I think alot of the time with these drug tests still notice the thc but employers simply don't care about the weed. I know of some places that do hair tests that go back like 5 years, and people don't get fire because they have smoked weed in the past 5 years.

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.

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

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.

A lady died drinking about this much a couple weeks ago. Did it in a radio contest trying to win an xbox or something. she drank just under 2 gal. It happens quite a bit, with college pranks, bar bets, etc. Just hit the news cuz a radio station was running the contest.

you're good if it's a urine test... in case it's a hair test, shave all your hair

I suspect that this is why the "bald look" is so popular these days... lolz

Unfortunately, all they need is one and they'll find a body hair someplace.

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.
