    Hi all, this is my first post and I will be continuing to share my upcoming experience, methods and results regarding pre-employement drug testing and look to provide knowledge and gain from others. If you feel you have any relevant information or are undergoing a similar experience please feel free to share [​IMG]

    Background:
    I will be taking a drug test for a career type internship sometime around April 15-22. (Offer stated approx. 1 month before start date of May 22). I am age 22, daily smoker for 3+ years and quit Feb 28. 6' 200lb. In summation I will be taking the test sometime around 40-50 days of abstinence following chronic use. I consider this an interesting empirical study and hope the upcoming information will be of use to others.

    Methods:
    I will be screening myself frequently using standard home drug test kits and sending all tests in for GS/MS to confirm results and not mess with the "faint line" b.s. Additionally, when I find out specifics regarding location and date I plan to schedule a full mock test at the same site to provide results. Depending on forthcoming home tests I plan to dilute or even sub if I can't get clean.

    What I'm looking for:
    - I am most interested in hearing about personal drug testing experience including but not limited to:
    - time it took for you to pass (test verification please - no "I think")
    - please include smoking frequency, smoking type, age, height & weight
    - Encouragement! [​IMG]
    - instances of failure after extreme periods of abstinence (40-50+ days)
    - experiences diluting the day of the test
    - situations where you felt you'd pass and did not (based on home testing)
    - any fact based experience with testing period.

    What I'm not looking for:
    - "Will I pass"? (dumbest question ever)
    - advice on saunas, detox, pills, etc. (that stuff doesn't work and you know it!)
    - speculation (I think it was xxx...)

    I know information is often lacking validity on this subject and I hope to create a page which provides factual evidence that can benefit everyone. Feel free to bring forth whatever you think is relevant and I will be here actively at a minimum until my final test results. Thanks and Happy Testing! [​IMG]

    Following 10 days of abstinence:
    Took a First Check home screen. Complete failure as expected with no visible line. 
     
    Following 15 days of abstinence: 
    Took a Walgreens home screen 50 ng/ml cutoff. 
    Second void of the day. Diluted using two bottles of water and one cup of coffee. Filled cup from mid-stream. 
    Goal of this test was to see if I could pass a basic test with simple dilution. 
    Passed with somewhat faint line. (picture included) Very surprised. I realize this may not have passed tests for dilution so not convinced by the result whatsoever but a good sign nonetheless. Took another pee later tonight without dilution for GS/MS test.
     
    Will be taking another test tomorrow morning on first void with no dilution. Expect to fail but will be useful for quantified GS/MS.

    Following 16 Days of Abstinence:
    Took another Walgreens 50ng/mL screen. 
    First void of the morning, no dilution the night before. 
    Result appears positive (almost invisible white line indicates ghost - still positive in my book). 
    Positive test was expected, will be sending results for GC/MS.

    Additional test with water dilution coming later today! 
     
  4. I know you said not to mention non-lab test but I figured you'd like to know I passed a probation drug test, one that's a pretty damn advanced pee in a cup test, the line of drugs it tested for was insane. None the less I did a simply dilution method with use of vitamin b for color( had to do trial and error, one void was green, imagine explaining that one ;) ) so I smoked 2 joints on a Friday, Saturday and one joint on a Sunday. Test was Thursday passed with a semi faint line that was pretty much all there. Po said oh don't worry you passed. It's all about confidence when it comes to these type of tests. Cheers and good luck :)

  5. Also I'm 6'4 and 170lb, I also have a craziest fast metabolism, I can eat all day and not gain a lb. cheers

    Thanks Southeast! I should say posts like your's whether it goes to lab or not are still helpful and appreciated. I should have said, any info regarding tests done outside the home. I still have plenty of time until my test and am rather confident I'll make it but probably won't feel assured until that good first am void is clean. Thanks again :)

    Following 16 Days of Abstinence:
    Took First Check 50ng/mL home test
    5th void of the day, heavy water intake, midstream, pale with yellow tint
    Extremely definitive pass! Still not sure if it makes it past dilution verify but with b12 & creatine I don't see why not
    Note: this test was performed the same day as the previous posts fail. What this means is if you're not diluting in at least some manner you're really creating a lot of risk.

    Summary to this point:
    All day smoker 3+ years, 6' 200.
    16 days clean, still failing morning void, passing with dilution no problem
    Going to take about a 8-10 day test break and try first void again. By then should have quantified results from lab.

    If you need to take one of these home tests the simple answer seems to be dilute and you really can pass no problem. Might not be helpful for pre-employment or PO but for parents this method has validity.

    Feel free to continue sharing your own experiences I'll be keeping an eye on the page to answer question, view your info and come back with more soon! :)

    Following 17 Days of Absinence:
    So I know I said I'd take a testing break but couldn't help myself.
    Took 50 ng/mL First Check home test.
    Third void of day with care not to dilute. Very yellow and smelly void.
    Passed with faint line. Took strip out due to foggy plastic.
    Still pretty surprised with my results so far. Heavy smoker and passing at 17 days no dilution.

  9. Cheers bro! I remember taking one of those tests from cvs where you have to tip it on the side, i was two week abstinence after not too much usage and had the most faint line ever haha, no dilution mind you. Good luck bro and glad to see your quality of posts.


    -Your point is as pointless as describing colors to a blind man.-
     
  10. Thank you sir! Appreciate the encouragement. Mind you my test isn't at least for another 25 days so I'm starting to feel pretty good about it. Gonna keep updating but considering the result today testing isn't worth it for another week or so. :)
     
  11.  
    Oh, forgot to ask in my previous post; did you end up taking a 'real' test following testing yourself and getting faint lines? I've seen reviews that suggest they might not be as accurate as advertised but I'd be interested in hearing from someone who took a test following a faint line and the results they got back. Thanks again friend :) 
     
  12. No sir, I didn't end up taking a test that appointment, I was cutting it as close as possible with when I did get tested, granted Im real good with showing confidence when stressed cause trust me I was nervous on the inside, but I was prepared. Basically did my own trial and error about 3 times before I was finally tested, by then I had my method down pack with color etc. cheers

    Right on, that's where I'm at now. I would be very worried about taking a test today but luckily that's not the situation. I plan on getting some 20 ng/mL strips online along with validity tests so I can get my dilution method down pat. If I can pass a 20ng test along with validity I know I'm in the clear. Honestly I should be fine but you know how it is. 
     
  14. I wouldn't worry man I'm sure you will be clean if not need very minute dilution, cheers
