Well I was stupid and took about 4 small hits of weed from a popcan Friday night. This was the first time I have smoked in about 8 weeks. I got a call today and now have an interview tomorrow (Wednesday) for a job that piss tests. I've done some research and sites like Wikipedia and Erowid both say it only stays in your system 1-3 days for a single use. Most other sites say the same thing but I have found a few that say otherwise. I am pretty skinny (6 foot 165 lbs) with a high metabolism. If I get this job tomorrow should I be ok?

Agreed.
Since you've already admitted being stupid, no sense beating that horse.
There's alot of controversy if the *Chong* method fixes work or not, but you have a good chance of it showing up.
Next time, if you know you are applying for jobs, don't do it. Better yet....
Morally right or wrong, doesn't matter. Rodge said it best in Lethal Weapon, "cause beer is legal, grass ain't."
If you don't, oh will I laugh.
As will I. Even if you hadn't smoked even for 8 months, you shouldn't have done it that night. There are consequences, this could be one.
Watch, this will turn into another famous CAG pot thread.

It was dumb but I guess thats what drinking a lot of alcohol will do to your judgement. I've just been drinking a lot of water and hoping I'll pass. I can't see how 4 very small hits could stay in my system that long but you never know. I did end up puking that night but Im not sure if that would help my case any :). Guess I'll have to wait it out and if I fail, find another job.

When I went in for my drug test at my current job, I saw a grown man cry in front of the drug test people because he knew he was going to fail. LOL! On top of that he tried to buy some piss from me in the parking lot before he went in.

Well if its anything like my other job, after being hired you have 24 hours to go to the testing center and do the piss test. My interview isnt until 230 tomorrow so IF i even get the job I could probably wait until Thursday to take the test. Not sure how much a day would matter, but it might.

That's the single worst idea EVER! I would rather take my chances then make it so damn obvious. "I need more time to find some detox or just get it out of my system so can I get a bit of an extension on that drug test?"
If I was an employer that would set off so many red flags I would be tempted to reject him right there.
Exactly. That's like asking the officer if he'd pull you over tomorrow, rather than today because you forgot your license at home.

Yeah a pot thread... Seriously though if you havent smoked for a very long time as you say you did, you should be fine.. Just drink alot of water, coffee or what ever you want that will make you piss alot. Since you are real skinny( not alot of room for extra weight at 6" 165lbs) you should not have an issue with your body storing it... If you want to be safe though go and buy the detox drinks..

I've heard that drinking a lot of fluid doesn't necessarily clean you out, but it dilutes your urine so the weed can't be detected as easily. If this is true, then I'm guessing I should drink a lot of water right before going in for the test?

Sometimes that's not any better. Maybe not in this context, but heavily diluted urine can be considered a positive test in some cases.
battleroyal33
05-30-2006, 01:33 PM
You are correct, it dilutes and helps to flush your system. This will only help the people who do not smoke pot on a regular basis, such as yourself.. Again you said you only had 3 or 4 hits off it, that is not that much and you probably have nothing to worry about.. And you need to start drinking water now, alot of it, from now until you go into to take the test if you want to be sure...

But you're not an employer, so you don't reallly have an idea of what you're talking about.
You don't ask nonchalantly, "hey man, could you extend me an extra day?" Drug testing centers aren't open 24 hours a day, some people can't make it legitimtely on the assigned day due to certain circumstances. I've done it before and it's certainly not going to raise any flags unless you're retarded.

Just drink cranberry juice straight (the real kind, not Ocean Spray) and flush out your system.
It takes a week or so to leave your urine I think, so just try to drink plenty of fluids.
I don't smoke at all, but I don't believe people should be denied employment just because they like to get high on weekends. I know many smokers who are worlds more coordinated and intelligent than nonsmokers.

This is true, however the test will come back indicating diluted urine which may be a red flag for employers. Some guy I worked with last year had this result for his drug test and lied about saying that he had to drink a lot of fluids for creatine he started taking. Not sure how believable the workout excuse will be for a 6', 165 lb. guy though.

A similar thing happened to my friend. He wasn't really a pothead at all.. I think he's smoked like 5 times total in his life? On a Sunday night, he went and smoked with friends. That Tuesday, he had a drug test. (He had an interview on Monday, and then they set up the drug test for Tuesday... so I am somewhat sympathetic).
Anyway, he was nervous as heck and went and worked out constantly and drank a bunch of juice or whatever -- any and every urban myth (or fact?) known to weed-smoking man. Somehow, he passed the test.
This whole story comes with an asterisk, though. Because he is a n00bie smoker, a lot of our buddies give him crap, as they say he doesn't even inhale when he smokes... he's essentially ignorant to the process and does it wrong. So some of uf speculate that him being a dumbass (not smoking right) might have saved him from another mess that that he got into by being a dumbass ("smoking" with an interview the day after..).

LOL 85% huh? So you're saying 85% of employers pay for the MOST expensive drug test? No, most of them use the piss test because AFAIK it is the cheapest. Many are even going to the salival tests because they can do them on the spot for instant results (for example, Lowes does this now).

The best thing you could do would be the following:
Immediatly set up an appointment to talk to the HR person or who ever is hiring and state the following:
Hi, this opportunity means a lot to me, unfortunatly I've been a total dumbass and I did a hit of weed last week. This is totally out of character for me, and I wanted to come clean up front so there wasn't any surprises. I know that there isn't any way to actually "beat the test" and this has taught me a real life lesson about the fact that doing illegal drugs EVER is wrong. I understand that this probably takes me out of the running for this position this year, but I hope that since I've admited that I've been TOTALLY RETARDED that you will consider me next year if I'm out of the running this year because I was STUPID.
Honesty can work wonders.

I think that you should be able to do any drug you want. But for any type of empoyment you have to pass a drug test and they retest every month.
And if you commit a crime trying to feed yourself and you are a drug offendor you should be executed.

05-30-2006, 03:28 PM
well it all depends on the company you work for. I am thirty and smoke on a regular basis. I have been in the corporate world since I was 23, I first started at Bluecross and Blue Shield and since then I have worked for 2 mortgage companies( Wells Fargo and Countrywide Home loans) and now I work at my current job. Of all 4 places I have worked I have only been drug tested at 1, BCBS and that was only on the day of hire( and I was there for 3 years until I went to become a loan officer). Companies have different policies, just because your company is a stickler, doesnt mean all the other ones are. Heck most of my friends are either a sales rep or a driver for Champion Brands here in Jacksonville FL, Champion Brands is the dist for all MILLER BEER products and they get drug tested for the fun of it so of course those guys wont smoke, but they sure as hell are jealous of the fact I can toke at will without the fear of losing my job over it...
On another note, one of the instructors at the martial arts school I train at is a lab tech, not a nurse but she works in one of these lab/test places that people go to for new hirings, workmans comp or if you need lab work done and the majority of drug screening tests they do are for piss, she says that her company only uses hair tests when companies request it directy for certian people they think are using or when workmans comp is involed...

Yes, it is a crime to be high. It's just a privacy agreement that keeps you from being reported to the po-po.

Unless they let him pee in a cup at home and bring it to work, a positive drug test would put you under the influence of an illegal substance where you're not in the privacy of your own home.
You get arrested for DUI if you fail a breathalyzer even if you don't feel drunk anymore.

You get arrested for DUI if you fail a breathalyzer even if you don't feel drunk anymore.That doens't really apply to the question I asked. What statute makes being under the influence of a drug illegal? I'm not talking about operating a vehicle while impaired nor public intoxication. I'm asking, if you're in your back yard and are all smoked up, but there's no paraphenalia or weed around on searching, what are cops going to arrest you for?

Here's New Jersey (first search result that came up), I'm sure it's similar in most states:
Any person who uses or who is under the influence of any controlled
dangerous substance, or its analog, for a purpose other than the treatment
of sickness or injury as lawfully prescribed or administered by a physician
is a disorderly person.

:lol:
One law isn't really good enough for the point. Because, for instance, there's Washington's law:
RCW 46.61.266
Pedestrians under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
A law enforcement officer may offer to transport a pedestrian who appears to be under the influence of alcohol or any drug and who is walking or moving along or within the right of way of a public roadway, unless the pedestrian is to be taken into protective custody under RCW 70.96A.120.
The law enforcement officer offering to transport an intoxicated pedestrian under this section shall:
(1) Transport the intoxicated pedestrian to a safe place; or
(2) Release the intoxicated pedestrian to a competent person.
The law enforcement officer shall take no action if the pedestrian refuses this assistance. No suit or action may be commenced or prosecuted against the law enforcement officer, law enforcement agency, the state of Washington, or any political subdivision of the state for any act resulting from the refusal of the pedestrian to accept this assistance.They're quite nice to intoxicated peoples, you see. Intoxicated people in public, which goes beyond my question of private property.

I doubt there's a federal statute, if that's what you're asking for. I'm surprised at the Washington law since I'm fairly certain public intoxication (drug use aside) is disorderly wherever I've lived. How many states do you need to see it illegal in for it to make or break your point?

Of course, the man is always looking for more ways to keep prisons full, so I shouldn't be surprised about such laws as NJs.

I've passed like 20 drug tests already... and I still use drugs. For someone like yourself, I'd say 3 days is enough for you to be clean if you drink water at a regular pace, no special accomodations necessary, 5 days or so if you wanna be safe about it. Friday -> Tuesday = 4 days so I think you'll be fine. THC tends to bind to fat cells... so, don't eat too many fatty foods and try to run (sweat) a little.
Btw, I heard that companies issue drug tests for legal reasons. Mainly, if you're found to fail a drug test after you've already been hired, not only are they not allowed to fire you, but they can choose to send you to mandatory rehap, all while paying for missed time AND your rehap. This is why companies try not to hire crackheads and give out those initial drug tests. Why they give out further drugs tests? I don't know, they'll probably black list you and fire you later for something else...

If you're high and you injure yourself, (or worse) someone else, they are legally responsible so it's mostly a safety issue why they would retest certain people. Especially those who are "accident prone".

Things like this happen rarely. Don't let such minor hurdles get in the way of your drug use! Just next time be sure to be clean when you put in a job application. :)

Personally I feel weed is a lot safer than alcohol. Alcohol, as far as I know, has caused a lot more deaths than weed. I agree that people shouldn't do hardcore drugs BUT I also think it is their own choice. We live in a free country. It is true that certain people that do drugs are irresponsible, etc but not everyone is like that. I would say that going into work "high" is wrong though.

Duh...?
One is legal and has easy access too... the other isn't. So of course alcohol has caused more deaths.
Both are equally deadly, it's just you don't find as many people driving while high and driving while drunk. I forgot where it was but they did a study. One bowl actually doesn't impair your driving, it calms you down and in some people improves it. But after that it degrades just like alcohol.
The two are really hard to compare though because ones legal/social (or socially accepted) and the other isn't as mainstream (yet).

I was just about to bump this last night, congrats man
meanwhile, my friend has to take a blood test at some point this month (doesn't even know if they're going to test for weed) and he's been carrying a 2L water bottle with him whereever he went for the past two weeks
Btw, I heard that companies issue drug tests for legal reasons. Mainly, if you're found to fail a drug test after you've already been hired, not only are they not allowed to fire you, but they can choose to send you to mandatory rehap, all while paying for missed time AND your rehap.
This isn't true in VA, and I really doubt there is a law like this in any state.

Shave your head so they can't do the hair test (better shave the short 'n' curlies, too. You don't know how far they might go!). ;)
If you shave your head they go for the butt hair , or so my friend says, watch out! :hot:
