Drug test question?
I do not normally smoke marijuana.
But I did a 3 nights ago while drunk!
I only took 2 or 3 hits.
Since then I took Sure Jell with 100 ounces of water and passed a drug test for a job.
The job didnt work out!
I have another drug test in a day
I dont want to fail it!
Should I take more sure jell?
Or just risk it?
I cant afford to fail the test, so let me know!
one response was that im going to fail it no matter what.
If I took sure jell again wouldnt I pass?

Get up very early before the drug test and drink water water water water. your urine should be very clear. You should pee about five or six times before you even get to the doctor's office.
Rule #1:
Never ever give your first urine of the day. Your body metabolizes things over the eight hours you sleep and all the waste products are now in your urine or stool ready to be excreted. There will be the highest concentration of THC metabolites in your first urine and also when dehydrated.
The idea is to dilute all metabolites until they are undetectable. I work at a laboratory so I am very familiar with the concept of dilution and detection limits. This works for everything, not just marijuana.
When I was in college I got in trouble with the law for class C misdemeanor possession of marijuana. I had to take a monthly test for one year. Passed every one, even after smoking up to three days before the test.
CAUTION:
Overdrinking water can cause hyponatremia. this means your sodium levels will also become diluted. The symptoms are dizziness, confusion and vertigo. It is a dangerous state to dilute your electrolytes but can be safely done by drinking the water over a long period of time. Start drinking the water about 4 hours before the test. Drink about 1.25 gallons total and take some more water to sip.
The frequency of your urination will be much more than normal and you will urinate much faster than your body can produce metabolites of THC. You will notice very clear urine that has almost no metabolites or electrolytes in it.
Good luck and stop smoking pot. I could have done much better in college if I had my priorities straight back then. Same goes for you.
Edit
I don;t think I stressed this enough above. It can be dangerous to drink too much water. Don't go overboard thinking "more is better" If you are urinating once every 30 minutes or so thats plenty. thats a much higher rate than your body's metabolic rate for THC. Be careful.

I'm a medicinal biochemist. This is a very common question I have encountered.
"Two or three" hits isn't a whole lot of THC, and most of the drug will be gone from the body in a few days (it will be converted into a metabolite and then eliminated.) However, some of the drug will remain, unchanged, for a week or more. This is because THC can easily get caught up in body fat, and overtime it will slowly be released into the blood stream, and then finally the urine.
THC is slightly basic, which means that foods that make the urine acidic will help it leave faster. Sure-Jell is acidic, therefore it DOES speed up the elimination of THC from the body by acidifying the urine. I have never seen any studies on this, so I don't know exactly how fast. I do know that drinking lots of Pepsi or Coke is even better.
Foods that slow down excretion are basic, like milk and jell-o or whatever. This is a good thing JUST BEFORE a drug test, because they will help cause the kidneys to remove the drug from the urine and put it back in the blood. Unfortunately, milk and jello are too week for THC, so you'll have to drink something very gross like baking soda mixed with water to take the marijuana out of your urine. I don't recommend this, unless you are desparate.
All people respond differently to different chemicals, so there's no guarantee any of this will work.

yes you should tae something to clean out your system. You need to go to a vitamin store and ask for somthing to clean out your system. It usaually cost around 25 to 45 dollars. You can get something to clean u out an hour before u take your test. drink lots of water and urinate 3 to 4 times before you take your test.

If you can't afford to fail, and can afford the cleaner, it's better to be safe than sorry. Prolly worth the $20 for peace of mind.
