My last job drug test suprisingly to me revealed that I had THC in my system. I thought I was good because I had quit smoking and added more exercise to my daily routine but I guess it wasn't enough to remove at least twice a day for years of THC out of my system. Fortunately I have another interview coming up and I've quit for a month so far and still have some more time left but I don't want ot take any chaces this time.

Well, it's great that you quit. It's bad for men because it causes a drop in testosterone and sometimes help to grow man-boobs.
The best thing to do at this point would be to take the piss test and if they say it came up dirty, tell them that you have been clean for a month and that you have changed your lifestyle in this time.
A friend of mine who smokes recreationally was asked to take a pre-employment piss test and she said, "Well it will show up dirty, I smoke recreationally on my time off of work. It does not affect my ability to do my job, and I have no intention of quitting nor do I have any intention of going on to use stronger drugs. I like smoking pot." They still offered her the job because they saw that she was honest. Now, that happened a good 14 years ago, so the attitudes might be stricter now. I don't know. But I do know that honesty is a huge asset in the workplace today after Enron and other such business. Use it to your advantage.
Good luck with continued non-use and with the job hunt.
Life isn't so bad through clear eyes.
Peace.

Congradulations!!On your New life!! THC is a gateway drug and I know you don't want to hear that,but I can tell you from personal exp. that it is the truth.Even if you found a way that does not grant you a green lite to continue I hope.THC is mentally addictive.We actually have a MA fellowship.Marijauana Anonymous.And most who go "think" they can use in moderation.But always end up in foul shape,with the law,or in jail,or in a treatment center.Then a job won't do them any good.But anyway I will tell you since you did read all that to get this,Omniclean,at the health food store,$14.00,a bottle.PEACE and Glad you are on the right track!!!!

There is a lot of urban lore out there involving diuretics, goldenseal, activated carbon pills and diuretics.
The urine test is inaccurate, and can be misled, and it can also give false positives. If you want to be rigorous, explain that you have a condition to your employer, and offer to pay the difference for the thousands of times more accurate blood test instead. That will be able to tell if you smoked it or your neighbor did. It will tell how long ago it was. Its a very good test.
If you are lying, and its you smoking it.. all the goldenseal, exercise, and diuretics in the universe isnt going to keep them from detecting it.

it bothers me to hear pot is a gateway drug. seems to be said, more often than not, by people who have never done it and/or read too much into the say no to drug ads in school. ... its hard to flush thc out of your system because it gets in your fat. so water flushing (drink a butt load dude) and excersize (run your *** off) quickens it out. ... of course, do not run a day or two before the test. dont want it lurking around ... when you pee in the cup dont catch the first blast, pee a lil then catch mid stream. less toxins. ... "general" time is a month. guesstimate by how much fat you have on your body, the more fat, the more time it takes. i'd never relly on cleansing drinks, but you can get an at home test for like 3 bucks. got mine offline

cranberry juice doesnt work. learned the hard way. ive read that thc can stay in your system for up to 3 months in some cases. just be lucky you are getting the pee test. a hair test can tell exactly what youve done for years. i recommend looking for a job thats not gonna bottle you if you want to keep smoking weed. good luck!!!!!!

They have pure cranberry juice at Trader Joe's. Just drink that and keep excercising.
Congrats on turning around your life. Keep it recreational once you get the job.

Noni juice. Although straight noni juice can be pretty strong, I suggest mixing it with grape or cranberry juice.
