    Drinking lots of water won't work. All you do is make your urine crystal clear, and the guy doing your test will either fail you right away for obviously flushing, or he'll tell you to go get something to eat and come back later.

      Interesting. That probably explains why the nurse at my factory job would compliment me on the color. I always thought that a little weird. Of course, I got a good laugh out of her once when I said, "You think the color is nice? You should smell the bouquet!"

        The "cleansing" products don't work. Like anything else you need to metabolise it and pass it from your system.

        And if anyone offers you something that removes traces from your hair. Laugh in their face. -_-

        We did a study in Toxicology where every person in class was asked to (anonymously) submit a urine sample for various tests. We were asked to mark if we'd taken any illegal substances, prescription medication, pinkillers, alcahol etc etc

        One thing we tested was Marijuana, and one person had written down that they used it but also used a cleansing product, some kind of liquid i think.

        That sample came back positive for Marijuana and opioid compunds, so that was interesting.

          From what I've heard, the "cleansing" products fall into 2 categories:
          - Those that don't work
          - Those that do work, but which the test looks for in addition to its primary targets.

          Actually, there is something (perfectly legal) which will get you past a hair test - a razor (but you've gotta use it before your first "face to face" contact - being bald is one thing, going bald immediately after being informed they'll do a hair test is another).

            Huh... that happened to me like twice, and they just accepted the results without blinking. I wonder if it's too clear they think you gave them warm water instead - and just go with your overall attitude about things.


            Of course I've been told by one place that all the prescribed meds I was on (things they'd actually test for in a sense as some were narcotics [codein/etc]), that they might as well not even test me (they did). Another said "that's fine, we test it here for common drugs, and oh yeah you tested positive for those, we send them off for testing as well so you'll be fine".


            In this hypothetical situation.... I've known some people who use the drug "pass" a drug test by stopping all use weeks before job hunting drug test -- and tell the place that they don't use the drug, but their relative/girlfriend/boyfriend/etc does and you've been around it. Now they had been tested frequently after, like a few drug tests before they were hired or considered "full time" or just given their full duties -- but they got around it.

              Option D- if you're looking for a job, don't do drugs.

                Yeah, but it sucks that something like weed can get you banned from such a prestigious job as the gas station...I could understand if it was like, assistant secretary to the president or something.

                  use synthetic pee (you can buy it on the internet) or have someone pee in bottle for you. tape it to the inside of your leg with 2 of those "handwarmer" things around them to keep the temprature up. but be careful, it may make it to hot.

                  I come from a family with a lot of pot smokers. I'm one of the few clean ones, and have peed for other family members.

                    I hope that I mistakenly read that in a way that it wasn't intended...

                    I worked at different gas stations for over 5 years. For the most part I liked it.

                    If someone won't lay off the drugs in order to get a job, then don't bother looking. Easy as that.

                      Note: I don't smoke.

                      I'd definitely not smoke while job searching if I were you.


                      However, I do know one method that has worked before for others (couple of friends) in the past, but only if you have at least a week before you need to take it.

                      For at -least- a week beforehand, drink a crapton of cranberry juice, it's a natural toxin cleanser.

                      Then the night before the test, eat a huge steak dinner with all the trimmings. This will replace all the vitamins and minerals that have also been flushed out of your system. That way they won't be able to tell that you flushed yourself clean.

                      Also, the water trick does NOT work, a lot of drug tests also include a pH test to see if there's an abnormal amount of water in the urine. Failing the pH test is the same as failing the drug test itself.

                        I have never had problems, mainly because I dont smoke though I did try it back in high school [and i did inhale =)]

                        I also dont sweat the whole issue because I am on furosemide, a serious diuretic, and as I have a few other conditions that have me taking a variety of drugs I simply bring along a copy of my medication list. I drink around a gallon of water a day and pee pretty clear =)

                          I know that at least one of those "cleaner" things works; my brother (a devout pothead) got past a drug test with one, once. However, he tried a different one another time and failed.

                          As an aside, it's actually now legal for him to smoke.

                          Regardless, if you're looking for work, your best bet is to lay off for some time until after you have secured a position. Not only will it ensure that you have no reason to fail a drug test, but you'll save money during a time when the budget is tight.

                            synthetic pee... one of the reasons why the military forces us to pee in front of a witness.

                            though... if they're doing a drug test for the job there's probably a reason why, such as safety etc.


                            And ... don't forget to NOT eat poppy-seed bagels before your test. Or poppy-seed cake.

                            They tested it on Mythbusters and popped positive within oh 30 minutes to an hour. I think that was after just eating one full serving.

                              To be fair, that was with the cheapie standard test most companies use the first time. On retests with a better check system, the test could tell the difference between opium and poppy seeds. Then again, it would suck to be under suspicion until the second test came back (and possibly longer, as the suspicion would be planted now), so better safe than sorry.

                                That reminds me.... no eating poppy seeds (I'm trying to find a contract/part-time/full-time job as my business is hurting now ----my county's a "poverty county" due to conditions and unemployment rates [10% or higher].... no sense even possibly risking a glitch on a test).
