Just be careful people of using anecdotal evidence to show that a method works.
I've known people to pass drug tests the day after smoking. Its luck, nothing else.

Correlation does not prove causation, and you should only believe a detox/metabolite blocker works if its been proven with at least a somewhat clinical approach (besides things like powdered urine, for obvious reasons, the efficacy of these methods is extremely hard to gauge without a proper procedure that will yield empirical data to be analyzed. anecdotes lack control groups and are inherently flawed).


I hope some of that made sense and people will consider that before believing every new pass a drug test method they see. Im not saying this one doesn't work, im just saying that skepticism is a useful tool.
