Blood Drug Testing

How accurate is a THC home drug test?

I took a marijuana test yesterday and it was negative...I got a pink line, not a red one. I smoked weed 5 days ago and I am an occasional smoker. I am worried...I need to take a drug test in 2 and half weeks. if I am not clean...what should I do to clean my system. thanks. No judgmental comments please: if you don't like that I smoke weed keep it to yourself.

1. run. i think it helps get rid of it.
2. Lots of water. Lots of pee. If necessary vomiting.
3. Fuck`yo couch
4. i had the same problem. i ate a lot of greasy food until my drug test day and i can out negative. sounds weird but i think it'll help. :)
5. I don't know how accurate is. You can do something crazy my friend did the week before drug tests. Go on a 5 day detox diet. It tastes disgusting, leaves you starving for the day, and requires that you drink an ungodly amount of water. It shouldn't be hard to find. Just search 5 day detox on google.
6. They're actually really accurate. Like home pregnancy tests are really accurate too. Drink a lot of water to help clean out the system and stay off of drugs the 2.5 weeks of course. If it's a urine test you should be fine by then.
7. There's a simple vitamin complex available at most head shops that is pretty reliable. I've known cops and nurses who use it. It doesn't appear as a blocker, but it's only effective for a 4 hour window... which is perfect if you know when you'll be tested (costs about $40.00). If you DON'T know when you'll be tested, cranberry and pickle juice works... I don't know how, but it does. You got to drink a lot though. Go buy the pills... they are well worth the money because they work.
8. First off, don't smoke until your test (obviously). Second, it depends on what kind of test is used. Testing hair, for example, can give a much longer-term history than testing fluids. If you really want to "clean your system", the best thing would be to simply drink lots of fluid and get your vitamins and whatnot. The water will help your kidneys get rid of a lot of stuff (more water = lower osmotic pressure = better filtering), and the vitamins are a general boost. Exercise as well will help purge a lot. If it's really serious, temporary fasting might also be effective, but I don't recommend this in general. Don't worry, I'm not judgemental. I don't do anything myself, but I have a few friends that do a little.
9. Is the drug test you are taking a urine test or hair test? Urine test can detect for about 30 days while a hair test detects for 6 months or more, There are products you can buy over the internet that may help you pass test google "drug Test facts"
10. Home tests are there to make money off of people in your situation. If you are an occasional smoker, have 2.5 weeks till a test, and last smoked 5 days ago, then that puts you a little over 3 weeks and (provided you don't smoke again( your chances aren't bad for a pass. Drug tests are based off of a PPM (parts per million) scale and you need a certain level to 'pop' on the test. Your best bet it to drink a lot of water until you're pissing clear before the test. This is technically considered a flush, because you are over hydrating and your body is expelling the water faster than the waste. This can come up two ways in a test: 1. your employer, like most, just wants to have 'drug free' on their door and doesn't opt to retest flushes, or 2 they say you drank too much, you apologize and you've bought yourself enough time to give an honest sample. Your best bet is, of course, to quit for a bit since you're obviously looking to work at a clean place.
11. a pink line is positive. if a red line is a positive then any semblance of a line is a positive. no matter what people say, there is nothing that will clean your system faster than drinking a lot of water (not TOO Much, obviously) exercise may help. one thing that doesn't work is that niacin! do not take too much of that, and not because its uncomfortable (which is REALLY is) but because its pretty dangerous to take too much niacin at once. those drinks you buy at head shops do not work. your best bet if you can't pee clean or get clean pee is to get fake pee from a head shop. good luck
12. You will most likely pass anyways. But they aren't too accurate. #1 They are not very accurate because they will pass for dilution. THC is fat soluble. That means it stays in your fat cells. The type of tests that most labs use is 5 panel drug tests (the same type of test as a home drug test), and they do not actually look for THC, they look for fat metabolites in your urine. These metabolites won't show up if someone's urine is mostly water. This is what dilution is, when you drink so much water that your urine is basically water and there is no fat metabolites in it. A 5 panel drug test at a lab will fail you or make you retest if your urine is too diluted, however a drug test at home will not, it will show it as passing. So home drug tests are not very accurate since they can be diluted and the person will pass a drug test if its diluted. #2. Since THC stays in your fat cells, how much you weigh and how much you smoked depends on how long it stays in your system. If you only smoked once and have 2 weeks, chances are, you will pass the lab test. THC stays in the system anywhere between 3 days and up to 30 days. Don't take my word for it, Labcorp, the people who test, are the ones who have published this report. But I've passed in as little as 4 days from the last time I smoked, however I'm 6"4 and 160 pounds, so I have a very fast metabolism which helps. What you will want to do is fast. Try not to eat much from now until then. When you burn fat cells, the thc metabolites will be released sooner and your fat cells will become clean sooner. Eat low fat foods and exercise/sweat/do whatever to burn fat. Drink lots of water because it helps metabolize things faster, and drink cranberry juice to help clean you urinary tract since those metabolites cling to the urinary tract as well. On the day of the test, urine many times before you go in to take the test. Drink plenty of water but not so much that your urine isnt yellow, then it will be diluted and thats not good. 1 hour before the test, pour sugar into a glass of water, or drink kool aid or something that has a lot of sugar in it. This will cause your fat cells to stop metabolizing for about 40 minutes, so when you urinate, any dirty fat metabolites left in your body will not be released into your urine immediately. Your fat cells metabolize when they don't have any sugar to feed off. Its good to metabolize days before the test, but on the day of the test is when you don't want to.
