Taking a urine test?

Hey riuppers,

I was drug screened for my new job today and was pretty nervous because I would classify myself as a moderate user (1-4 grams/week) and smoked about 9 days prior to the test. I'm 5'10'' and 140 lbs. Because urine testing is the most common type being adminstered, I figured there were others like me who were searching for information.

I wanted to share a link to an amazing scientific article about the detection period of thc in urine testing. http://www.ndci.org/sites/default/files/ndci/THC_Detection_Window_0.pdf This article essentially shows that the 30 day myth of thc remaining in your system is an exception rather than the rule. I highly recommend everyone read this if you plan to continue smoking. It eased my mind after reading that many test subjects who were "chronic users" could pass a urine test in as little as 14 days at a 20ng/mL cuttoff level. You will learn a lot if you read it. From the site where the link is posted also has valuable information. http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=4934

Anyways, I hope this helps some of you. Peace, guys.

Good Read !

Totally man, to further support the evidence, I went to Wal-Mart today to buy a home drug test kit because I wanted to know today rather than wait until tomorrow to find out if I passed (I hate suspense and stress) and I got a negative result!

I probably smoked 3 grams last week and a few the week before!

And the fact you are a skinny dude, you should have no problem. How much did that wal-mart test cost? Is it as accurate? Do you send the sample in?

Thx

A perk of being a bony man ; )

The drug kit is called First Check, you can buy 3 different types in the Wal-Mart pharmacy. This one only tested for marijuana cause I don't do other stuff really. It comes with a little box that you can ship to a diagnostic corp but it only takes 5 minutes for results in displayed on the lid. You have to provide the postage. It claims results will be ready 5-7 days after the sample is received. You just place a lil sticker with a barcode and include it with your sample and mail it away. It was 14.04 with tax included. Claims to be 99% accurate.

The test basically works like the initial screening for a urinalysis. It uses a 50 ng/mL cutoff to determine whether you are pos. or neg. Laboratories only test twice if you test postive over 50 ng/mL. So if you pass this test, your urine test should be fine as well in theory.
