Opinion: Best way to ween myself of the herb???

[trumie04]

I have to take a break from smoking so I can pass a pre-employment drug screening. I'm gonna give myself at least a month to clean out, as I am an everyday smoker. I don't think I can go 'cold turkey' quite yet so my question is this: Which would leave the THC in my system the longest?
1. Smoking .3g each night (7 days/week)
2. Smoking 2.1g over the weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun)

I figure that starting now, I can cut back and either smoke just a little each night, or none during the week and just smoke more on the weekends. Do you think it will make any difference either way?

Just looking for friendly advice. Peace!

If you're trying to clean your system out, then you shouldn't add anything else to it; end of story. The longer you continue to blaze, the longer it'll take to drop below detectable levels...

If you need this job, why take a chance?

Agreed.

The best way to do it is go cold turkey. First few days will be the roughest, but after that, it won't matter that much to you.

Just stop, It's nothing.
I went from smoking a coupe times a day, to nothing, just like that.

It's been months now, no issues no problems, no cravings. It's not crack, or heroin.

Stop smoking, get your job drug test over with, and move on.

I think its bullshit they factor thc and not alcohol. Sure alcohol is legal but think about it rationally. Would you rather be the boss of a pothead or an alcoholic.

Okay.

Technically, urine analysis will pick up a fair amount of anything that is in your system, including alcohol. I imagine that if you take a DT drunk, the test will detect the alcohol in your piss.

However, booze is metabolized much faster than THC, so you'd probably have to drink directly before a test to register.

I think it's BS aswell would you rather have a guy who tokes up once in awhile, or would you rather have an alcoholic working for you.

Put it down.

This isn't crack. Just stop smoking. You are not going to be punching walls and throwing up in the toilet. You might be mildly irritated, and have more energy. Might start dreaming....nothing crazy.

Or you could buy one of those fake penis clean urine dispensers......that would be funny. Called the whizzinator or something like that.

I bought 5 Urine luck syn. piss kits...

comes with heating pad and small bottle. Perfect for job screening as they are done unsupervised..

having said that I have not needed to use 1 yet, but I figured I should stock up before they outlaw them


I'll Quit when they throw me in JAIL...

Best way is to uh.... stop smoking.

About 3 years ago I was smoking everyday, about 1-1.5gs a day. Then I quit before I moved, didn't need any step program or smoking rations to do it.

Just put the joint down. You can pick it up later, if you want.

Personally, I'd want to hire the toker, too.

If you had an office full of tokers, you could bring a bong to the staff meeting. I guarantee you I would not miss that quarterly financial update...

withdrawl symptoms from herb..

The best way to stop is to get it out of your home. If it's not around, you can't be tempted by it. I know, easy to say, not so easy to do! It's the only thing that would work for me if I were in your shoes.

Good luck, hope it works out.

Ok - it's true, you do need to go cold turkey. But the real trick to it is finding something else to do. The hardest part of quitting smoking weed, is finding something entertaining to do with the time you would have been smoking.

Personally, I hit the gym and get into books n sudoko n crosswords. Films are harder if you're used to smoking while watching (and crap films you just can't watch sober). But you need to find something that really interests you and keeps you occupied. DO NOT START DRINKING BOOZE TO SUBSTITUTE!

It's not hard to quit MJ - but it's a daunting prospect before you take the plunge. It get's easier every day though - and it's more the psychological crutch which you'll miss.

Good luck!

NPK,

Yep - or alternatively, get out of your home and go on holiday. Marijuana isnt physically addictive like tobacco, so when I had to go to overseas for a couple weeks just recently I found that I only found myself wanting a smoke a couple times because it was pointless thinking about something I didnt have access to.

i agree with the motion to just leave it alone. i made a pact with myself to not smoke until it was my own, and i would ride out my grow. i mean c'mon its super silver haze for gods sakes so nuff said! lol but it isnt like crack or anything else.

now if you have an addictive personality then it may be harder for you, but its cannabis its none addictive , so yeah, just put it down. leave it alone for a while get your job, and then start up again once the coast is clear.

hell you may be able to make the entire probation time and not have smoked anything without even realizing it! clean up your grow room (if you have),you cold always do cannabis related stuff.

 

[gws35]

you just have to bite the bullet for a couple months....something that might help is a tight black, greasy maduro cigar....a nice punch maduro comes to mind...is it the same thing?...well no, but you will catch a buzz....you can pretend right my buds call em marijuana replacement sticks...lol

 

[mangled]

just go cold turkey, its only pot

they key is to keep yourself occupied, boredom = smoking

 

[dbuzz]

why would anyone quit smoking for a simple job screener? you get total privacy and it's cake to pass.

substitution and synthetic urine is your friend. i have smoked through every drug test in my life. work and probation. synthetic urine is pretty much foul-proof with the right temps.
