if you are really worried about not passing the test, you can always go out and buy a detox. you can buy the drink for like $25 (around where i live) and you will be good. everyone that i know of that used the detox passed their test. just advoid smoking if you can, or don't smoke alot. stop atleast 3 or 4 days before the test and use the detox before the test if you want.
you should tell us how long you've been smoking on the 1/8-a-week schedule. sounds like you have 3-5 weeks before the test. you should be fine if you don't smoke again. if you've been smoking like a madman, you might not be clean for 6 weeks. that's why it would be helpful to know more... good luck.
I have cheated drug tests and have no personal issues having done so, as I believe it is wrong and unconstitutional to be drug tested.
I've heard that your body stores THC in fat cells. Does anybody know if that's true? The point here is that once you start burning fat, the toxins (THC) are released into the body.
Yes THC is fat soluble, which is why it can be detected up to a month. No THC is not a toxin at any point. What is stored in your fat cells are nontoxic, nonpsychoactive metabolites, similar to other organic metabolites such as food.
The only way to get THC out of your body is to exercise. But you can do what dude said above and get a detox drink which will mask your test by holding the THC in your body.
i'm not sure if it's that easy. sharkall2003, it sounds like you've been smoking quite a bit. you're likely saturated at this point. you will probably need all the time that you can get in order to pass. drinking water will help significantly and perhaps exercise (although i don't know about this for sure). also, for concealedculture, the stored THC metabolite is indeed psychoactive! that's why you still feel stoned even though you haven't smoked in a while... it's also why your memory still sucks despite not having smoked in a while.... the halflife of THC is very, very long... this also explains why the body reaches saturation levels fairly quickly and why you need many weeks to pass a drug test if you've reached that point...
How long is awhile? For me, after a couple hours I am completely sober and my memory is back 100%. But I'm pretty chronic. If the metabolites are psychoactive, why would they be called metabolites? Also how would they make you feel stoned if they are stored in your fat, not in your bloodstream in turn going to your brain?
what place did you get a job at? There's a pretty good chance they will use a saliva test which is quite inaccurate.
you may think that you are 100% back to normal, but this is not really so, as THC remains in the brain and body for quite some time after smoking. of course, this depends on how much and how often one smokes: the traces of a single session of smoking will disappear within 24-72 hours; multiple sessions persisting for weeks will lengthen the elimination half-life of THC up to about a maximum of six weeks. metabolites are simply biological byproducts; these chemicals can be active OR inactive within the body. in fact, sometimes metabolites are MORE powerful than the actual drug, as is the case when ingesting morphine. the reason this drug is so powerful is because one of its metabolites (morphine-6-glucuronide) is approximately 10-20x as potent as morphine itself. in fact, the majority of the analgesic effect mediated by morphine is due to this secondary metabolite. here's a couple brief passages from Julien's "A Primer of Drug Action" (2005) that sum up everything quite nicely: "Once THC is absorbed, it is distributed to the various organs of the body, especially those that have significant concentrations of fatty material. Thus, THC readily penetrates the brain; the blood-brain barrier does not appear to hinder its passage... THC is almost completely metabolized by hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes to an active metabolite (11-hydroxy-delta-6-THC) that is subsequently converted to an inactive metabolite (11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC-COOH or carboxy-THC) that is excreted in the urine. The metabolism of THC itself is quite slow; an elimination half-life of about 30 hours is generally accepted, although some researchers report a longer half-life. Therefore, THC can persist in the body for several days to about 2 weeks, longer in chronic smokeres and obese smokers. Such a delay tends to prolong and intensify the activity of subsequently smoked marijuana, forming a type of "reverse tolerance" to the drug, where the persistent low levels are potentiated by subsequently smoked THC cigarettes." "Like most psychoactive drugs, only minute quantities of THC are found in the urine of persons who use the drug. Therefore, urin testing for THC focuses primarily on identification of its metabolite, carboxy-THC. this carboxy-THC is only slowly excreted; its half-life in urine varies from about 30 hours to 60 hours (Huestis and Cone, 1998), even longer in obese individuals. Chronic smokers, even if they smoke only two to three times weekly, have persistently positive urine tests for carboxy-THC. A heavy smoker who stops smoking may test positive for carboxy-THC in urine for about a month after cessation. Thus, a positive urinalysis can indicate either recent use or use that occurred several weeks earlier..." i hope that everyone here, not just the original poster, will find this information to be very helpful. it is because of the very nature of THC that it is so important to know how much someone smokes and how long they've been smoking; passing a drug test is a fairly simple matter of calculation. peace.
i dont know but this has worked for both me and my brother around 4 times all came negative. stop smoking as soon as you find out but the last week drink a water and like 2 or 3 azo cranberry pills with it. me and my brohter would find like 9 days before so we would not smoke for 3 days and dirnk water( like 9 glasses day) and then after the three days still didnt smoke but added like 3 azo cranberry pills tothe tihng and i came positive. so it worked succesfully on 2 ppl and i herd it fomr myt cuzzin w ho passed from the school to prove innocence on a bubbler, and also my cuzzin heard it from his frind whow as on probation and he never went to jail
