Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place to post but here it goes, My fiancé 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 don't 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 A lot and I mean A lot 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 won't 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 going to call him. If they do, all he's going to 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 don't know. 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.

Have him take it and at least try, it doesn't 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 can't do that. Good luck to him and you to you. But still tell him to still drink as much water as Posable!

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.

Depending on the metabolism, marijuana can stay in the system as long as 90 days.
Other people have asked this same, almost the same question, so there are many posts on pot+drug test. I suggest you look through them all.

An aside - why is a drug test such a bad thing? Do I want some person whose perception and mobility has been impaired by smoking pot servicing my truck or taking my blood at the clinic or driving a delivery truck? NO.

I've had the same problem before with my bets friend
And what she did is drink A LOT of water like 2/3 litters a day
And eat a LOT of yogurt

Drink anything that will flush out your system. What state do you live in?

Hello Foxy:

When I say that drinking water doesn't do any good, it's because the THC granules hide in the FATTY tissue of one's body. It's released into the bloodstream very slowly and at its own pace. Drinking water doesn't affect that release AT ALL.

Yes, it dilutes the urine, but not enough to hide any TCH that might be lurking.

I am not saying it is a bad thing, But a crackhead can pass a drug test because it does not stay in your system that long, My fiancé has quit smoking weed because he knows a job is more important (His last job he had for 4 years and did not need a drug test) But because it stays in your system so long he will not get a job, but if it was a month from now he would probably be OK, So what I am saying is it a good thing but what about people who are changing there lives around. They have to wait until there system is clean and give up many good job offers.

Sometimes, if you're honest, the employer will allow a retest in 30 days.

Actually he is taking the test today and he is going to tell them the situation that he did quit and he knows it will still show, they took the ad down for the job and said they really want him so hopefully honesty is the best policy in this case. I will give an update of what happens.

but what about people who are changing there lives around. they have to wait until there system is clean and give up many good job offers.Hello mom:

Let’s not get carried away here. Quitting pot for a few weeks to get a job is NOT changing one’s life around. Check back in a couple years and let me know what’s up.

Do I want some person whose perception and mobility has been impaired by smoking pot servicing my truck or taking my blood at the clinic or driving a delivery truck? NO.Hello shy:

The problem with drug testing for pot, is that it makes no distinction between those who ARE high, and those who GET high. In fact, it snares those who AREN’T “impaired” at all because they got high last night – not this morning. They’re just like any of the other workers who took a 6 pack home with them last night.

The second problem is your definition of impaired. Indeed, “impaired” by pot smoking is an oxymoron.

Getting high from smoking pot, is NOT the same as drunkenness – not even close. Most users are, in fact, perfectly capable of performing exactly as they would were they not high.

I don’t expect you to believe this, as it goes against the common wisdom. However, the common wisdom is wrong.

I am saying for anyone that is trying to change there life around, and he didn't quit just for the job but it was one reason. And for someone who smoked every other day, two weeks without is a good start

Hello Exon:

I understand that, I worked in a Lab for many years, all I am saying is that it wouldn't hurt to try to flush out his system as much as possiable.

Do they always test the temperature right away?

Yes there is a temp gage on the cup that he pee's into. No way of getting around that. Sometimes they even have to stay in the room with the people taking the drug test for security reasons, so they can't tamper with it you know? It all depends on the place that they take it.

Well He told the person he interviewed with the truth about him not smoking for two weeks, She said thank you for being honest and do not try to use any of that stuff from GNC to mask it, She said do not repeat this but use someone else's urine because you only get one shot, So he brought some in a bottle and put it in a cup of hot tea water from dunkin donuts to keep it warm, when the guy filled out the paper there was a question was the temp tested within 4 minutes and was it between 90 -100 he checked yes before he even gave him the pee, so he did what he had to do the guy labeled it, my fiancé initialed it and the guy put it in a bag on the shelf, Do you think he will be OK, he has not gotten the results yet. He did get a copy of the form sayingit was the right temp, So can it be changed after

Who's Pee did he use? IF the Temp was OK and the urine that he used was clean then he should be fine...

Whos Pee did he use? IF the Temp was ok and the urine that he used was clean then he should be fine.....


I know this is really sad but he used our 6 yr old sons. He just worried because the guy checked off the temp was OK and gave him a copy of the paper and said your all set, He did not see any temp strip on the cup

Whos Pee did he use? IF the Temp was ok and the urine that he used was clean then he should be fine.....

So my question really is If my fiancé has a copy saying the temp was OK, they can not change it later right.

Correct, tell him never to do that again! And stop smoking pot! Its not worth all the trouble that comes along with it!

Thank you, He will not do it again. I think God was on his side here We are having a really bad financial problem right now so he was desperate and I am sure he would not get away with it again.

I can't believe he got away with it this time. I mean I really hope he stays off that stuff, because 10 to 1 the company does ramdom drug test to all there employees. I guess I've just been lucky because I have never touched that stuff before... I just hope everything works out for you and your family...

Why do you say God was on his side, when God does not lie and does not decieve? And why would anyone want to work where they told you to use someone else's urine? That doesn't sound right at all. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when we first set out to deceive."

I am saying we are so broke right now and have three kids to feed so someone was on his side. God doesn't lie and decieve but he will forgive a murderer and child molester though right.

You could go to pipe shops and get READY CLEAN to wash it out of your system. It costs around 40 bucks and you drink it 5 hrs before you are taking the test and everything will be fine trust me I have used it before.. I live in California so I don't know if you have shops like that wherever you are from..

THe woman who told him to use someone else's urine said not to use anything like that stuff, because now somelabs test for it
