Removing THC?

[sar13]

So, for Father's Day i went up the tram and skied a few laps on Cody. Great corn, good friends and very cool wife for telling me to go. First lap I took two hits on my buddies pipe. I rarely smoke, last time was at least 2 or 3 months ago. Hiking up for the second run I remembered I have a physical for life insurance tomorrow (Tuesday).

Any thoughts on whether this small amount would turn up and suggestions on how to reduce the chances of it showing up would be greatly appreciated.

Most likely not but you could borrow someone else's pee.

I smoked 2 days before a drug test a little while ago (didn't know I was taking one) and all I did was drink about a gallon of water before the test. Pissed em a cup of water and passed....

Tommy Chong used to be a spokesman for a product called "Urine Luck". No idea whether or not it works, but the ads were funny.

In high school, I heard that tetracyclene works. I think they prescribe it for skin conditions or something. Don't know if that really works either though.

[TeleMang]

There is a product called 'Clean-Pee' (or something along those lines)

It is kind of expensive but it can clear the THC out of even a habitual smoker in less than a day. Just be sure to take a multi-vitamin because it pretty much drains you.

Where's the link to the "Whizzinator"?

I think you should go the other way. grind up some weed in your urine and strain. Then put it in the sample. The results will be so high (NPI) that they'll think the test is invalid. And eat a whole bunch of poppy seeds before too.

Water, lots and lots of water. Start now and drink H20 until the test. Especially the day of!

[Orange Julius]

If they will let you get by w/ it, water will work, but when I was in the NCAA soccer tourney they would refuse urine samples that were too hydrated. Really the best solution is time. Unfortunately THC remains in the system for some time. I would go the water route though, at least it will be an inconclusive test to buy some time.

Tests don't detect THC itself but the metabolite associated with THC. As the director of the Navy Drug Lab in San Diego told a group of visiting defense attorneys:

"Dilution is the Solution to your Pollution"

Skip GNC and spend your time drinking water as nothing exists that will render THC metabolite undetectable to a GCMS (Gas Chronometer Mass Spectrometer) test. What they are looking for is a concentration of the metabolite above a certain threshold (in the case of the military, 500 nanograms of THC metabolite per ml of urine). Below a certain level, the test can't dismiss the presence of the metabolite as the result of second-hand contact. Just pound obscene amounts of water and try to urinate as often as possible between now and then.

[Danno]

I don't believe any of the products you can buy do anything. Dilution is the solution if they aren't testing for dilution. Really, the only sure bets are time and hard exercise, the only things that can do it. But, since you don't smoke much, I expect that the levels in your urine would be pretty low regardless. I would drink a butt load of water and go with that.

[Orange Julius]

just don't die from hypernutremia

[Danno]

oh, here's some other advice. Make sure you piss before the test, the first piss of the day has the most metabolites. Also, when peeing into the cup, piss the first and last parts of the stream into the urinal, not the cup. Only put the middle of the stream into the cup. The first and last parts have more of the metabolites...

[DrRy]

Do something that will make you sweat tonight and in the morning. And as many have said, go for the water. Since the test is tommorow that's your only option, but too much water and they will become suspicious. At least that's how they are with the company I work for.

The potency of the weed is also a factor. Two hits of low grade weed you should be alright, but if it was really potent you may be in touble.

[Mofro261]

Since when is a urine-drug test part of a routine physical?
They're going to do some blood work but THC doesn't show up unless you go looking for it.

I'd drink water away and not worry too much, this sounds like a test of your general health as opposed to confirming your Viagra habit.

Good Luck Mang.
Just hope they don't have sniffer dogs

All right. I have a slightly relevant anecdote. Back in 1996, a period of heavy THC consumption, my girlfriend prevailed upon me to move from JH to San Francisco. I had lined up a job interview at a semiconductor company in San Jose (didn’t look far on a map…)

The day before my interview, I was talking to my dad about it (he was in the industry) and he said, “I’m sure it won’t be a problem for you, but don’t be surprised if they ask you to piss in a cup.” I put down the bong and chortled, “Wha..?,” hung up the phone and drove to the Haight. I picked up a box of goldenseal tea , went home and brewed up a massive batch. I drank as much of that shit as I could stand, and went to bed.

The next morning, I drove down to San Jose with a 2-liter bottle of the shit. Drank the whole thing. Took a piss at the gas station near the interview and went in 5 minutes early. By the time the interview started, 15 minutes later, my teeth were already floating. I could not concentrate on the questions being asked, due to the immense pressure in my bladder. It was one of those deals where they rotate people in to interview you every 15 minutes or so, and for some reason I was not assertive enough to ask for a bathroom break.

Finally, about 2 ½ hours later, the interviews were over, and I was free to go, without having to offer a urine sample. I beelined for the men’s room, barely got my zipper down and furiously unleashed on the urinal for about 5 minutes, groaning with pain/pleasure/relief.

It was then that I heard a toilet flush in one of the stalls, and the senior guy with whom I had interviewed came out with a newspaper under his arm. “Jesus Christ!” he said. “How much coffee did you have on the way down here?” I hadn’t had any coffee, and I didn’t have any idea what to say. So I said, “Thanks for the opportunity to interview with you today, Mr. Otsuka,” and extended my hand. He looked at my hand, which I hadn’t washed since releasing 5 gallons of piss into the toilet, and did not take it. He walked over to the sink, washed his hands, and as he left the bathroom, said, “We’ll be in touch.”

I got the job.

My last two jobs have required urine tests for pre-hire. My current job requires a test for any on-the-job injury. I'm not a heavy smoker, just a hit or two from a pipe during a Friday night poker game, or when out hiking or something, but I've now managed to pass three tests after having smoked small amounts within 72 hours. In my most recent job I had smoked a little (couple of hits off a pipe) each night while on a weeklong backpacking trip. Three days later I was at the clinic for the pre-interview screening and obviously nothing turned up 'cuz I got the job.

On Super Bowl Sunday a pipe got passed around during halftime and I got pretty baked. The Tuesday following I stepped on a nail at work and had to go to a clinic to get a tetanus shot. Since it was an on the job injury, covered by L&I I had to piss in the cup. No problem.

Pretty convinced at this point that if you're not overweight (THC gets stored with fat cells), exercise a lot, keep yourself well hydrated, and aren't an everyday heavy smoker that you will very likely pass any test.

Are you sure that they are going to test for pot? My buddy had to take one of those things when we were in college and he was only tested for Cigs. He was a heavy smoker(cig) so just decided that he would smoke joints everytime he felt the urge to smoke. I am pretty sure those life insurance tests are just cig's.

Ditto. Docs and Healthcare Providers don't care if you get high. All of my doctors have known about my safety intake. They ask, I tell, it's a non-issue.

If you get in a pinch and are sweating it, I heard a dip of the finger into some bleach, then into the cup, will spoil the results.

[The Reverend Floater]

They'll test for it. This much I know. Best thing to do if you're really sketched out is drink waaaaaaay too much water. Then you'll have to be retested at a later date.

[splat]

My ex was once cleaning out the coffee pot with bleach. I decided I wanted to make some coffee, saw there was already water in the reservoir, put in some grounds, and turned it on. When it was done, I poured a cup, put in some cream and drank half the cup before I realized it tasted funny. Then my ex told me she had filled it with bleach. Totally freaked out and called the CDC. The woman on the other end of the phone laughed her ass off and told me I might drop a white load of laundry the next day.

so....if all else fails....let's see if they have a test for that!
