Drug test

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place to post but here it goes, My fiance has smoked weed for years a couple times a week, now he is looking for a new job so he quit smoking about 2 weeks ago because most jobs require a drug test. well he went to an interview yesterday and when he got home there was a message from the company, he called and they said they really like him and he has the job he just needs to go take a drug test, I know weed stays in your system for about 30 days, is there any way he could pass this test. He really needs this job.

Thanks in advance

Its hard to find away around things like that. THC is stored in your fat cells. I dont know what state you live in but i live in NYS and i know the test we have here test for all of the flushes, my only suggestion is to have him drink ALOT and i mean ALOT of water.

Hello mom:

14 days might be enough. If it isn't, have him wait a week and go looking again. If he got this offer so soon, he'll get another one soon too.

He has to go take the test tomorrow, he has been drinking water constantly since the job called him, Would it be a good idea to tell the job the truth that he did quit but the stuff stays in your system for a long time. Does anyone know if they report what drug or just that you failed.

Hello again, mom:

Water won't help. Only time will.

No, don't tell 'em. He wont get the job. What do you think they're screening him for anyway???? I'll tell you why: to weed out weed smokers!!!!

Report what to who????? They're not gonna call him. If they do, all he's gonna know is that he didn't get the job.

Does the company that takes the test report to the employer what drug was positive or do they just say they fail

Hello again, mom:

I would bet the testers tell the company exactly what drug was in his system. That's just a guess, but if I was paying for the test, I'd like to know the results.

They might tell you or they might not. I dunno. What difference does it make? If he doesn't get the job after the drug test, you'll KNOW why.

thank you excon and foxy, I guess he will take it and not get the job. he will probably have to wait about a month just to be sure. Drug testing is not fair it can ruin your chance for a good job even if you have quit.

Comments on this post
excon agrees: It can ruin a good job even if you HAVEN'T!

Have him take it and at least try, it doesnt hurt to try. The only thing is that he wount get the Job. Its not like they are going to go around and blur collor him and tell everyone in the area about it. They cant do that. Good luck to him and you to you. But still tell him to still drink as much water as Posable!

Comments on this post
excon agrees: drinking lots of water sure ain't gonna hurt.

The test screens for amounts of THC. Two weeks is not enough time for a chronic habitual user to have their levels drop. It can take up to 6 months for it to stop showing up in tests when you use regularly.

ttara81 disagrees: at one point in my life i was a chronic smoker...smoked everday for about 6 yrs..i quit and took a drug test for a job about 2 months later and it was clean...so i'm not so sure about the 6 month thing....
