its time or close to it for me to be changing jobs again, Funny how these things sneek up on us. i thought i had a job for life. i still do but i need to look around asap as i have no confidence or trust that new mgt can turn things around or not screw me in 9 months with promises i dont think they have any intention delivering on.
 
that being said- does anyone have experience using the kits out there that flush the system such as zydot etc. i got a few days clean. i figure i need a month and of course there is an opportunity knocking at the door. an good ops in the mortgage business right now are hard to come by
PLEASE HELP!
any bonafide firsthand feedback is appreciated.
please no comic remarks- not in the greatest of moods duh,,,,
i see liguids and pills and combos on the net.

I have only a little experience with drug screening, and I have never tried any detox stuff. I do know that drug tests are very specific, and they don't necessarily test for Marijuana. For the one drug test I had to take years ago, (life insurance policy) I asked about what they test for, and was told, opiates and cocaine only. I know my experience may be different from what you are put through, but I think you have a right to know what they are testing for, after all, the tests are not full proof. Best of luck with your impending change.

its the only illegal i do  
thanks
been there done that!

Well, better hope web search isn't part of their process...

I am actively involved in drug screening for pre employment, one way is just to drink lots of water, this has the same effect as any detox method, it will dilute and then flush any metabolites out of the bloodstream.
We tell all testees not to drink the water from the cooler prior to the test
Non evidential drug testing(using the urine test cassettes) is looking for the METABOLITES not the drug
Evidential drug testing where the urine sample i it is sent away, the drug is detected by chromatography.
Some companies use hair testing which is far more accurate and cannot be masked.
I would give yourself at least a couple of weeks free but certainly give the water method a try.

Hey this stuff really works!!!....but drink lots of water & dont eat before taking it. http://www.google.com/search?q=omni+clean

good thought bob
thanks k man

All of the cleansing products involve drinking lots of water.  Guess what?  M&Ms work too, IF you drink lots of water.  Get the picture?  Of course this may not be necessary. A casual user will be clean in about 7-10 days.  A heavy user (daily) will be clean in about 30 days.  If you use the water method, it is actually better to drink juice.  Copious amounts of water will visually dilute your urine which may result in a specific gravity test which will reveal the dilution.  Juices, milk, liquids with color are less likely to result in visually detected dilution.  Also, NEVER give up your first pee of the morning.  Drink & pee, over and over again for the day preceding the test.  Finally, if you are asked if you are on any medication, tell them you've recently taken some Advil.  Ibprophren is known to cause false positives for THC on the EMIT test (that's the cheap test most often used in the employment environment).  A slight positive will be explained by the Advil.  You should be o.k.
 
Bill, tgo

I was just tossing that out there.  I have heard of it being done as part of the general screening process, but I'm in high tech and was working specifically for/with internet companies.  I wouldn't really expect that sort of thing from bankers.

Tommy Chongs Urine Luck has worked for me and my crew in the past. Check it out but I dont know if this is still available.

The only time I was ever tested was two days since I had last imbibed and I got the job. I don't know if I passed as I never saw any results and didn't have the nerve to ask for them, but I did drink enough enough water to probably bring me close to water toxicity levels..... or whatever it's properly called.

Send me your address, and I'll send a ziplock bag full of pee.
 
Hahahaha. They might think you're pregnant, though.
 
Speaking of being pregnant...

Britney's sister is pregnant, and I need money to buy her a nice gift.
