Urine drug test and air in grow room

Does hanging out in a grow room cause people to fail the urine drug test for THC?

I'm guessing the answer is "no" because I don't feel like I am getting high at all in the grow room. It does make me feel good, but I attribute that to mostly the increased oxygen and the HPS light feels like sunshine.

u anwsered your own question. Good job.

I'm kind of nervous because I have a drug test tomorrow for a job. I haven't done any in almost three weeks, but still I'm worried, because the three days before I stopped I did some brownies, which can be more powerful. I have some home test strips and I appear to be passing, but I am still worried. I plan on loading up on water and taking my multi vitamins a couple of hours before the test.

I really need this job. And it is actually a fairly decent job. I still don't know what their drug testing policy is after hiring, but I'm obviously hoping it is only after reasonable suspicion or an accident of some sort, which I can live with. If it is random testing, I might have to quit, which I don't want to do. Anyway I look at it, eating brownies is out. I'll have to go with a couple of tokes here and there.

Here is what makes me mad. I am worried about passing a THC test and I haven't smoked in almost three weeks. And yet someone else taking the same test could have drank a fifth of vodka a day for the entire week before the test, maybe skipping the day before the test, and they would pass the test with flying colors. So the person putting the toxic poison in their body gets a pass while another person who has been clean for three weeks gets nailed for a drug that is non-toxic. Bullshit, it is.

worse... a someone could do some meth a week before and pee squeaky clean.

but no i don't think hanging out in a grow room will make you fail a drug test. i would say smoke a bowl and settle down but i guess that's bit self defeating.

do some exercise drink lots of water and you'll be fine.

It all depends on how heavy a smoker you were before you quit, how much body fat you have and also the type of test used. Most employers don't use cheap test strips which are the least effective.

I passed the test. The thing that had me worried is that while I quit almost three weeks ago, the three days before quitting I hit the brownies pretty hard. This saturates your body more. If I had just been doing a few tokes now and then, it would not have been this nerve wracking. Four days before the test, I did an intense workout to sweat some of this stuff out and clear my system. Every night for the three days before the test, I took a hot bath and sat in front of the heater trying to sweat even more. Throughout all the last week, I drank lots of water. God I am sick of water. Today a couple hours before the test, I took my normal vitamins, which will turn the urine yellower, so it doesn't look totally clear. This was a big huge international company that had it's own infirmary. They used special cups where the test strip was built in so the test was almost instant. He said I was clear and flushed the contents of the cup down the toilet. If there was any question, he would have saved the cup and maybe sent out for further testing. I'm not overweight, but since I was unemployed I did put on ten to fifteen extra pounds, so I have more fat than I would like.

It is really sick how much more dangerous drugs like meth and cocaine get out of your system way faster. It is bullshit. When they finally legalize pot, they won't be able to discriminate based on urine tests, because they are not an impairment test in any way shape or form.

I hear ya! The most NONTOXIC substance lingers for weeks to months while a meth head or someone who went on a cocaine binge will be clean after a four day weekend. The shit that can and usually does destroys the body and families is "job safer" to use than something that does one no harm.

If you need your job so bad, why are you even risking it?

And I agree with your statements 100% bud, but is smoking worth losing your financial security? Its not like you are addicted to pot, lol, so really man you need to check your motives and evaluate whats more important.

Just because you think it's okay, doesn't mean they won't fire your ass on the spot if you piss dirty.

I didn't know I was risking anything because I was unemployed without any real job prospects. This was a pre-employment test. Sure I was applying at places, but I hadn't got a response to any of my applications in months. I was also depressed, which is why I like a little cannabis. So it kind of snuck up on me. I'm going to certainly remain clean for the next few months to see what their procedures are.

lol you sound like a buddy of mine. every time i show him the grow he says in almost a whisper, "do you think this will show up on a piss test?" i am a firm believer that someone who does not smoke cannabis can even be in the room with smokers several times a week and still pass the test as long as they don't do edibles and don't have some weird metabolism. glad to hear you passed. cannabis testing for employment is total bullshit.

I always heard that THC is fat soluble, not water soluble. If that's the case, doesn't it sound to reason that if you eat a lot of fatty foods but pass them as opposed to storing the fats, the THC would be flushed? I've always been curious about that. I had to take a drug test a while back and I had quit smoking for just a little over a week and passed the THC part, but was popped on Butalb. Luckily I had a prescription for it. So I guess that's one way of passing a urine test. Just get a prescription of Butalb for migraines from your doctor and take one or two a couple days before the test. Apparently as long as the drug was prescribed by a doctor, the company that did the test doesn't really care if a person is doing drugs.

Congrats on the new job.

When they first came out with these tests the standard was 20ng. They decided that was too dang low, so now it is 50. I think you could probably get away with a couple of tokes on Friday night and probably pass for sure on Tuesday, maybe even Monday. Of course I am not going to push it. I plan on staying away from cannabis for at least the next few months. Find out for sure if they have random testing or just reasonable suspicion testing. A lot of big companies, Boeing for instance, tried random testing, but they had to stop because they kept losing some of there best employees. Most companies go with reasonable suspicion or after an accident. If you drive anything on the highway like a big truck or a bus, I'm sure they still have random. What they really need is an actual impairment test like the breathalyzer for alcohol. These non-impairment tests are BS. And you do know it doesn't even detect the actual THC, it detects an inert metabolite by-product that shows at some point in the indeterminate past you had it in your system. Pure police state BS. The so called "war on drugs" started this testing crap when they mandated that any company that does business with the federal government had to have some kind of drug testing policy in place.

When I went into the little infirmary, the guy administering the test told me to go in the bathroom and close the door but he will be listening closely. He made me empty my pockets. He told me not to flush the toilet after, or it would be a failed test. He said if I don't do it by the book, he would have to come in and observe me, which he definitely didn't want to do. In my opinion the timing of substituting a clean sample in this case would have been difficult. Plus I probably would have been nervous, which might have tipped him off. I did all the stuff like drinking lots of water and taking some vitamin pills to color my urine more yellow. I didn't want to cheat like that.

It is fat soluble, yes. that is why it stays in your system longer. it won't interact at all with any fat you eat. It goes from your bloodstream into your body fat.
