Help! Piss test coming up

[sweetpain]

I applied for a job months ago and really wanted it, but never heard from them. Then out of the blue, Saturday I get a call that they want me to come in for an interview. My daughter has worked for the company for years and told me if Iget the job, they will send me for a drug test.

Ok, here's the problem. I never smoke pot. I haven't smoked pot for over 20 years. However, Friday rolls around and I had just run out of my pain meds the day b4 (perc 10's) which I have a prescription for. My friend came over and could tell I was in alot of pain. She convinced me to take a tiny hit bcz she smokes it and it truly helps her chronic pain. I only took one hit.

Fast forward, I get a call to come in for an interview. I want this job so bad (great pay, benefits, etc.) but now I'm afraid Ive blown it it by smoking pot. I've heard it can show up - up to 30 days from the time you smoke it. Is there any way I can mask it or do something to get this "one hit" out of my system? When I call them on Monday, I'm going to try to put off my interview till end of next week cuz my daughter said they gave her 24 hours to take her test so maybe I can put off the test till end of next week-would this be enough?

I am currently prescribed the following meds: percocet 10mg, high bp meds, neurontin, and I'm taking penicillin for an absessed tooth. Woud any of these meds mask the pot? God, I think I've really blown it. And I truly don't smoke pot-ever, just that one time. What are the odds I take one little hit and then have to go for a drug test.

I' m desperate. Anyone know whether pot will show up on this upcoming test?

[More Feen]

Lots and lots of factors here.

For pot to be detected for the 30 day period:
1- One would probably have to have smoked pot daily for a good week, or more,
2- One would probably have to be slightly overweight (high body fat) for the THC & metabolites to elute over 30 days,

* I would suggest buying some of those (Expensive) home test kits (to test your kids, ostensibly) available at drug stores.

I would wait until the morning of your test, or the evening before, and give yourself this test. If it shows up positive--make any excuse you can to delay the official test. Repeat as needed until you pee clean.

You might lose the job prospect, but if you pop positive, you will lose it anyway.

Before taking either of the tests, drink a fair amount of water. Do not use the first or second urine of the day because things are more concentrated. Do not over-do the water, 'cause like that lady in California, you can kill yourself. 2-3 glasses should suffice.

Anything you can do to increase your metabolism will be helpful: Exercise, even eating more than normal will kick-up your metabolism (if you diet, or eat little, your body tends to lower its metabolism).

You can search the internet (I'm sure you already have) for other tips (that's where I got the info above as I took a pre-employment piss test recently, on Friday).

Good luck!

i personally would worry about it. if what you said was all true,
then i thinkin youll be fine.

If you smoked ONE hit on Friday and the test is Monday you should be fine. I know this from (my own) experience. That is assuming they even test you on Monday. From my experience, they interview you, decide if they want you, then test you at a later date. It's rare that you just walk in to meet them for the first time and next thing you know they are handing you a cup to pee in.
Just to be safe:
1) Buy a drug test from CVS and test yourself Monday morning
2) Get someone to pee for you (someone of your own gender, and if possible have them pee just before you drive in to keep warm)
3) If you fail the test that you bought for yourself then bring in other's pee
4) Start drinking water (2-3 liters a day, not much more than that because not having enough creatine, or something like that, in ur urine is considered altering the test
5) DONT use adulterants (ready-clean stuff from gas station, bleach, etc) testing for adulterants is a dirty drop

But chances are you will be fine. Good luck

Marijuana stayed in my system for 36 days exactly and I am by no means overweight. A couple things:

Since THC is stored in fat cells, excercising will speed up the metabolism of THC from your system. Keep in mind that this will cause you to test EVEN MORE POSITIVE immediately after starting to work out because you will be flushing THC in your urine, giving a + result. Exercise a good amount un until maybe three or four days before the test.

A urine test can come up negative, positive, or negative dilute. The latter doesn't necessarily mean a fail, it means that there wasn't enough urine to water in the sample for a result and you will have to repeat the test, buying more time.

Drinking water isn't enough. Eat plenty of meat the days prior to. The morning of the urine test, drink gatorade, take aspirin, and take plenty of vitamin B12. The salts from the gatorade, aspirin, and meat help alter the specific gravity of your urine to make it seem less diluted, while the Gatorade itself will dilute. The vitamin B12 keeps your urine a yellow color as too clear could be a fail on sight.

If you really only took one hit and you follow these steps you'll be absolutely fine. If you are REALLY worried you could always buy quickfix; synthetic urine complete with a heating pad on the bottle, guaranteed 100% to pass.

In this situation I'd probably just bring clean/synthetic urine. If it's a job test they probably won't watch you pee, you could ask your daughter this. Being on a low amount of percocet I don't think it would raise any red flags if you don't tell them the first test but then mention you have a script if they test you later (if they ever test you again). You could always say you started on PM between piss tests. Now if you were on oc 80s and didn't tell them but then told them later they may be suspicious you gave fake urine the first time. Don't do anything I say unless someone with more experience agrees though. I've taken 1 piss test and got away with it by being on kratom.

Like people have said, just make sure the piss is warm there are tons of threads saying different ways to do this.

One hit is not going to cause you to testy positive 3 days later. Don't worry about it.

Pot can show up for a while, but the thirty day thing is applied to chronic daily users. One hit for someone who never puffs is likely to show up for 1 day to 1 week max

Lots and lots of factors here.

1- One would probably have to have smoked pot daily for a good week, or more,
2- One would probably have to be slightly overweight (high body fat) for the THC & metabolites to elute over 30 days,

If you are a regular smoker, it can stay a while. I passed two tests as a chronic smoker after four to five days by using a method I will describe below. Because of this, I got cocky. On my third test some years later, I thought I would be good because it had been 21 days. So I did the test without taking my precautions and failed it. I am a fairly athletic person without too much pudge.

Good advice for the most part. Having someone else pee for you or using synthetic pee is hard because you have to have it at the perfect temperature....hard to do. I screwed up one test because I used stuff that was too warm. This resulted in my having to do a supervised test- stand there with pants at ankles and shirt pulled up with some dude staring right at winky....

If you use someone elses pee, bring a digital thermometer with you. make sure the pee is about 105 degrees in the parking lot. that way it is warm enough but you don't have to cool it down too much to get it to 96-98 degrees. make sure it is at this temp range if you try this method (which I don't recommend) or they will know you are up to something. Those little color strip temperature indicators on the sample cup are very effective.

The creatinine thing is important. I have never had a test come back bunk from diluting and I drink a galon or more of liquid on the mornings of my tests. But this is a way for them to see if you have been "water doping". I have read that eating red meat the night before will raise levels of creatinine.

I never had a problem with this using the "precautions" that I descibe below.

This is very much the method I use.

Drink some water the night before.
Wake up and drink three or four glasses of water. And a cup of coffee or two. Mainly, you got to get yourself peeing to where the pee is clear.
Eat a couple of B12 vitamins at least a couple of hours before the test. Then one or two more right an hour or so before the test- this will keep your pee colored.

Drink more water another couple of cups. You should be peeing like every ten or fifteen minutes.
On the way there I usually drink a cup or two of cranberry juice (a diuretic to help maintain large urine output) and then a 24oz Arizona iced tea (again, fluids and a little caffeine to help keep peeing) in addition to the water which I would still be sipping.

Eat a large beef steak the night before. Have more for breakfast too. This will help keep the creatinine (not creatine) levels up in your pee (or so I have been told) so that it doesn't come back as a tampered tample. Of course if it does come back tampered, the result is usually put down as inconclusive, not positive, and you have to retest. In your case this might buy you more time and if you don't smoke any more grass, it will definitely be out of your system by the time a retest takes place....

When you pee, don't catch the first part or last part of the stream. Start peeing, then put the cup into the flow. Then remove the cup before your flow dwindles. I am not sure if this truly helps, but I read that you are less likely to get a concentrated bit of pee by doing it this way....

This worked for me a few times and I was a serious potheead.

Even without taking precautions like this, one hit will be undetectable at the most a week away, probably less.

I passed a pee test four days after stopping smoking, and I was a serious everyday all day smoker at that time.

You should be fine!!

How'd the test go, sweetpain?
