Default Re: I want to keep smoking weed. I have to pass the drug test though.

Really? For some reason, I have it in my head that it would be traceable as long as I've smoked in the last few months. I guess that's only if you smoke a lot?

Whiz quiz is good for detection of a casual smoker for about 2 - 4 weeks after last use; habitual smoker is 4 - 6 weeks. Give or take.

Advice about exercise is spot on. Skinny people are clean faster due to less fat for THC storage.

Your fear of months of detection comes from hair tests. Those tests detect as far out as the company is willing to pay - the more hair is tested (starting at the root) the more time is under the gun, but it costs. Generally you are only going to get tested for 3 months worth or so. Don't think that shaving your head the night before will be effective; they'll just take hair off your arm or chest or somewhere else. And if you go in completely shaved, head to toe Olympic swimmer style, then you aren't getting the job.

Samples can now be tested for known masking agents (if the tester wants to pony up the cost). I'd veer away from them if I were you - no need to worry about those at your usage level.

FWIW, I smoke daily and had to pass a whiz quiz before I started my current job. I'm skinny and don't exercise worth a lick. I stayed clean for 30 days and passed fine.

I did do my homework on the web before the test - it's all out there, but it's been 2 years so I don't remember where the info was. Google is your friend.
