I'm debating whether to get some of my friend's pee (who is drug free) and use it for the test. I'm just worried about the temperature of his pee.

I run and sweat a lot, and have been in the sauna/steam room about 5 times in the past week.

I drink tons of water too.

Clearly you have no conception of how a drug test works ... and why would you right? I had to take it for my company and I assure you, I was not allowed to bring anything in ... and as a female, that included personal feminine products.

Of course if their test requires a hair sample, that tends to show everything you've done over the past several months. And yes, showing up for the test completely bald and shaven might set off some red flags. ;)

Believe me, I've drug tested before.

You can easily put something in your underwear between the...well, nevermind haha. It will stay warm, and trust me, it won't be found.

So do they stand over you while you do it?, I highly doubt it but if so I'd tell em where to stick the job frankly, no way I would do that , degrading and invasion of privacy,period.

Down the ol underpants with a sample bottle/whatever with clean piss in it and that's it, done.

I wouldn't take weed unless I required it for medicinal, it'll wreck your head up after a while if you did.



edit** You know it's incensed me this thread , I can't get over the fact that company's are allowed to do this.

Not if you planned ahead and were bald on the interview, too! ... unless, of course, they check if you are clean shaven in areas other than your face :eek:
 
OP, I'm no expert on the subject of passing these tests but I do have a little tidbit that may be beneficial to know to you. THC stays in the fat of your body. Seeing as you have a low amount of that, you could possibly be clean much sooner than say, a 500 lb person.

No did I say they stood over you? Read again. I said that you can't enter with ANYTHING on your person and I gave the extreme (I guess I have to spell it out) they would not allow me to even enter with a new tampon as I was about to do away the old one. So yeah, you get a vile of piss in then I'm going to be rather impressed.

And why do companies do this? Because they don't want some drugged up twunt endangering themselves or others. Some jobs need a bit of focus ... I mean outside McDonalds and the likes.

When I had a drug test about 7 years ago for Best Buy the drug testing person made me keep the door open and my hands where she could see them while I peed. I was actually incredibly annoyed for a few reasons:

-I was clean, and was really annoyed that I was being treated like a cheater.
-It was a freaking part-time retail job for college. All I wanted was enough money to cover my post-rugby match beers, and something to do when I wasn't playing video games while "writing my senior thesis".
-I HATE having people near me when I pee.

I've always assumed BB did it for insurance/liability reasons...they make you use forklifts and other large pieces of equipment in the warehouse when shipments come in, plus you don't want someone impaired lifting a 75lb TV...

Yeah that's generally how drug tests work. You aren't allowed to bring anything in with you.

Although, I've known numerous people that have gone in with a little container with clean pee in it, and passed. Just not sure I want to take that route.

This thread has gotten a bit off topic.

I was just looking to hear from people that are smokers and have been tested within a given amount of time.
 
The messed up thing is that the harder drugs would have been out of your system by now, a friend of mine gets randomly tested by his employer so he's stopped smoking the occasional spliff and instead does E acid and shrooms.

Drug testing employees has never made sense to me, if the drugs are having a detrimental effect on productivity then you can fire them for being pants at their job, if they're not having a negative impact then how is an employees habits their business?

Whoa, back up there lady, I never said they stood over you !. Please read what I said again, noting the question mark at the end of my question !.

I suggest before one one starts rampaging at fellow MR members make sure you read the post that has angered you thoroughly first.
I am also aware what you meant by ladies products when you mentioned it discreetly in your original post, spelling out not required, maybe it's a bad day ? but no need for the attitude toward me, no need at all!.

Btw, I highly doubt I will ever need to sneak a vile of piss anywhere .Not because I work at Mcdonalds or the like you understand .
Good luck on your next test:)

I can understand a test of this nature when the job would entail the personal safety of others, such as you described with the forklift, and you are right to be incredibly annoyed at the actions of that particular 'tester'. It is an invasion of privacy, pure and simple.

Exactly.

And I hate people who are sharp about drugs - so sharp that they forget or don't realise that alcohol and tobacco as well as coffee are drugs too. I'm for the criminalising for drug offences related to cocaine, heroine, meth and all the other hard drugs. But cannabis... come on. I hate how it is thrown out there and people talk about it like it is a hard drug and is serious. Shows how poorly educated most people (and all politicians) are on drugs.

Recently, in the UK they've upgraded cannabis to Class B. Woopy do. Is that going to stop me? Hell no. Just Mr.Brown wants to make it look like he's doing something.

It is a waste of police time dealing with stoners - what we gonna do? Rob a McDonalds because we are so hungry? Compared to alcohol where we'd be burning it down, fighting people...

And to those who say, "don't do drugs" - why? Just because the government makes it clear they don't want people on anything other than these drugs: coffee, alcohol and tobacco. Why? Profit. They can tax alcohol so bad and it has become a way of life that they can't change that.

And you know what - if alcohol had been discovered today, it'd be a Class A drug.

Wow.
No, IMO it's fine the way it is. I've seen how cannabis can mess the mind up.

I'll give you alcohol but equating cannabis and caffeine :rolleyes:

And a lot of anything doesn't?

Where did I say cannabis and caffeine are equal..?

I know the effects of cannabis, and smoke it everyday in large amounts, your paranoia and general morale will be affected. I'm not denying the mental health issues - some of the stronger skunk out there can be more serious.

But to compare cannabis to heroine? No way...it isn't that serious.
 
Drink lots of water. I'm not a smoker but i assume that will help 'cleanse' your system.

DON'T EAT A POPPYSEED BAGEL!!!!! MYTHBUSTERS HAS PROVEN IT WILL CAUSE YOU TO FAIL!!!! :eek:

So they say..

But it is down to the person - smoking weed doesn't mean you are going to try other drugs. It does open up the doorway a little - you see the drugs industry and dealings and your dealer might tell you he has some other stuff he can sell you. But it is down to the person and their stupidity.

You will be ok then, sweating it out is the fastest way to rid your body of the pollution.

They proved you have to eat it in large amounts.

I eat a poppyseed bagel practically every morning and have never failed a drug test.

I don't suppose you have anything to back that up, like say some statistics comparing hospitalization by cause, or a comparison of drug-dependency on caffeine to cannabis? Or anything other than a very strong opinion that seems to be rooted in nothing other than personal revulsion?
