How screwed is my friend?

[Relapse]

My friend had a drug test thrust upon him unexpectedly, he is an occasional smoker but for four days before the test he smoked each day. He is extremely fit and runs everyday (except for the four days before the test he only ran once and sat in a sauna once). Like I said he sat in a sauna for a couple hours before the test and drank lots of water the day before and of, as well. Also the test was his third piss of the day. Will he fail like he expects or might he be ok?

i think he will fail. but let us know

Plan for the worst . . .

Plan for the worst . . .

I don't see any way he can pass this test. Fat people take longer to get rid of THC (the fat cells store it) and slender ones, but the quickest is usually 5-7 days (especially with several days of use).

The sauna would hurt him, because his urine will be more concentrated due to sweat loss.

Drinking beaucoup water has it's limits too, if the urine sample is too diluted it will be invalid and he will be asked to do it again (which would be good in this case).

Just FYI, I hope I'm wrong.

Nah, he'll most likely be fine, especially if he flushed ahead of the test. Both of the drug tests I've done recently all I did was flush with water the day before and of, and passed with flying colors.

And one of these was post harvest, when I was smoking mass quantities :wink:

The other test, I smoked the day before.

I saw a report not too long ago where a testing company stated that a heavy user would be able to pass a test within a week (with no flushing) due to the threshold increase of the test to avoid false positives or incidental positives.

I'm betting he'll pass just fine, let us know, okay?

 

[geetardude]

Depends what type of test. Sounds like he could only pass via dilution. Was his piss clear or yellow? Did they send it off to a lab? I doubt that he passed unless he drank hella fuckin' water and pissed clear.

 

[Relapse]

I'm not sure how much he drank, I knew that when I took my test my piss was clear but they didn't make me take another, sometimes businesses don't want to pay for another. Yea, I will let you guys know how it goes.

 

[NiteTiger]

To avoid the clear piss issue, I take some Liquid (Rapid Absorption) B Complex and some Emergen-C (C is one of the fastest absorbed vitamins) about two hours before the test.

I'm Golden.

Pun intended

Nice thats a really good idea.

i dont understand why u would use ur own piss if theres even a question of it being positive. i guess nobody can find anybody clean to piss for them.

 

[mapleboy]

Probably because 99% of the piss tests are done IMMEDIATELY and on site... hence no way to prep.. lessin you like to carry piss on you 24/7

Who said there was a question? I know I'll pass my way :wink:

Plus, who really wants to have that conversation with a buddy? I mean, it's one thing to borrow a saw or something, but piss??

i dont know about holding on to it 24/7, but if i need a job or get jammed up 99% of the time i know i have to give a urine before i enter a building that says lab on the side of it.
whats a little piss between friends? whats worse than having that conversation is actually spilling it on your hands. talk about a akward feeling.

What's the consensus??? HELLO!!!!! it does NOT take 5 days on a piss test.. NOR does it take a day... this a "real" post or are you "hypothetically" jerking our chains??

Mapleboy, some places DO send their specimens out for a lab to do. If that is the case, 5 days is not unreasonable. Most places, however, do use the immediate response tests, so I dunno. Or he just could have had stuff come up or a computer failure and hasn't been able to post. Be patient!- Granny

 

[Relapse]

Hah I too have been waiting for the results, so far he's been training at his work place and they haven't said anything. So were guessing no news is good news, but he's still apprehensive.

Although he's not about to go up and ask them if he passed is he.

"So I was curious if I passed that test, not like I was worried, but yea, did I pass?"

That'd be an interesting conversation, I actually showed him this thread and he laughed and told me he'd keep me informed just for you guys. I wasn't planning on leaving you guys hanging.

 

[NiteTiger]

No news is indeed good news in a situation like this.

 

[mapleboy]

MOST all use the immediate test.. ONLY way they send it out is IF there's a positive..independant lab does 2nd test to be sure..

all the drug tests i've taken for jobs have been at a lab, and its taken up to 2 weeks to get the results. now a days you can buy a home drug test from rite aid or cvs, they're like 15 bucks. i use them before each test and they seem to work, 15 bucks is a small price for piece of mind.

FYI in the past i've used the cranberry juice method, and its also worked. 1 gallon of "pure" cranberry juice, the more acidic the better.

or a cup of vinigar, i pour it over a chopped up head of lettuce, and eat it through out the day.

both have worked for me in the best, but its been 2 years since i took one so im not 100 percent sure if they still work.

Are the at home tests one time use things, I saw them in Wallgreens the other day and laughed.
