That's a big problem dude.. maybe you can test your self before going to be sure.

alfredjr18

Wait when did you last smoked? There are also lots of method on drug testing but in your case I think It would be blood drug test or maybe urine.. That would be the most possible in testing I've an article I think It relates in your problem

I'm looking for work so I stopped smoking until I get a job. Here's what I did.
1) I smoked really good bud, about 5-7 good hits a day-one hit kept me high for hours.
2)I'm a fat and lazy 220 ibs, in my 30's. I did NO exercise. I didn't even get up from the couch very much. I still ate fatty, drank a few beers a day, drank coffee, whatever.
3)DID NOT DRINK ANY EXTRA WATER OR USE ANY SUPPLEMENTS AT ALL.
4)Day of test drank about < liter of water and some diet soda. Urine was still yellow, no extreme flushing at all.
5)passed with no issues.
6)Total time 17 days but I'm sure I was clean a few days before that.
Hope that helps the fat and lazy potheads out there.

if your planning on using niacin to pass you shouldn't have smoked in the first place niacin makes you feel so horrible you sweat like crazy and your skin has a very odd bad feeling tingle to it i recomend just diluting your piss with water, gatorade, or liptons green tea, also getting cardio up alot and sweat to pass about 7-10 days before a urine test ive had 6 drug tests and failed 1 my first one then used this method and passed all my others.

JUST SMOKE K2, IT WON'T SHOW UP. AND IT GETS YOU HIGH.

I'll try to do this on my next urine test. Very informative thread by the way.

A urine test is probable in about a week to 10 days. I stopped smoking 5 day ago after using regularly about 3x a day for years. I'm old (65) over weight & don't have a high rate of metabolism. My dr. prescribed B12 & D (1000 units/da) Should I stop taking B12 & D? What about a diuretic like Furosemide 20mg? Should i be taking that or not, does it help or hinder? What drugs cause a false positive? What happens when you tell them in advance that you're taking a drug that produces a false positive?
I know lots of questions. I've read most of the posts on this forum and those have been helpful. The main thing is no smoking for as long as possible prior to the test. Hopefully, two weeks will be enough.

You said, "A urine test is probable in about a week to 10 days. I stopped smoking 5 day ago after using regularly about 3x a day for years. I'm old (65) over weight & don't have a high rate of metabolism."

THC is stored in the fat cells, so an overweight person likely has a lot of THC stored. If you exercise during the week of testing, it will release additional THC metabolites into the bloodstream, resulting in a positive test. The test looks for metabolites, and not THC itself. If you manage to talk them into believing you have a false positive, stall as long as you can. Then exercise like the dickens to get the metabolites out. Hopefully the furosemide will flush them away. Just stop exercising about a week before the test. I have been told you should eat a lot to try to accumulate additional fat during this time. It is supposed to bury the older fat cells containing THC. However, I have no scientific proof that this is true.

"My dr. prescribed B12 & D (1000 units/da) Should I stop taking B12 & D?"

Keep taking it.

"What about a diuretic like Furosemide 20mg? Should i be taking that or not, does it help or hinder?"

Keep taking it. It flushes your system out. It will also dilute the urine, which is to yor advantage.

"What drugs cause a false positive? What happens when you tell them in advance that you're taking a drug that produces a false positive?"
Dronabinol (Marinol)
Ibuprofen; (Advil, Nuprin, Motrin, Excedrin IB etc)
Ketoprofen (Orudis KT)
Kidney infection (Kidney disease, diabetes) Liver Disease
Naproxen (Aleve)
Promethazine (Phenergan, Promethegan)
Riboflavin (B2, Hempseed Oil)

You can try it. Just pick a non prescription drug that no one can verify. However, this may not be sufficient. You might try saying you also have a kidney infection, but this is verifiable.

In your situation, it may not be enough. Stall and delay as long as you can. Good luck to you.

onestar

Thanks for this info. It is very helpful. I have two weeks clean and will continue with that as long as possible, continue with the furosemide, B12, & D. + exercise as much as possible until i know the approximate date of the test (there might be a week lead time). I'll post a response when i know if this worked or now.
Hey, thanks for the reply !!

Xil

furosemide could show up as an adulterant and cause a positive, not sure. either way you dont want to be flushing when you take the test so i'd stop well in advance.

Furosemide is not usually included in the test. It is not a substance of abuse. You want the urine to be dilute. The more concentrated it is, the more likely you will have a positive result. The fact that onestar has used for many years means his cells are saturated with THC. The furosemide (aka Lasix) will help, not hurt.

Xil

thought i read somewhere that they test for things used to help pass drug tests, like prescription diuretics, but i may be wrong or that may be for different kinds of tests.

now that i think about it i am mistaken, as a diuretic will not push THC from your fat to your kidneys faster, it will instead move more water through your kidneys, washing out the THC thats already there..i guess theres no way to keep it in our kidneys. I was falsely thinking of this like exercise, but thats different because the burning of fat actually releases it into your blood stream.


my bad onestar, listen to nursem

I'm going to keep using a prescribed dose 20mg of lasix until right before the test, abstain from using until afterward, exercise as much as possible & drink as much water as possible.
~Thank you for your responses. The more information i have the better off i am with the management strategy. I'll let you know the results.

nursern

When you take the test they will ask you what prescription/non-prescription drugs you take regularly. Tell them your doctor has given you furosemide for years and that without it you fill up with fluid, go into congestive failure or whatever the reason is. Don't stop taking it before the test. You want the urine that they test to be as dilute as possible. They can't zing you for deliberately diluting the urine if you have a legitimate prescription for the furosemide.

Normally dilute urine is a very light color, whereas concentrated urine is darker. The B-vitamins that you also take will make the urine appear darker in color than it actually is related to using the diuretic. I expect they may test urine specific gravity and pH if they are suspicious, but the prescription furosemide will cover you.

As for fluids, there is a formula that is used to determine daily fluid needs according to weight. A 200 pound man needs a minimum of about 2727 ml of fluid per day. This is the equivalent of about 1-2/3 two liter pop bottles or 3 Big Gulp cups. Consuming way too much water can hurt you, so don't go way overboard.

onestar

More good info. I did know that too much water can be dangerous but the ratio you indicate is a good guideline for me.

This test will be a standard urine test but you're right they will check it for SG & pH. I have had a diagnosis of congestive heart failure & other conditions appropriate to the rx of lasix. Additionally, i have rx for other meds that they will ask about.

Potential employers can set whatever limitations or procedure on the results they want. It's their right. Our part is to be as prepared as possible.

oh, by the way. i do have a state & county issued medical marijuana card, however i will not reveal that unless its necessary.

Thanks for your help. I think others may get something out of this thread also.

nursern

Well, I made a mistake. It should be 1-2/3 two liter pop bottles, not 2-2/3. Multitasking. I’m so sorry.

Using the formula, example weights and fluid needs (assuming no medical fluid restrictions) are:
150 pounds = 2045 ml
176 pounds = 2400 ml
200 pounds = 2727 ml
225 pounds = 3068 ml
250 pounds = 3409 ml
275 pounds = 3750 ml
300 pounds = 4091 ml

oh, by the way. i do have a state & county issued medical marijuana card, however i will not reveal that unless its necessary.

A very wise position. You may be interested in this WalMart travesty. It is evident this man is wasting from his picture:

Also just so people know: not all drug testing uses the 50ppm cutoff. I recently came back positive for thc at ~20ppm. The test was done for legal reasons (not by a po though) and was sent to REDWOOD TOXICOLOGY in california. I reccomend finding out what place does your drug testing as it can actually vary what they test for (redwood toxicology, for instance, has the ability to test for mdpv, mephedrone, 2c-e and much more)
