Blood Drug Testing

I took a home drug test?

I have to take a drug test for my new job. I haven't smoked anything in two weeks from this Friday. I have been drinking water and yogi detox tea. I'm a smoker that smoked pot everyday but only about 4 hits a day. I bought a home drug test kit today and took it. My pee in cup was yellow and not clear. If it was clear indicating lots of water, right? The test came back negative. The one line was faint but it was definetly there. My question is am I good? Thanks everyone

1. 1] THC is detectable in urine for 30 to 60 days, depending on how much/how often you smoke 2] you cannot drink, sweat, exercise, 'detox', or flush it out - only time does that 3] home tests are rarely as accurate as employee drug tests
2. Just about everything nurse susan wrote is wrong. Although its true that some test positive 30-60 days out, most DO NOT test positive more than 30 days out. In fact many don't test positive more than a few weeks out. Looking at the bell curve on any marijuana study will show you that. Second home drug test kits are just as good at detecting drug metabolites in urine. Too many wrongly look at labs ability to detect tampered samples as the measuring guide to claiming labs are superior. But for checking levels pound for pound a home test kit is just as good. Where some foul up is when they dilute their home sample and then fail days later at lab. But that is not the fault of home test kit, its the user who diluted the home kit thus causing a false reading. Working out: BIG EFFECT. (It has been shown repeatedly that high levels of exercise will speed up ones metabolism and expel THC metabolites from fat cells at accelerated rate. The key is to stop exercising a week before urine test; it's better to leave remaining THC metabolites locked in fat cells than risk having them end up in urine sample.) Metabolism: BIG, BIG EFFECT (It has been proven over and over again, the faster your metabolism, the faster the remaining THC metabolites will be expelled from your body. A fat person with slow metabolism can expect 2x to 10x as long to drop THC metabolites below detectable levels. In scientific terms; that's a significant difference.) Skinny just means a sign that you have a fast metabolism; so generally speaking, the younger and skinnier you are, the faster your metabolism is likely to be.) Positive results for THC metabolites in urine tests beyond 30 days is EXTREMELY rare; even for heavy smokers. Also dilute any home urine drug test kit enough and it will show negative for any drug. So here drinking excess fluids on the day of test DOES matter. It matters a great deal. (You won't be able to fool a lab though so easily.) I never understood the wisdom of drinking excess fluids weeks and days before a drug test for marijuana use; the THC metabolites are fat soluble, and all data suggests it would make no difference. I could however understand why drinking excess fluids daily would be helpful if you didn't know when you would be tested; it's better to flush system continually in case of test being unannounced or on short notice. (Now it won't hurt to drink more than normal amounts so you may want to try; but it probably isn't doing any good; at least the data doesn't show it matters.) Niacin has mixed results but I guess it can't hurt to try. The second link has detailed information on success rates for various common tricks (including niacin) to fool a drug test; how good any of them are is questionable. Below are two links that explain realistic detection times and more about the tests. There facts are fairly accurate and consistent with other studies and sites. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_test http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/testing/testing_faq.shtml
3. stick by what john teel said, i couldnt have explained it any better myself
