Passing a hair folicle drug test

I had last smoked the day before I found out about the test (the 16th), I would say that averaged out, I smoke a little less than every other day.

I have a really really fast metabolism, and very low body fat, I'm 6'1" and 150lbs. If I just pound water and take vitamin B, how worried do you think I should be about passing this test? I'll have had 2.5 weeks between my last time smoking and taking the test.

It's too late to exercise now. You want to normally exercise your ass off every day like crazy until about a week before the test, then stop completely. Exercising burns the fat that holds the thc cells and you piss that out. You want to stop exercising a little before your test because you want to stop sending that thc to your urine

Drink a decent amount of water before the test, enough to dilute it but not enough to fail for dilution, take a multivitamin (b) for color, and when you piss in the cup, use the middle of the stream. Pee a little into the toilet, then into the cup, then finish it off into the toilet. The highest thc content is in the beginning and end of the stream. Or so I read.

These are all things I read about 7 years ago when i was 16 and had to pass a surprise drug test very shortly after smoking (though I never ended up having to take it). I spent a ton of time reading about it.

You do realize that if you test positive for illegal substances that the testing agency can call the cops on you, right? =P Not saying that they will, but if you've done more than pot, you may want to skip the test.

Are you joking?

It isn't likely, but it is possible, based on the state where you live.

Also, one thing to keep in mind. If you fail the drug test and the company doesn't hire you, it is *very likely* that the company will put a note in your file saying that you are not to be hired if you ever apply at a future date. Similar to what happens if you are ever fired from a company.

Granted, not taking the test may earn you the same "do not hire" treatment, so it's likely that you've just blown your chances with that company. Permanently.

Got a link to a drug testing place calling and releasing medical information to the police without a request?

I'm not your personal research assistant. Here is a list of states and laws concerning drug testing.

About.com: http://said.dol.gov/StateLawList.asp

Here is a site dedicated to drug tests.

drugtestingnews.com - Home

And in the event that I'm mistaken, which is entirely possible because I said that they "can call" and "may", neither of which mean "will call", would you risk it for a simple internship? =P

Ya i tried to find some shred of evidence to support your claims. It doesn't exist. They cant and wont.


US Supreme Court Strikes Down Hospital Practice
of Giving Drug Test Results To Police Without Patient Consent

In each of those cases, we employed a balancing test that weighed the intrusion on the individual's interest in privacy against the "special needs" that supported the program. As an initial matter, we note that the invasion of privacy in this case is far more substantial than in those cases. In the previous four cases, there was no misunderstanding about the purpose of the test or the potential use of the test results, and there were protections against the dissemination of the results to third parties. The use of an adverse test result to disqualify one from eligibility for a particular benefit, such as a promotion or an opportunity to participate in an extracurricular activity, involves a less serious intrusion on privacy than the unauthorized dissemination of such results to third parties. The reasonable expectation of privacy enjoyed by the typical patient undergoing diagnostic tests in a hospital is that the results of those tests will not be shared with nonmedical personnel without her consent. In none of our prior cases was there any intrusion upon that kind of expectation.

So evidently Hospital Drug Test <> Voluntary Drug test for employment.

uhh no? not unless when you go in for the test they make you aware that theyre going to turn over evidence to authorities in the case of a negative and fully aprise you of your legal rights.

samples of bodily fluids drawn/taken without permission outside of the context of a warrant, or an exception to the warrant requirement (none of which apply here), an arrest, or without informing the party of intent to turn those samples over to authorities, constitute illegal search and seizures. If my memory hasnt totally shit the bed on this the case is ACLU v. Reno? Maybe that was internets something.

sure they could turn it over to the cops. and then the DA will never prosecute you b/c they know even a PD half asleep and hungover will get the case dismissed in about 5 seconds.

Edit: ACLU v. Reno was internets something. I'll try to find the case because I remember learning it around the same time for some reason for some other principle.

i was going to leave this abortion of a thread buried, but after reading some of your comments to me before the rep system nerf (gay btw) i figured i'd dig it up and piss all over your ugly faces. also, i'd like to share my secrets with the rest of the posters here who aren't total squares.

much like i boldly predicted i passed the drug test. it wasn't easy though, not by any means. lucky for me while the rest of you jerked each other off about how silly i am there was a lurker kind enough to send me some information about beating these things.

the key was bleaching my hair and redyeing it a few times. i don't know if you've ever bleached your hair 3 times in the span of a couple of days but let me tell ya it ain't fun. additionally i got some hardcore clarifying shampoo and used a ton of that shit. i also did something called the "macuj0" (google it) method once which was rather unpleasant.

anyway i took the test passed no problems no questions asked. for the record, i did not actually see the results they go straight to the employer so either it came up clean or they decided that they didn't give a fuck, i would guess the former.

anyway, i'll just skip the part where i mock all of you for being self-righteous, naive, unintelligent, pompous dick riders and gloat about how i am a total bad ass / genius hybrid, kind of like if you fused together tony stark and patrick swayze in road house. i'll just skip all of that though cause that would just be stating the obvious.

anyway internship starts monday. it's shaping up to be a great summer.

I'd give you another +1 but it won't let me. Screw the haters!

Youll be fired in a month.

FUCK! i'm by no means a big drug user, or even a moderate one, but i have smoked weed a few times in the last few months and did a few lines of blow last week in AC.

Jesus, only a few lines of blow? You must have a large vagina

Seriously, if you want to get serious about your career, lose the drugs. If not, by all means continue.

Edit: Just FYI, I dont have to do shit to pass a drug test. I dont have to dye my hair, spend 300 bucks, worry about it, at all. But yeah, gratz on passing anywho. I still suggest you pass on the drugs from now on if you are really serious about having any sort of career. You have to work your way to the top, THEN start doing blow regularly. When you are on top, you make the rules.
