honestly, if you're really in the shape you say you are, and you've really smoked as infrequently as you say you have, and you drink plenty of water, you should pass.
advice though: make sure you urinate a few times during the day before your test, to clear out urine that's accumulated overnight with a higher amount of metabolites. work out as much as you can until the test. and make sure you give a midstream sample (start peeing into toilet, switch to cup, switch back to toilet) of your urine, rather than just peeing directly into the cup.
good luck, mate!
edit: unfortunately, niacin hasn't actually been proven to do anything. That's not saying it's impossible that it does something, but it's really not worth it.

I agree. Maybe it's time to grow up and stop doing drugs......While they may not have any major effects on you now, they will definitely mess you up in the long run.
I'm only in high school but I've already seen a lot of hardcore druggies and it's shown me how detrimental drugs can be.
@ iJohnHenry . I disagree , simply because almost anything in moderation is ok , depending on health and obvious scenarios .
Cannabis for instance can be used not only for the usual pain argument but for enlightenment, used too much and the user simply becomes a 'pot head' basically a paranoid layabout.
Used occasionally for enlightenment it opens the mind to alternatives one would not have thought of without it. I bet Steve and Woz smoked a few here and there !.
Some folks in this world would benefit a lot by smoking a joint every once in a while whilst sat in a lovely peaceful wood or by a stream (like politicians or violent criminals for instance).
I also believe all drugs should be legalized, it would remove a massive burden on law enforcement and also create a large income for local governments which could be used for good purposes, never mind the amount of power and money which would be instantly removed from the criminal element.aaannd negate the need for these ridiculous drug tests (unless injury could possibly occur if the user worked in that kind of environment , most times it seems to be office workers who are scrutinized in this way which is unnecessary imho)
Simple reason most of these substances are illegal is because it is difficult to tax them and also difficult to go back on years of propaganda.
There is a place and purpose for all these substances .
To use them and not abuse them is key .

Best answer!
Depending on the test site, this would not even work.
Actually, you can tell someone has used weed for much longer than this using certain tests.
Wise words.It's why I stopped smoking grass twelve years ago. My job is too important to my family for me to (literally
Depends on the test site.
You would not make it through some that I know. However, I would imagine that this would work for many test sites.
Anything that you put into your body can affect it. Some more than others.
Definitely not a pretty sight in some cases.
People have died doing that....
Dont drink more than 2.5 litres a day.
3 litres of water can be lethal to a woman.
It depends what type of drug test your doing, military drug tests can tell if you've smoked weed in the past 6 months, but most civilian ones only test for the past 2 weeks, and the strength of the weed is very important too, the level of cannaboids in the weed 40 years ago is very different to know (like 20 times the amount now) so its easy for someone to say they drank 4 litres of cranberry juice and did a voodoo dance 20 years ago and passed a drugs test when weed was basically a stronger tobacco back then. The only real guaranteed way is to not smoke it for 10 days. Put it like this, if you cant, then your addicted.
Having family in various law enforcement related fields, I know they definitely observe the process to prevent cheating, but how the company does it is really up to them.
Also, just to repeat what others have said, I've found it's a surefire way to pass a drug test to not do drugs.

I'm of the opinion that cannabis doesn't magically do no harm to you as it screws with your nervous system, but I do wish it wasn't illegal. Make it legal, less money goes to organizations that don't deserve it. Besides, studies have suggested cannabis is safer than alcohol. Also, mental addictions can be just as powerful (if not more) than physical addictions, though no physical withdrawal is a bonus.
True, it's kinda a "mental" thing at that point if you can't live without weed (Habit sparked by other things I'm no doctor just sayin). Lucky bastards don't have to deal with withdrawal, it's just using your brain.
Wow, I don't understand how you know you are currently seeking a job but then make a decision like this. I normally don't wish bad luck upon people but come on you should be way smarter with your decision making if you are ready to take on an adult job.
You clearly know nothing about how widespread cannabis use is in this country by adults working "adult jobs".
My mom works for clearchannel, she tells me often how at company partys she is often offered a joint outside.
Drink lots of water, but make sure you take in some electrolytes too so you don't get sick. Doing so will turn your pee really clear, and they'll know you diluted, so take plenty of B vitamins and eat meat and it'll turn yellow again.
Getting clean in 11 days might be tough though...
I don't do this [or smoke] myself, but I don't always hang out with the right crowd

eat a ton of niacin and drink TONS of water, until the day before the test. Then stop taking the niacin as they test for that.

I'm sort of a pot head (although right now I'm on a tolerance break) but you can get physically addicted to weed. Sure the withdrawl symptoms are mild but there there. For example often times heavy smokers who quit never get very hungry for about a week.

I know how widely it is used but most people have enough intelligence to know if they are looking for a job maybe they should chill out for a bit until they at least get the job. Majority of places only do drug tests upon hire and not any time further except if its required by the DOT.
Thanks for your assumption though. Since your mom tells you everything please ask her if my response is correct before responding to my follow-up post.
Drug tests are such a scam. So big deal if you smoked pot on your own time a week ago? As long as you don't go to work stoned why the hell should they give you a drug test? IMHO it is actually a violation of your 4th amendment rights and the sad thing is they get away with it because people need jobs.
Sorry I don't know any tips to passing a drug test. I just never did smoke any pot when I knew I would be looking for a job.

The advice to drink a lot on the day is good as far as I've heard.
I think it is a total invasion of privacy and a violation of civil liberties to test for drugs for most jobs. Of course, if you are handling equipment that could harm someone if mishandled, there is at least a reason for it.
My sister passed a test about a week after her last toking session for a hospital job. You should be fine.

unless you eat a poppy seed muffin.
EDIT:
OP, too bad you didn't do heroin, cocaine or meth. Those wouldn't show up in a drug test after two days. But you had to go and do the most evil of all drugs!
I am going to request a link to back up that information. It screams BS to me big time since I down 3+ liters a day all the time.
