Will I pass a urine test for THC if people smoke around me?
I have a second interview for a job at a tea shop tomorrow, and I suspect that they may test my urine for drugs. I have smoked weed before, but only once in a blue moon, and the last time I smoked was about a month ago. However, my roommate smokes weed every day, and I am constantly around her and friends who smoke. I'm not sure if being around them will affect the results of my drug test. I have never felt a contact high from being around them, but I know that being around the smoke might have an effect. I am considering purchasing a THC test from a drug store but have never done so before and am unsure which would test most accurately without me having to pay an arm and a leg. Do you think I'd be okay? Or should I purchase a test to be sure? And what are some ways I could ensure a clean test (drinking water, cranberry juice, whatever)?

The second-hand-smoke issue for positive drug tests is controversial and remains unresolved. My opinion is there is not enough THC in exhaled air in a room to trigger a positive test, and you have to actually "inhale," but I have colleagues who disagree.
-- Buy a drug store test to set your mind at ease. They are reasonably priced these days -- about US $20-30, and use the same (low) level of technology as the pre-emp drug tests, so if you pass one, you'll pass the other IMO.
-- If you have a co-operative room mate, tell her about your impending drug test and ask not smoke around you for a few days before the test. Every little bit helps.
--All the flushes, juices, herbs, etc are all attempts by mfr's who make the stuff to cynically exploit desperate young people who don't know better. THC sequesters to body fat, and even very slim people who brag about their low body fat and how they won't flunk a drug test are fooling themselves -- everyone has more than enough body fat to sequester THC. You can't "flush" THC out of your system. You only have the drug degradation curve over time as your friend, so use it.

Your test can still show up positive even though you smoked a month ago. I have seen it show up after 90 days on someone. You won't test positive from second hand smoke, but you will test positive if you smoke it yourself.
