Someone assess my situation and help please???

[Soot45]

Ok, I have to get a job soon or I will get kicked out of my house. I have a friend who is setting me up with a job at Sears hardware moving crates and appliances.


Now, I was an occasional smoker, smoking about 2 times a month for most of 2007. I quit smoking all together for about a month, then friday I ran into some heavy shit and buckled to the blunt. I smoked a blunt friday night, saturday night, and last night.



Lucky for me, Im not on probation or anything, I just need this job. The thing is, I need it SOON so I kind of need to apply and take the test within the next two weeks. I have a couple of questions:

1) If I drink lots of fluids and whatnot for about a week and a half, will I be straight on the test? Or do I still need to do the heavy flushing the day before/of??


2) Is the day-before flushing necessary if I have like a week and a half to slowly drink water??


3) How are my chances considering my body type: Im about 6' even and a little hefty at around 205 lbs. I read a lot of posts about THC in your fat....is my fatty lifestyle going to end up screwing me??



Please help. Im getting pretty nervous about my situation.

Abstain as long as possible like 5 days. Drink lots of water and vitamin B on the day of test and collect pee mid stream only , otherwise your wasting your time.

It doesn't sound like you're pressed for time. I would procrastinate as much as possible with the first thing to do is probably to hold off smoking for a few weeks. Exercise, diet, and drink plenty of fluids will set you straight for a week. Do push-ups, sit-ups, and run a little bit everyday. This probably isn't routine for you, but it's only for a week or so.

After this test yourself after the week with an At-Home test kit from Walgreens or wherever for approximately $15. If you screen negative, then apply. Meanwhile, start applying to places and give them a start date of around a week or so. Don't rely on Sears. Good luck bro and keep us updated.

Well, Im pressed in that I need it soon or I have to catch hell from my parents.

If I just drink lots of fluids between now and when I apply, I should be straight? Like, I dont have to do the cleansing or anything if I wait a good 2 weeks right?

Just follow a simple diet and fluid-intake procedure. You know your body better than anyone else.

Thanks for the advice, I guess Im just looking for confidence/ assurance. Im not going to smoke between now and the time I apply/take the test.


I just want to know if I have good chances of passing if I drink plenty of fluids for a week and a half and still do the flushing technique....I should be golden....right?

Drinking a bunch of fluids leading up to the test doesn't really do shit. All the excessive fluids do is dilute your piss. They don't flush anything out of your system.


Dilution aka Water Loading

So THC just stays in your body forever? I mean, I've heard of medical examiners doing spinal taps and being able to conclude every foreign substance that ever entered a person's body...is that true?


I mean, realistically, in aboutg 2 weeks time, if I excersize and diet....I can possibly get a clean piss test?

[yungsmoke]

With your smoking pattern, yes. THC is retained in the fat cells thus why it's somewhat difficult to get rid of and it takes a little longer to naturally dissipate. Dieting and exercising eliminates the fatty cells that have attached to recent fat cells, and the urinary process is sped up.

do you know if sears does the mouth swab or piss test if its the swab people can pass after three days
the kroger by my house does the swab so im guessing they all do so if sears doesnt work out theres kroger
