Please Advise - BigBoy, how long?

[BigBoy]

Here are the details.........

260 pounds

Smoked 2 or 3 grams per day for many years

Have currently stopped smoking and plan to never start again.

But I just recently quit.

Have drug test on my 26th day of being clean. What I am doing to clean myself...........

- drinking half gallon of cranberry juice per day
- drinking one full can of tomato juice per day (probably half gallon)
- taking MegaT Green Tea tablets twice per day
- also doing light exercise daily (about one mile walk)

Do you think I will pass on my 27th day of cleanness after having smoked 2 or 3 grams per day for years? Please keep in mind all the things I am doing to detox/clean myself before then.

Also, I have purchased a bottle of Strip NC from GNC. Will I be clean enough for a lab test (not a dip-stick test) to not use this Strip NC? Or would I be better off to use it the day of the test.

Anyone know if labs test for the Strip NC, or know how well the Strip works?

I'm told the tomato juice is a natural anti-oxident and that it would help rid my system of the thc. I'm also drinking all the pickle juice in the house.

none at all

Will water today help with a test 20+ days from now? It is my understanding that water only works in the final days before the test and that all water is doing is diluting the sample. I'm not trying to dilute, I'm just trying to get clean and remain clean.

Also, is it the same to drink a gallon of tea and count that as a gallon of water? Since it takes 1 gallon of water to make a gallon of tea, is that not the same as drinking a gallon of water?

Also, are there any benefits of drinking tea to help rid my body of thc? I know green tea helps, and I've heard others say herbal tea. But what about just plain tea like everyone drinks?

yes, i would think so*(drinking a gallon of tea is not the same as drinking a gallon of water)?

26 days if you keep up with the de tox i think you should be okay, just keep in mind i'm no chemist and it's been awhile since i've had to take a test

[Mikey]

but seriously dude.
mad water.
like now.
asap.

[BigBoy]

Water it will be. I will start the water immediately.

Another question. The cranberry juice I have been drinking is only 28 percent cranberry juice. It also has apple and grape juice in it. It is 100 percent juice, just not 100 percent cranberry. Will this work, or do I need to find 100 percent cranberry juice?

Where I live, I have checked the Super Wal-Mart and cannot find 100 percent cranberry juice. I assume they would for sure make it, but I've yet to find it.

check the sugar content, what you dont want is a cocktail(juice with sugar added)

go to your health center store and get some bentonite. fucking great stuff, i doubt you can find a substance on the planet that will soak up more toxins from your body than this. basically, its clay. in your body, it acts like a sponge.

you could cut back on the tomato juice to one or two cans of v8 per day, any more than that is wasted excess.

sweat it out! if you have access to a sauna, sit in there for a couple/few sessions per day.

if you live in a big city you can usually find a vegan store that has all natural juices. the 28% juice does some good, but works only a third as well as 100%. and be sure to be taking vitamins, you dont want your system to be obviously overly diluted on the test results.

[Snake-Eyes]

that's a lot of fucking juice which has a fuck load of calories which really isn't good for you if you aren't a relatively active person... you could just replace all that shit with water and maybe one cup of each per day that would be fine... your chances of passing are very good, just remember to flush a bit before the test.

[BigBoy]

Thanks everyone for your advice. I am following the advice I am getting on here. I am cutting the tomato juice completely once what I have now is gone.

As for the high calories, I've pretty much been on a juice diet for the last week. Since stopping smoking, I have absolutely no appetite and feel downright sick all the time.

[BigBoy]

I've read on here that people are taking aspirin on the way to take their test. Can someone tell me what purpose the aspirin serves?

[tokinGLX]

no need to fuck with asprin if you follow a proper detox regiment. when exactly is the test? if you have no appetite and are feeling sick, just start easy, and always eat healthy, stay away from unnatural fatty foods.

not sure about the content of the green tea tablets, but i would suggest actual green tea. its probably not as expensive, and 2-4 cups a day of that is also 2-4 cups of water. win/win.

and heres another tip/trick
after a detox period, wake up early the morning of the test, and go eat as fatty of a breakfast as you can find. load up. seriously. because you have cleaned out your system, this fresh influx of the fatty foods will act as a fresh layer that masks any excretion of thc for short periods of time. wait a few, drink a few good cups of water, piss a couple times, and go take the test.

[BigBoy]

Tokin,
I'd rather not disclose when the test is, just in case someone from this new job is looking in on this site. I know it's not likely, but you never know.

But I've still got somewhere around 20-25 days. I will for sure have at the very least 27 days clean before I go for the test.

But please understand that this is a job I cannot take a chance on. Not that the job means that much to me, but if I fail this drug test, it will ruin me for life in our town. Everyone in my family will know I failed this test, if I fail it. I'm in no position to be taking chances.

They actually wanted me to test the first day I went in for an interview. But I was able to put them off for nearly a month by telling them I had to give a two week notice to my current employer, and then am scheduled for a one-week break for a vacation I already had planned months ago. It was a lie, but it worked.

I will for sure come back here and post my results once I do take the test.

[BigBoy]

I have another question that hopefully you guys/gals can help me with.

Any idea what it costs to go and have yourself drug tested at one of these labs? I'm willing to pay for a test on myself a day or two before I have to take the test for my new job. I think if I pay for the test, and test clean, then I will feel much better about taking the test for the job.

To be honest with you, I have doubts about me being able to pass this test in only 30 days with the amount I have smoked in recent years. There were many days when I would never lay the pipe down. Without doubt, I've averaged 2 to 3 grams per day for a few years now. And I'm fairly overweight at 260 - 270 pounds, which would put me at at least 40-50 pounds overweight. My normal weight, according to the Marines whe I was in the armed forces, is 220.

Also note that I've not been very active in recent years, spending most of my time in a chair in front of a computer. The most exercise I've had in the last 4 years has been the one or two times per month my wife allows me to have sex

Anyone know what type of money it will costs me to go and have myself tested? This is a normal drug testing office where they are fairly sophisticated. I've never had to take a drug test, but I know the routine at this place. They make you piss and then they send it off to the lab. Results are back in 24-48 hours at the most.

Any help on this question is appreciated.

[BigBoy]

I have already purchased a bottle of Strip NC from GNC. I lost my receipt, so I cannot return it. So I will most likely use this the day of my test. Is that a smart thing to do?

Or should I take this back to GNC and trade it in for a 7-day detox kit? I know they do not work 100 percent, but if I do a 7-day detox kit now, and then still have a good 14 days or so left before I take my test, will it help me?

Again, I'm worried that I cannot pass in 30 days because I am very overweight and I've read many, many, many places that in overweight people it can take up to 45-60 days to pass the test without help from a coverup or dilute.

Thoughts?

[tokinGLX]

doing what i have advised, in addition to using a headshop detox drink the morning of, my girlfriend passed a drug test(u/a) with 2 and a half days of detoxing.

everything i said is important to do. if you have 20+ days, passing the test will not be a problem. when you get thirsty, drink water. sweat as much as you possibly can. you having a higher fat content than normal makes this especially imperative.

[yungsmoke]

I wouldn't take any type of detox drink or bring in synthetic urine. That heightens the risk on top of the stress you're already enduring from the pending drug screening. And for the record, water will not work unless you're a day or so from the screening. Get yourself a bottle of Ginseng, Golden Seal Root, and Cranberry juice. Exercise and plenty of fluids as well. Ginseng creates energy for exercising, Golden Seal Root increases metabolic rates which in turn provides an internal-burning of the THC in your fat cells, and cranberry is a natural anti-oxidant.

Good luck.

[BigBoy]

I think I'm still going to go in and have them drug test me and pay for it out of my pocket. Once I see I can legally pass the test, then I will go take one for this job.

Anyone know what one of these test may cost?

I'm not trying to put anyone down for smoking. I'm only 36 and I've been smoking steady for 23 years. I love it. But, I'm done with it. I will not go back to smoking. Not because of the job, but because I'm just ready to give it up.

Plus, I've been spending $100+ per week on weed for many, many years. The money I save from quitting is liking having a second job.

Plus, after that many years of smoking heavy, I can definetly tell it has taken a toll on my body.
