How far back can a urine test pick up that you've done drugs?

 

[Suranga3]

Depends on the drug. For marijuana, a urine test can dectect that substance within the past 11 weeks.

11 weeks? Sonofabitch.

lots of Water an cranberry juice can help with that, right?

Nope.

That depends heavily on the circumstances. It could also be out of your system within 3 days if you don't smoke a lot. It varies a lot.

What you need to do is switch your urine with applejuice.

They can't fire you for eating too many apples....can they?

 

[Ecrofirt]

Once since November.

It was last weekend, and it was only enough to get me buzzed

[BobbyRobby]

11 weeks?! Wow, I think the standard is about a month though, for Marijuana.

I also heard there's something you can by at GNC that'll clear out your system. Not sure if the test will detect it though.

 

[Ecrofirt]

Hmm..

I've been reading on it, and it says an occasional smoker should be OK within 10 days or so. It'll be 14 days on Saturday, so I think I might be OK.

 

[Megafoo Chavez]

just say no

 

[Ecrofirt]

You're one to talk

 

[SlickWilly223]

I'm in the same problem as you, buddy.

I'm going to apply for a job, but I've smoked 3 bowls this week, so...

Guess I can take my friends piss with me, right?

 

[Joe]

the drink at gnc WILL help you pass the test but some tests detect for the chemicals in that drink so you might still fail. drinking a ton of water will help.

Guess I can take my friends piss with me, right?

they might have a doctor go in the bathroom with you so there's no funny business. but its worth a shot i guess.

 

[SlickWilly223]

O my. Well I'm only in highschool, so I don't think they'll be taking this shit too seriously with me. I just don't want to fail the test and have my family find out or something.

EDIT: I'm applying for a job at Brooks.

You're probably fine then. The detectable traces should be gone by this weekend, unless you have a slow metabolism, or the pot you smoked was very strong (even then, it's highly unlikely).

I think it would take me more than a month to pass a test.

Check this page out. It's giving me a lot of tips.

i don't think they are legally allowed to tell anyone if you fail, even if you are a minor, so thats not something to worry about.

 

[Joe]

well if he goes in for a drug test and ends up not getting the job...

Check out the vault on marijuana, it's full of information. I don't know how biased the site is, but it can't be as bad as the DEA or the NIDA sites.

So your metabolism affects how long it stays in your system? Does that mean exercising can rid traces of drugs in your system?

Not saying I've been taking any drugs (although I'd have no problems saying I have if I did), just curious.

 

[dog$]

Yeah, metabolism makes a difference.

Also I heard that for pot, it takes 30 days to be clean for a piss test and quite a bit longer for hair tests (I've heard up to two years for hair tests but that still doesn't seem quite right).

11 weeks for a piss test seems off.

I've heard stories of people taking a jog or something and getting high from THC stored in their fat burning up.

 

[Joe]

haha :lol if true thats awesome

 

[Ecrofirt]

THC is stored in fat, so you have to wait for that fat to break down before you're good to go.

 

[SlickWilly223]

well if he goes in for a drug test and ends up not getting the job...

Exactly.

Stupid shit like this gets me nervous. Maybe I should find a job that doesn't require a drug test at all... especially since I just might end up rolling another one soon.

 

[Ecrofirt]

maybe you should stop smoking weed.

I made a bad decision last weekend. I'm trying to make up for it.

You just want to keep on smoking.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

you can get drug tested at job interviews?

FUCK THAT

 

[Megafoo Chavez]

if you want to pass your piss test, drink about 3 gallons of water and and a jug of cranberry juice. then take a few flinston chewable vitamins and relax. you will pass. specially if you have about 2-3 days

 

[White Man]

they might have a doctor go in the bathroom with you so there's no funny business. but its worth a shot i guess.

Some people get 'performance anxiety' when they're put on the spot in a room with another person observing them. They usually just check the temperature of the urine.

 

[Ecrofirt]

you've got to make sure to keep your specific gravity up, so it doesn't look like you purposely tried to dilute it.

The recommendation that I read is wither to drink a quart of gatorage with a teaspoon of salt in it, or to put twice the gatorade powder in that it recommends.

 

[SlickWilly223]

No way am I putting the good stuff down. It's the only thing I have to immidietly look forward to after school 8 horrible hours of school.

Then I do homework, go to the gym, and come home and fuck around on the computer or with friends.

It's the good life (Except for those 8 hours of school).

Of course, if the people I smoke with weren't as fun as they are, I probably wouldn't smoke as much as I do. But we're all real close and have a damn good time, so I don't see myself stopping anytime soon.

 

[rs7k]

I've heard stories of people taking a jog or something and getting high from THC stored in their fat burning up.

Not true. From what I've read, the active THC gets metabolized by the liver on its first or second pass, and then the metabolites get stored in fat. The metabolites don't do anything apart from making your drug test positive. Maybe there's some un-metabolized THC that gets stored in fat before it reaches the liver, but then again it wouldn't be a significant enough amount to have any psychoactive effects. I'm no scientist, but that's how I see it. I've never gotten high off exercising, and I've smoked a lot of dope in the past. I've slowed way down now, and I feel quite a bit sharper.

Ecrofirt, you should be fine. You can try drinking a lot of water, along with some Vitamin B6 (or is it B12?) to make sure the urine looks yellow. Some labs will reject a sample and request another one if it looks too diluted. And do not use your first piss of the day as your sample, it will be full of metabolites excreted by your kidneys while you were sleeping. Cheers.

 

[Ecrofirt]

ugh, I just tried some of that gatorade mix with the salt, and now I've got a headache.

Bleh.

 

[Brannon]

I heard something from my pottie friends about sizeable quantities of niacin to burn it off, but I don't do drugs, and my friends were high, so it could all be bullshit.
