Am I going to pass a drug screen vs. a drug test?


Hi everyone. I just recently received a job offer and have to take a drug screen at a laboratory before I get it. I have to admit that yes, I did smoke about 2.5 or three weeks ago, and before that I smoked about 5 times that month. I am not a heavy user, as in I usually smoke two or three times a month, and I am very athletic and trim. I work out 4 or 5 days a week so my metabolism is very high. I also drink lots of water, so I am pretty confident that most of the THC found in the metabolites in my urine is gone.

I took an at-home drug screen test (by Pharmatech - the first one to be approved by the FDA) and tested negative. Are these at-home tests similar to drug screens at labs? If so, I feel confident that I will pass it. I understand that drug screens are much different than drug tests.

Also, do you know if there is a questionnaire that we have to fill out before taking the drug screen? Do they ask if you have smoked recently, and if so, do you just say no?

You should have tested the home kit first by smoking a whole dime bag to be sure it works.

i do not think you have any thing to worry about. that is very little thc and you drank lots of water

yeh you will pass it and yeh you just say no. good luck

If it's a urine test you took at home then no need to worry, that's the same one they give at the lab...

u should pass, but be honest....don't lie about smoking...the job would rather have a smoker than a lier

Keep working out thc likes to store up in your bady fat..youll probably test negative..30days is the normal amount of time pot stays in system..although some places are using a hair test. in that case depending on how long they want to go back and what they consider to be acceptable levels you might test positive
