    About a month ago my parents tested me and I was positive for THC. My friends said that the vitamin Niacin would clear my system, but I've been reading stuff on the internet about it and a lot of people said it was just a myth. I was wondering if it really does work? Or if you know other things that will clear my sytem?

    niacin is horrible, the side effects are horrible, and rarely works.

    One thing i use monthly (on 2 yr probabtion) is a product called StripCleanse, its found in GNC stores but it comes with a 50$ tag. Household products just dont beat the testing anymore.

    Are you thinking of Niacin, or Niacinamide? My doctor precribed my Niacin to "clean the acid out of my brain" because he's worried I'm gonna get flashbacks...it's bullshit, I know, but he's a doctor. So that might be how that myth or fact (I don't know, because I'm not familiar with it) started...
    That sucks your parents are testing you. My parents have mouth-swab tests which can test for way more than urine tests, but I know they'll never use them. They keep threatening though, but they're too expensive, and they mostly trust me...

    First off, Niacin is vitamin B3, and has many health benifits.

    Secondly, it can improve kidney function, and enhances metabolism, but theres no evidence that it actually works, just some people saying, 'Yeah, it worked for this guy I know.'

    But it may help, my advice is when you know you have a test comming up, quit for a week, exercise a lot, and drink lots of water.

    Or stop smoking. But I'm not judging anything. [​IMG]

    I was taking it for a while when I was going to get tested, because two of my brothers and their friend told me that it for sure worked for them
    but then I never ended up getting tested..but now I am again...and I still have my bottle of niacin so i'm going to take it anyway:p
    but yes the side effects are fun

    Or just switch to drugs that don't stay in your system for months at a time. Tell your parents their drug-testing is going to make you a Coke addict.

    Don't tell them.
    Just do it.
    Show them who's really in charge. [​IMG]

    Both, in a sense, but I was referring to Niacin B3 (aka Vitamin B3, Niacine).

    If you take niacin, get ready for the "niacin burn". An awfull feeling of a (what can be described as) a traveling sunburn.

    I take Yogi detox tea. And so far has worked for me.
    It can be found at any health food store or organic marketplace.
