you get bucked off. I hear where you are coming from with concern for your fellow Man and I concur but you can only make suggestions, not give advice. The teacher shall appear when the Student is ready. Awareness is the key to Enlightenment. All should be seeking Conscious Competence. All inroads made in this life, pave the way to the next.

in regard to living and learning, i caught a felony posession case for 6 hits of acid...


I am fucked, even after getting my record expunged staying out of trouble and all that and more than 10 years later and i still cant get a job as a teacher (which is what i had been going to school to be) in califronia - or probably the rest of the country for that matter. Also absolutely no gov't jobs that require background checks, private sector will never know, but i really wanted to teach high school English

so yeah i won't tell you 11 times to refrain, its your choice, but there is something to say for the guy who learns form others fuck ups.

once you get tangled with the law keep your nose clean at least until they stop sweatin' you.

catching a felony is no joke...

wow i guess i sparked quite a controversy. for one, i smoked again last thursday, and again i took two hits. and i dont think im risking anything at all, especially my freedom because im well aware of how fast the marijuana will get out of my system. as for 4 weeks, your crazy man. marijuana stays for more like 48 hours depending on how much you smoke. and i know that hallucinagens do not show up in tests, which i find more enjoyable and would do more often if i could find a consistent plug that isnt too expensive.

I'm crazy? Marijuana stays in the body for 48 hours? Keep smoking man, actually next time, don't even hold back, its out of your system in 48 hours right? Just smoke right up to 2 days, as much as you want. Where do you get your info anyway? Let me guess, some buddy of yours who's stoned all the time, awesome dude. Don't call me crazy when my information is straight up scientific research and you're the one getting stoned and taking lsd and who knows what else. Drugs are cool man! I'm sure most of us on this board have taken plenty of drugs, but there's a point where either you respect them and you're smart about them, or you don't give a sh*t enough to realize what you're doing. If you want to continue thinking that marijuana only stays in your body for 48, go for it, but when you get busted one day and you're in jail, no one around here is going to have sympathy for you, at least not me.

That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried"

Mr. C., if you, your ownself has had an Epithany, you know that a bunch of dudes saying "you shouldn't be doing that" don't hold the sway of a bunch of dudes going, don't worry bro, it's all good. Let's have some compassion and maybe the brother will have his own Moment of Awakening.

Sorry dude, just having fun at your expense. Point is, our choices are always our own. Some are good, some not. I know I've done my share.
