It'll get rid of all the toxins so drug tests come out squeaky clean the next day.

Of course if they take a sample of your hair all the drugs show up.

The initial screening usually consists of an inexpensive urine test that tests for metabolites of five or so classes of drugs, and is not very specific.

There are MANY common over-the-counter medications, and prescription drugs, that cause FALSE POSITIVES on the cheap screens.

I discovered this many, many years ago on the ONE time I've ever had to submit to pre-employment drug screening. I occasionally take a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory called etodolac, trade name Lodine.

Etodolac causes a false positive on the cannabanoid test, i.e. marijuana. I was concerned about that, and went to a head shop in beautiful Ocean Beach, CA (suburb of San Diego) and bought myself a couple of 5-panel urine test kits.

Lo and behold, a day after I had taken a Lodine pill I flunked the marijuana test. I laid off the Lodine for three days and re-tested myself. I came up clean.

If you flunk the urine test you can challenge it, but the employer is likely to respond by requiring a gas chromatograph test using the same sample you submitted initially. In the event a person who got a false positive due to etodolac happened to have used cannabis a few weeks earlier, that would possibly show up on the GC test. At that point, you are sunk.

ETA the solution to pollution is dilution. Lay off of all drugs for as long as you can prior to the test. The day before the test drink plenty of fluids - Any kind, water is fine. The morning of the test flush your body by drinking plenty of water.

Under no circumstances allow your first urine of the day to be tested, or the first part of the stream of any urination event.

There is a chance your urine might come out too dilute to test. This is determined by the concentration of creatinine and other substances that are always present in urine. If your urine is found to be too dilute, tell the company that your doctor has recommended that you drink lots of fluids in order to prevent the formation of kidney stones. You may be asked to submit another sample, or they may just pass you.

In the old days most of the guys were drunks, gradually changing into druggies. On any given job, 80 or 90 percent of the workers would have peed dirty had they been tested. In all those years, I was never tested, and I've been on some big jobs. Once, on a big union job on an army base when I was one of six foremen, the bosses held a meeting and decided not to test anyone as they would have lost most of their crew.
Construction, the last frontier. As long as you're good at your trade you're safe.

test came out as inconclusive because he had been taking Xanax (not sure of the spelling). But the lie detector expert said that if a person takes that drug before a lie detector test that the results will come out as inconclusive.

People make a big deal out of flunking a polygraph test, but in the world of law, it means nothing. They are not admissible into evidence because they are not reliable.

It pisses me off to no end that to find a good job one has to submit to the invasion of privacy by giving up bodily fluids or hair... I ahve been anti drug testing since it began, and have always thought it should be unconstitutional. but there's no protections for the worker bees of our society anymore.
My last stand now is that I refuse to submit to a credit check...it is nobody's business the state of my non existent bank acct or defaulted student loan.

I am applying for a couple corporate jobs this week, and am mentally preparing myself to have to succumb to the pee test...IF I even make it to the interview...

Don't do any drugs. Don't drink alcohol. Cheating the tests is akin to someone using a fake social security card or green card.

Using a fake Social Security Number and using a forged green card are both crimes. Taking legal measures to optimize your chances of passing an employer's drug test is not.

wwhich is not a federal crime iirc.

Just don't be under the influence at work.

About every seven years since I was 20. Twice, I had to have them dealt with surgically. Once, Lithotripsy (sp?); once LASER. (BTW, if you have a choice, sonic wave litotripsy is the way, way better choice.)

The point of my post here is to impart some knowledge that my urologist in Wichita told me while we were hunting for the elusive stones causing me to pee blood. He asked me if I drank beer. I said, indeed I do. He told me that beer is a great diuretic, it makes you pee. For kidney stones -- and possibly for a near future drug urine test -- I cannot think of a more pleasurable solution.

I did not pass the stone in Wichita. Lithotripsy saved the day. But two weeks ago I passed one on my own -- thank goodness to the beer gods. And thanks to Dr. Cossman in Wichita who encouraged me.

If you want to dilute your pee, use beer -- hopefully good beer, not stupid Light garbage. I recommend IPA -- no pun intended.

Weight could affect how long a drug is detectable in your system, but not all that much.

2. if you drink "obscene amounts of water, the urine would be too diluted and they'd throw it out adnnd report you.

3. Swapping is downright impossible even if you DO manage to smuggle it in - which ain't easy; they check things like temperature which needs to be consistent with normal recent output.

Then there are blood tests and hair tests (tests for THREE months usage. . . )

Nope, the best way to "beat a drug test"? Don' do drugs if you're job hunting. If you're working for a company with random drug tests, it's just a matter of time. And how lucky you are.

Make sure it's in the right temperature - can get it from any head shop. My local one sells it for $25/bottle.

Anyone who tells you different (unless you're using synthetic urine or something) is a fucking liar.

But hey, it's your livelihood and maybe a family you need to support... you do what you want.

Best way to test clean is to be clean.

They have to note the physical attributes of the urine. They check color, temperature, odor, and pH. This is how they can determine if someone's trying to beat the test.

My advice is if you work for a company that does random drug testing (whether you agree with it or not) don't do the drugs if you plan on keeping your job.

Telling people how to beat the test is irresponsible.

was diluted from drinking too many liquids. Those employees were retested without being given enough time to drink enough liquids to alter the test results again.

Drug testing is almost forced on companies these days either by their insurance carriers or other companies that you do work for. My boss resisted for a long time as he believes that what you do on your own time is your own business, as long as it doesn't affect your job performance or the safety of your co-workers. However, some of our customers require that we have our own drug policy in force or we are subject to the terms of their drug policy when we are working on their premises. Some of those policies are very strict. Also, we receive a discount on worker's comp insurance premiums by qualifying as a drug-free workplace. In the end, we wrote a drug policy that gave him as much leeway as possible while still meeting the requirements we needed.

To UA that is. I say, you want to see whats in my pee? Get a fucking warrant you fucking fascist bastards.

I cannot beleive how "land of the free, home of the brave" has rolled over for this violation of our constitution.
