Sooo... I smoked some marijuana... about an eight... two weeks ago... before that I was clean.. now today I had to do a drug test.... I don't think I have to worry... (I am not a druggie.. I was out celebrating my brothers birthday and I was drunk and it just happened) Now... my question is.. do you (honestly) think I will be ok? I did drink two bottles of cranberry juice and alot of water during the two weeks before my test because I don't normally smoke and I know I do get randoms @ work... Now, please I am already freaking out, please answer this honestly! Yes I did make a mistake and I know that and I don't plan on having any more.... My urine was clear.. no yellow at all .... would you worry??? Thanks all!

I don't think you will be "OK" until you deal with why, knowing you get random drug tests, you went ahead and smoked dope!
It depends on the sensitivity of the test and even whether you've been hanging around people smoking marijuana even if you didn't actually put any directly into your body.
If the test is questionable or positive, the next move may be a hair test, and if so, you are going to be found out.
One thing you might consider to save your job is a little honesty. If you have an EAP (employee assistance program) you may be able to see a counsellor and see if you can voluntarily seek treatment for substance abuse to try to save your job. If you are in a union, there may be counselling available.
As for the cranberry juice, it's healthy and has many benefits but it won't erase drug use, and your urine being clear only means you are well hydrated. Clear urine can still test positive for nearly anything.THC is colorless.
If your job survives this, you really need to seriously consider what is wrong in your life that would lead you to take such a dangerous chance with your future. I'm not trying to be mean, but smoking dope when you know you are subject to testing is self-destructive behavior. It may be that you have impulse control problems and just went for getting high, or you may have so poor a self-image that your job was less important that trying to be "cool" with your friends and acquaintances. Good luck sortiing it out.

From what I heard, drinking cranberry juice probably won't help. Also the color has nothing to do with it at all. It doesn't sound too good--but this was two weeks ago. I have no idea how long it takes to get out of your system, so I'd be a little worried. Just don't try that again. If you pass, don't think it can't happen again. If you don't pass, I guess you learned your lesson.

Dont worry. I have takendrug tests the day AFTER smoking. If you test positive demand a retest, saying you dont smoke weed so its impossible for you to test positive. Drink alot of water in the meantime, and youll pass the test easy.
As long as its a pee test. If its a hair or blood test youre caught.
And if this is for a job where you know the boss personally, tell him this," I would NEVER come to work high or do it at work, but what I do on my own time AFTER work is my business. "
That worked for me more than once.
lastly, dont smoke it anymore. Weed isnt a terrible thing but it makes you complacent as hell. You wont want to accomplish anything and youll become just another loser pothead.

It won't matter what color your urine is. THC (the drug in marijuana) stays in your system for 30 days (give or take one or two). Cranberry juice, pickle juice or other remedies won't work. I'd worry.

After running the drug testing program for 3+ years, heres my take: I really dont think you have to sweat it. 1 night plus a full flush shoulf take care of it. I can't however be sure. It would depend on your body's metabolism and the type of test(s) they run. Good Luck Man.

I believe that THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, can stay in your system up to 6 weeks. You may have a problem.

if you only smoked the amount you said i wouldnt worry, but dope only causes problems in one way or the orther, so i would let this bad experence make me stop and think about the sorrow drugs can cause you are lucky this time by only worring about the test,drugs brings many more heartaches alot worse than you experenced this time.

well, ....you might have to worry a little bit, weed can stay in your system for up to 6 weeks, but, if you haven't smoked since then , it will show up like a trace amount, or it might not show up at all, i think it might show up, as a trace amount.
