I am being drug tested on tuesday (at a lab). I smoked (marijuana) 8 days ago from today. I weigh about 120 and i'm 5'3". I have also not been eating as much because i am taking a new ADD medication (im not sure if that makes any difference). I used to be a frequent user but over the past few months i didn't smoke as often, only 1 to 2 times per week. Also when i did smoke 8 days ago i only smoked one gram. i recently have been drinking excessive amounts of cranberry juice and peeing as much as possible. I also went out and bought QCarbo (a detox drink) that i plan on taking a few hours before the test. I took a home test today to check my own levels (i used readicup) and i tested negative for everything but theres a faint pink line next to THC. i looked it up online and most sites say that it still counts as a negative result so i shouldn't worry. Does anybody have personal experiences that could help me out. Im VERY worried because i really need this job. If you're going to lecture me don't waste your time answerring this question. Smoking is part of my lifestyle i just need to know how to pass this drug test.
One day you'll be given the same test supposedly at random and get caught. Have you thought about that and the consequences? Employers may state that tests are random of prospective employees or current. That's not entirely true.
In the event they want to hire you they've probably been put off by something. If in current employ they may see sudden poor performance or strange behavior as cause to test you repeatedly let alone at all.
Is the gram you smoked 8 days ago worth losing your livelihood and reputation? You can bet if let go for drugs that every prospective employer can and will find out about this by checking into your background. It doesn't sound worth it.
There's no known way to beat a drug test. Like the previous poster said you're pretty much screwed and at the mercy of whatever that test reads out.
Maybe this will give you pause about whether your lifestyle can really screw you royally no matter when and how little you indulge(d). There's no benefit to smoking pot here.
Believe me it's not wasting my time by addressing this. You may not get it but someone else needing the same answer will. It's time for you to wake up. This habit's not working for you. Look at what it's making you resort to with your body in perhaps a futile attempt not to get caught and be fired. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

IT DOESNT WORK AND ITS VERY DANGEROUS. what i would do if i were you is just drink a lot of sunnyD and cranberry juice and hope for the best. i dont know anything about the detox drinks, but i've heard they dont work. again, i would just hope for the best.
but just for future reference, if i knew that i was going to try to get a job soon, i wouldnt have smoked. if you fail this, next time, stay clean for at least a month before the piss test.
i really hope it works out, and sorry i couldn't have been of any more help :
