Urine Analysis tomorrow. Your advice?
Saturday night (Technically Sunday morning) I took 5 hits of a marijuana/k2 mixture at 2am-3am. I just got surprised to hear that I have an orientation for a job TOMORROW at 2pm and they do a drug screening almost immediately.
I have done some extensive homework and I have found out that many factors affect your ability to pass a UA and the half-life of marijuana in your system
1. How much body fat you have
2. How frequently you use.
3. How much you smoked
4. Exercise
5. Fluid intake (I’ve read it helps, I read it hasn’t. It’s been a hit and miss.)
So given that these are true, I would like to state that..
1. I’m skin and bones
2. I’ve used 5 times my whole life. Before Saturday night, the last time I smoked was December 31st
3. I took 5 hits of a marijuana/k2 mixture which I was told by more experienced smokers, that it’s not much at all
4. Primarily I exercise for 2 hours a day. It’s entirely a cardio workout.
5. I’ve definitely upped my water intake for these past few days.
I do not have the money for Vitamin B2, Creatine, or any magic detox formulas. I simply have water, cranberry juice, coffee, Powerade, Excedrin Extra-Strength (w/ Asprin), motivation, and very little time. All which I will use to great extents, given that the option to dilute and mask is highly recommended.
Do you recommend dilution or would you say the factors I listen previously might work in my favor and I should just pee and pray time and nature worked in my favor and should just go ahead and take the whiz quiz without any dilution?
How much Excedrin should I take?
Does the “Pee mostly in the toilet first then use the rest to fill the cup to the required amount second” method work? Or just a myth?
If I should dilute….With the little I have to work with, how should I go about diluting? The test is at 2pm and I will get up at any necessary time you recommend to start this process.
Apologies for the lengthiness of the question. I’m just a little apprehensive at the moment.
Now while I wait for an answer I will spend the next few minutes beating myself up for ever touching the grass in the first place…. 🙁
Disregard the typos please 🙂
May I ask why skip the Excedrin? I was told it helped confuse it or something, I donno!
and thank you that answer was very refreshing 🙂
My friend used to have to take drug tests often due to being caught with it (he has the worst luck). He now smokes K2. K2 won’t show up on a drug test, but you probably know that already. Marijuana takes about a week or two to pass completely out of your system. Drinking extra fluids would help to “clean out the system,” as it were, so if you’ve been drinking extra fluids that will have helped.
Drinking extra water on the day of the test may also help, but if you’re too diluted, they may make you retake the test. If it’s just for a job, though, they most likely won’t make you retest and will probably just think you drink a lot of water like a healthy person, haha. Also, I wouldn’t be too worried as 5 tokes, as your friends said, isn’t much at all, especially with a mix.
Hope this helps. And I’d skip the Excedrin.
First off, make sure they, in fact, DO use urinalysis. There are many different types of drug tests. Hair test being, IMHO, the hardest to beat. Anyway, continuing on the assumption it IS a UA test:
You are doing good by drinking water and flushing your system. The morning of the test, and until you take the test, try to eat VERY fattening foods. Sounds crazy, I know, but where is THC stored? In fat cells. If you are burning food energy, you aren’t burning fat energy, therefore you aren’t releasing as much THC to be secreted in your urine. Keep with the dilution method. It’s not AS important in the days following up to a drug test, as it is the DAY OF the drug test. Make sure you are pissing clear before you go pee for them. You don’t want ANY color in your urine. Depending on how strict the company is, they may inform you that you have given them a diluted sample, in which case, reschedule your drug test. They can’t fire or refuse to hire you based on a negative/other than positive result.
Your other method, which is a little harder to do and a LOT scarier and will only work if it’s an un-supervised test, is substitution. Take a small 4oz bottle. I use a small lotion bottle, but it’s really up to you. Be sure to wash it VERY good. Until there is no smell, residue, anything. Get comfortable holding the bottle in your genital region. Be sure you can walk around, sit, and stand with general ease without letting the bottle come loose. Get someone who you know is clean to fill the bottle up for you. Once that is done, you have two options. It’s really up to you. Urine will stay “good” for up to 2-3 days unrefrigerated, so you could leave somewhere cool, out of sight. If you don’t have to worry about that though, I would recommend putting it in a refrigerator. A few hours prior to the test, begin using your own natural body heat to warm the bottle. It is imperative to keep it at or around 96-99 degrees. On the way to the drug test, you can even put the bottle on the dashboard and turn a defroster on, just don’t get it too hot. (my car has heated seats, so I just cranked the heat all the way up and took the lack of comfort with a smile)
I hope any of my info helps 🙂
EDIT: I would personally skip the Excedrin also. I forgot to mention that. Aspirin has been known to mess with the dip-stick assays for THC in the past. But there is no conclusive evidence that that particular method still works. It isn’t worth the possible liver damage.
EDIT2: erowid.org has an article, http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=41823, which chronicles an experiment with the detection times of THC over a 3 day period.
