How long to get clean?

My old job is lackin' hours and I'm thinking about getting a new one but I'd need to pass the drug test. I'm a mid/heavy smoker and the only bud I touch is chronic, so it may take a while to clear out. I'll also be using system flushing tea and Niacin, but aren't counting them as assets, just extra precautions in conjunction with a full break. So, the tea and Niacin aside, how long should I quit to safely pass?

 

dude i can garuentee you will be clean in under a week if u pop a lil niacin everyday and cut caffeine and ciggarettes out of your diet (just until test day) the tea doesnt sound like to great a idea though

 

they have lots of teas that clean out your system that are good ot have

 

Yeah, I'm starting to take two pills of niacin daily, one in the morning and one at night, and the tea was like $40 from GNC so it better do somethin'.. Not like I paid for it either way. But yeah I don't smoke cigs really and I hardly consume any caffiene because of a small heart problem... So a week and I should be good to go?

 

i heard green tea is supposed to work too, but I don't really know.


I do know piss tests are gay, you should be evaluated on your work, not what you do when you aren't at work.

 

i'd say a week or two if you're doin that shit to help.

 

Yeah, but if I wasn't doin' it then how long would it usually take?

 

if you've been smoking daily for over a month, count on waiting 3-4 weeks to get clean. it depends on lots of factors, but the most important one is HOW long you've been smoking regularly, which you failed to tell us about...

you'll need some serious detox to pass in a week.....

 

Well, let's just say that I didn't include that part because I've been smokin' so long I can remember... Actually I can't remember past yesterday...

 

if you've been smoking heavily for a long time, then it will take you several weeks to get clean--up to about 7 or 8 even. i'd give it at least 4 weeks....

 

Traces of THC gets stored in lipid material in your body. Maybe you should try burning off some body fat to get rid of it? Exercise a lot but not a few days before your test.

 

If your taking the pill and drinking the tea you should be fine but drink as much water as you can handle, and you should know when the test is so a week before is when you should start with the pills and water but of course don't smoke! I didn't take any pills or tea I drank this drink that help me retain water and I drank alot of water like a gallon every 45mins. for the whole week and I past a drug test... Good luck

 

I've heard that drinking water days before the test really does nothing for you though... And I am an active heavy weight lifter and do a fair amount of track running.

 

^I always understood that if they tested and found you had drank unusual quantity of water they would demand a second test, or not pass it? Which seems unfair to me. Cranberry juice is also supposed to be good I think?

 

Yeah, well I think they test for creatine (sp?) levels, but I eat A LOT of burgers and red meat so that's really not a concern for me..

 

just make sure u quit like, a month before you get another job, it will natrually get out of your system in about a month depending on size and drink plenty of water!

 

drink lots of coffee, sweat lots, eat your greens, and keep active (not a couch potato.. or internet jellyfish.

 

By coffee do you mean caffeine? Because I absolutely cannot stand coffee but I have no problem gulpin' down energy drinks. And I am pretty active, more anaerobicly so, though, but that's not really worrying me.. And I guess I'll have to start eatin' salad...
