Answer 1

Buy a box of suregel (the gelatin mix) the day before your test and drink it with a gallon of water to make sure. It's cheap and your not being dishonest cause you only did it that one time. It's only supposed to last in your system for 72 hours but who knows.

Good Luck!

The answer to this question is difficult, first off it depends on which method that drug test is going to be done with.

The way most of these tests work is your body stores the THC metabolites in the fatty tissue of the body, and slowly over a period of weeks to months slowly releases it. Meaning that if the drug test is sensitive enough it can detect lower levels, meaning even a single use several months ago.

Bad news, the way you body releases what most drug tests are looking for is fairly consistent over time with a very long decay rate.

Good news, most companies that use blood drug tests for employment aren't looking for a one time user, but rather someone who is a constaintly toking up.

I would emphasise that it all comes down to which testing method they are using as well as how sensitive the test is. I have experience running drug tests both urine and blood and most tetst are quantitative meaning they return a number value, not simply a yes or no, and you have to have a certain value or higher to come up positive. If I had to give you my gut answer I would say that you should be fine as long as you only smoked once and that you don't light up anymore in the future.

Only way to dilute you specimen is to drink massive amounts of water, which can have a small effect on your Hematacrit, meaning you will have a higher amount of the liquid part of your blood, the plasma, and if your body releases THC metabolites at a constant rate theroy would dictate that the same amount of THC being released into a large volume of fluid will have a diluting effect. Be careful though drinking too much water can induce a condition called hyponatrimeia (lack of elctrolytes in the blood)

Hope that helps!

Unless you've died and they're doing an autopsy on you, blood tests are not used as a drug screen. Your urine will be tested. If it has been two months, your urine will be clean.

Despite the claims that people make about using certain products to "flush" out THC, they just don't work. The reason for people "passing" urine tests is this, the level of THC in their urine is below the level of detectability. The lower the level, the greater chance of having a positive urine; the higher the level, you have a lower chance of getting caught.

Most urine testing today has a preliminary cutoff of 50ng/ml. Urines that are positive are tested a second time with a more accurate test, usually 15ng/ml.

The three most common ways to alter urine is by adulteration, substitution and dilution. Labs have become very sophisticated and are aware of the many ways that people try to beat urine tests. THC is fat soluble, and it gets stored in your fat cells. Cleaning it out of your lipid tissue is very difficult. Many herbal products claim to clean out your system, yet they do nothing to remove THC byproducts from fat cells. A study was done in Germany in 1993 on 50 of the most common herbs used by people trying to pass the test. All 50 herbs failed to cause a negative. Unfortunately, this rumor will not die. Goldenseal (plant) is useless; yet it's the most common thing for people to use.

THC in marijuana is rapidly absorbed by fatty tissues in various organs. Generally, traces (metabolites) of THC can be detected by standard urine testing methods several days after a smoking session. However, in chronic heavy users, traces can sometimes be detected for weeks after they have stopped using marijuana.

THC detectability in urine by standard testing:

Light smoker or single use - up to 3 days
Moderate use (4 x week) - 4 - 5 days
Heavy use (daily) - 10 days
Chronic heavy use - 20 - 28 days (some tests up to 36 days)

Bottom line, time is the key.

Employers are not allowed blood tests for drug testing. If you are worried about a urine test stop worrying the drop off level of the test would be of a much higher concentration level than anything you would have left in your urine. If the cost was not so prohibitive employers could tell everything you have ever done since you were born from a simple urine test. That is why cut off levels. None of the so called system cleaners work.

Answer 5

30 days for thc to be out of the system. Drinking heavy amounts of water will help, especially after the 1 month time frame.

Answer 6

Judging by your smoking experience you'll need about a month to flush it clean. Just drink loads of water and OJ.

Answer 7

Nicotine can be detected in a blood or urine test up to 30 days after the last dose.

Answer 8

no, usually only in your system at the most 2 weeks. If you are nervous and there is a smoothie king around, go buy "the liquid stuff".

Answer 9

what did you smoke?
marijuana will show up in your blood for 6 months... but in trace amounts after something like 5 weeks.
cigarette wont show, and who cares anyway?

If they use a hair sample which many places are using now, it will show until your hair grows out and that part gets cut away.
