freakin out...or should I?

What's goin on yall,
quick question that you probably heard 100 times, but I need some reassurance or brutal truth. I've been on probation for the past 4.5 years and only have 6 months to go...used to be a smoker but gave it up...until last week. I indulged in 5 or 6 tokes of good stuff cause my friend assured I'd be clean in no time.

Now, I have exactly 4 weeks until I may or may not get piss tested. I haven't smoked in 4.5 years until last week and only took a few big hits. for the past week I've been drinking at least a gallon of water a day, lot's of green tea, been running a bit since I'm 20lbs overweight, and I'm loaded up on Vitamin B, C, and Omega 3's.

How long do you think until I'm good to go?
Thanks in advance.
PS> home testing myself tomorrow morning, first thing just to see where I stand.

 

Don't work out within the week of your piss test and you should be golden. 4 weeks is a lot of time.

 

ok cool...I heard I should load up on fatty food before the test and whatnot...but if I pass a home test then I should be all set right? I wonder if I'm clean now...7 days later

 

Nooooo. Home tests are nowhere near as accurate. Plus you said you are drinking lots of fluids - that will dilute your urine and causes home tests to show up negative. Dilute your urine in a lab test and they count it positive.

Don't eat fatty food, just for the sake of being healthy. And generally, the healthier you are the quicker you're metabolism is. THC needs to be metabolized and passed through your body...just keep working out (running!!! at least 12 minutes STRAIGHT would do wonders!) and drink lots of fluids for now.

Don't exercise 2-3 days before the test and seriously cut back on fluids. Continue with healthy foods!

I seriously doubt you will have much to worry about

 

the results don't get sent into a lab. the PO uses the dipstick thing right in the pisscup.

 

hmm, well better safe than sorry. but if you are doin all this to get healthier (you said you are running because you wanted to lose some weight) then you should continue on just for that sake and the drug test will be easy peasy

 

well, I hope you're right...I think I'll be fine, but it really wasn't worth it to smoke. I'll hopefully pass, then I'll wait 6 more months so I'm in the clear for the rest of my life...my goal is to be in Amsterdam livin it up by the end of the year....

 

UPDATE: I just took a "First Check THC TEST" it came back negative for THC at a 50ng/ml cutoff level...I did however take it in the afternoon after a day where I drank a couple bottles of water...but it did not return an invalid result, it was a definite negative.

Does this mean I'm ok for a potential on-site urine test for probation in 16 days?

 

in 16 days you're probably gravy, just work out a little bit, flush your system by drinking cranberry juice, which you should on the daily cuz its so dayum good and just stay hydrated.

 

Stay healthy and dont eat fatty foods the day of. I've been told (I dont know the truth in this) that eating fatty foods bring those fat containing thc into your blood or urine. I dont know how true that is but It can't hurt.

Good luck!

 

so how did everything go?

 

eating fatty foods makes the THC stay in your fat cells longer, because the only way to get it out is to burn the fat cells off that it is stuck to. plus there is some scientific shit about half lives and stuff. the average time to pass i about a week, depending on your metabolism and how much you work out.

good luck
