Last night I was at a party and took 1 bong hit...not even really a big one. It was more like half a hit. I haven't smoked for a long time before that. Now I think I will be getting a drug test this week, probably in a day or two.

I am pretty scared about this because a postive result would have some severe consequnces. What are the chances that 1 hit would show up as a positive result?

I know it builds up in your fatty tissue and I am in decent shape.

Quick, edit the title so you don't seem so stoned!

epic

you may want to invest in a ready clean bottle.

Chances are that 1 hit can show up.

Yeah, drug tests are designed to detect drug use. Good luck.

http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabi..._testing.shtml

"A single use of cannabis may be detected by a typical urine drug test for 1-6 days depending on amount smoked, individual body metabolism rates, and the cutoff level used by the test"

So... maybe, but not definitely.

As someone who has gone through rigorous marijuana testing i assure you even one hit has a substantial chance of a positive test

The "positive" is stored as a metabolite by product in your fat and takes weeks to clear from your system. Depending on use it can take less than 2 weeks, or one week with saliva testing.

Time to get creative. Think small water bottles and duct tape. or check out this site.

The whizzinator...

ya its stupid and ghey but If i would have known about this back in the day I gladly would have spent the small $ despite the utter absurdity of the purchase.

I am terrified.

I smoked a very small amount, but still. I have to call my probabtion officer back soon and I am pretty sure he will ask me to take a drug test. I don't know what to do. I suppose I could just not call him for a few days and then hope for the best. But that might anger him. I know what I did was dumb so I don't need to hear how much of an idiot I am. I am at a loss as for what to do

nice life

Don't smoke weed when you're on probation, idiot.

Well before I continue I should say I am sorry you are in this situation, that being said it was your mistake and you should figure out how to deal with reasonably/own up to it.

Seriously look on that site. The idea of a fake penis is clearly absurd but no joke, sometimes things are stupid and ridiculous but you have to do what you have to do. Whether or not you are willing to take that risk is up to you. For more info I recommend making a separate post about this topic, as I'm sure some crazy 5-10 PLO reg has had to do this before.

In the meantime find out everything you can about the test, whether it will be supervised, whether it will be tested for warmth(sometimes by hand, i actually was drug tested at an outpatient facility so I don't know P.O. procedure), sent to a lab immediately etc.

Also check what type of test it is, if it is the standard NIDA 5 test you will also need to be clean of other substances, if you have used other substances you won't have to be clean for too long, usually about 3-7 days will be enough time to cleanse your system of cocaine, MDMA, etc. It truly is ironic that the least harmful drug is the most incriminating long term in tests.

In case you haven't already researched these, alot of the goldenseal products are unreliable (although i personally know many people who swear by them, i know far more who don't) and certain tests actually pick up on this substance in urine as evidence of tampering.

And finally as a last suggestion, if you had private legal counsel you should call whoever represented you on whatever crime (I don't care what it is) and ask them what should be done in your situation. They will advise you and you need to understand your predicament better.

Anyways, best of luck,

lol!

Yeah, don't smoke weed while you're on probation is the best choice.


Otherwise, a delay of a few days would make it very unlikely you'd test positive. Assuming you weren't lying when you said you had not smoked before that for a long time, and that it was a small amount (half a hit?).

If you can get away with not calling him back for 2 days, do it. Take some of the things that can trigger a false positive between now and then (Ibuprofen). If the results come back positive a couple days later, they may ask you to retake the test because of the Ibuprofen, and by that point you should be beyond the detection range.


After that, don't be an idiot. Don't violate your probation. The time to be really terrified was 2 days ago at the party, before you decided one hit was okay.

There was advice on this a long time ago, because it's stored in fat cells you need to do one of two things:

1) Don't move off the couch, don't give your body any reason to metabolize fat and it shouldn't show up in your urine.

2) Exercise like a mad man and burn it out of your cells before you take the test.

I think the concurrence was that if the test is soon (w/in a week) go for option 1, if it's later (3-4 weeks) go w/ option 2. I think neither is good enough to put your mind at ease and both may be pretty stupid. I like the idea of calling your lawyer.

no no no

even a small dose (I assume you were stoned because you ripped a bong) will show up for weeks in urinalysis, at the very least you are relying on a proven system failing (which does happen) but a false negative is NOT the norm and CANNOT be relied upon.

P.S. Op everyone posting in this thread with quick fix solutions is a ****** and it will behoove you to be critical as you actually have a reasonably dire predicament

Dude,

Why take a hit if you know your getting tested?
This will most likely show.

I had no idea I was going to get tested. Honestly, I still don't really know if I am going to get tested or not, but I have to assume so. I am on probabtion but it isn't real probabtion. I have been on it for about 6 months and have never even spoking with my P.O. Aside with leaving a message for him when I first was on that he never returned.


This was the first time he tried to contact me.

Go to walgreens and get a home drug test. I seriously doubt one hit will show up in a test, but others on here seem to think it will.

Depending on the sophistication of the drug test even one hit will show.

I should hope you havent smoked with your PO.
What does on probation, but it isnt real probation mean anyway?

OK I'll explain myself. I had a DUI last summer and was put in ASAP (Alcohol Saftey Action Program) I have completed the class. They give everyone a PO although, you aren't ever required to check in. He just called me out of the blue today.

Please refrain from negative comments reguarding my situation. I know I have made some bad decisions and I paid for them. Getting a DUI was the worst moment in my life. I got stopped for speeding and thankfully no one was hurt.

Drink as much cranberry/grapefruit juice as possible (do a little more research on the specific kind) from what i've heard, this is sort of a hoax, but the less you've smoked, the better chance this might work.

Wow, some horrible horrible misinformation in this thread. OP, please read this carefully

It is virtually impossible for one hit of marijuana smoke to show up 48 hours after you have smoked it, if you are not a habitual user. The reason is the way the protein is stored in your fat cells, it builds up over time and with habitual use.

So if you smoked every day for 10 years, it'll take 2 months of no smoking for your system to be clear

but you havent smoked in a year, and take ONE HIT, and you have a fast metabolism, you can test negative 3 days later, almost always

seriously, trust me. you shouldnt be worried at all

also, regarding being on probation

i would not worry too much about that. i was on probation for a year, and theres two things that could get you out of hot water

1. your officer could decide not to test you, not thinking you are a big risk. this depends on how often youve been tested in the past, if youve tested negative the past 3 times, dont be suprised if they dont bother testing u

2. marijuana is pretty minor, even in the extremely rare case that u do test positive. obviously, this depends on what you are on probation for, and whether your probation officer likes you, your past history, a lot of things basically

but i was on probation, and i did test positive for only marijuana once...my probation officer simply told me "ok you tested positive for marijuana....dont let it happen again"....she didnt really care....she didnt even test me the next time i came in

of course i wasnt on probation for drug charges...and my probation officer was nice and i was always clean cut when i went to see her....wearing very nice clothes and basically coming off as a good member of society....which is of course the complete opposite of every single one of her other clients...coming in with their dunkin donuts coffee wearing their construction hats....ugh

and the 6 days is only to cover their ass, its more like 3, and thats only if ur a fatass, and thats only if u smoked a *****TON

anyways, in conclusion, STOP WORRYING SO MUCH....relax....drink LOTS OF WATER THE DAY OF THE TEST....im talking chug a gallon before u go in to pee....and u should be FINE....99% u pass....gl

It really was a very small amount. It wasn't even a full bowl. It had already been smoked some. I basically just cleared it.

My PO and I have not met yet. I honestly don't even know if he wants me to come in and meet with face to face, however I am expecting it. I guess when I talk with him tomorrow on the phone, I will say whatever I can to delay coming in for at least a few days. I'm not quite sure what excuse I could have, though. I have nice clothes and I am a productive member of society (and working on being a better one)

Im trying to think positive but there is so much mixed info, and my anxiety is through the roof right now

I also have a medical condition called Diabetes Insipidus. So if I don't take my medicine I absolutely must have water all the time and urinate quite frequently


So by not taking my medicine I will need lots of water as well as urinating about every 30 min. I am hoping this could help flush out my system faster
