THC acctually takes longer to leave the body than most other drugs. Cocaine is out of your system is less than 48 hours. Despite that, you'll still be fine with a 3 week lead. But I've had buddies fail after two weeks.

THC metabolites can remain in the body at detectable levels up to 6 weeks or more for heavy smokers. It is fat soluble and is stored in fat tissues, even if you are thin.


Now, OP claims to have not smoked for 3 weeks, and an unknown period before that. Most likely he'll pass.

To help ensure passing:

Start drinking alot of fluids. Gatoraide is better than just water, as if you drink too much water, you can die. Gatoraide has sodium to prevent this.

Eat vitamin B complex. This is to color your urine so that it does not look too "clear".

I'm sure OP's not planning on drinking 100 gallons of water within an hour.

OP: Don't get drunk the night before. The alcohol will dehydrate you, and if you have any small amount of THC in your body it will show up in the piss test, because of the decreased water content of your urine. You want your piss to look like Evian, not lemonade.

1-2 gallons can kill you. It's called a water edema/hyponatremia, wherein the sodium levels in your blood are diluted to the point that it causes your brain to swell, and you die.

Why the hell do you need to do a drugtest for a job?
If you do your job, I wouldn't mind if you used all the drugs in the world.

Don't know why they do to be honest. I am guessing it's because they figure a pothead doesn't do their job as good as someone who doesn't smoke. Stereotypically they will show up for work late, not work when they are there because they're blazed, etc.

But it's not some unknown thing nowadays. 4 out of the last 5 jobs I've worked drug tested me before my start date. Especially retail stores, they're notorious for it but supposedly they are "random" for new employees.

AND U DID NOT LEVEL ME

[/ QUOTE ]

even if good2cu was leveling, I know for a fact manguydude21 wasn't. he obviously does not read anything on the internet, watch national television, or listen to the radio to hear the story from like 2 weeks ago about the girl who died from "holding her wee for a wii" which was the most blatant story regarding water intoxication.

there was another story from a couple years ago where a small child wouldn't eat their food so the parents made them drink glasses and glasses of water instead for punishment and it killed the kid.
