i smoked every day for two years. i wanted to start a better job, so i quit smoking and went to GNC and got some pills in a blue bottle. the bottle will tell you to take 2 a day. i took about 12 to 16 pills a day for two weeks and passed a pee test. as far as blood test. i'mnot sure. but you need to understand that the pill's will cost a lot and also i have had kidney problems from taking so many. if you don't mind the stabbing pains in your kidney's and a slight, some times strong smell in your pee or pooh. and your breath, go for it. i have had two kidney infections. i almost lost one. be very carfule when taking herbs to clean your system. as far as drinking sure gel, pickel juice, vinagar, lots of water, cranberry jucie. they work for many people, but not all. start to cut back your intake or just stop all together and start cleaning out your system. right away

I am also a current smoker, I smoked very heavily for about 3 years. As in I smoked at least 5 out of the 7 days in a week. I wanted to get a job that drug test, so I stopped for a little less then a month. In conclusion I passed the freaking test. Now my job randomly test which sucks hardcore ass, b/c i feel without the weed, life is very dull and gray. The weed also made me very creative and made me motivated to do things. My question is, I hear that there is a tablet called urineluck and u just put those tablets in your urine and it will naturally clean your urine and is undetectable. Is this possible? I sure hope so, b/c I'll have to get me some of that! :) Legalize it! I've read the arguments, and the ones against marijuana are ridiculous. Look at countries like Canada and Australia, its legal there. Why is it there and not here. Give world piece a chance, you never hear of Canada going to war with someone or terrorist attacking there. C'mon

If this can help anyone.... If you need to pass a drug test and don't want to risk using your own pee...here's a method I recently used. Meterials Condom Baby Thermometer Cup Hot water stick pin Paper cloth or small thin towel After getting "clean" urine from a friend. Before the test(after putting on gloves). I pored the urine (enough for a test) in the condom and tied two knots in the condom. Next, I placed the condom in the cup of hot water. Before you go to the test take the filled condom out of the water and take its temperature. Urine from the body is usually between 90 to 95 degrees. Use the thermometer to make sure the urine is in that range before you go in to test. Then, I placed the filled condom in my sock wrapped in a paper towel next to my skin(you could place it anywhere long as it is close to your skin). Once I got in the bathroom to give the sample I took the pin and poked a small hole in the condom and let the condom drain into the sample cup. Done! I hope this helps someone...

I smoked for 10 years, heavily. I was locked up from May 9th, 2003, until July 5th 2003, exactly 2 months, and when I was released, I was tested for drugs, and I was proven to be clean. Therefore, I would say for a heavy everyday smoker, it will take about 60 days for marijuana to be out of your system completely. I no longer smoke the way I used to, due to drug testing now. I get tested every month, and occasionally I take a few tokes of good smoke, ((3 blunts total, usually between the day I get tested(after testing), and the following days after)) here and there during the first week after I get tested, just enough time for me to be clean for the next test date three weeks later. Don't push it guys! I have a fast metabolism which also helps, and I'm 185 pounds, six feet tall. I also use Niacin, which also helps to detoxify your system. Make sure you purchase plain NIACIN, not niacin mixed with vitamin b-3 or anything else. Must be pure Niacin at least 500mg dosage. Take 1 pill for breakfast, 1 for lunch, and one pill at night. Too much will cause liver damage and pain. You will experience a flushing feeling(hotness for about an hour each time you pop a pill), but hey it works! Good Luck!

The chemical in marijuana, THC, is absorbed by fatty tissues in various organs. Traces of THC can be detected by standard urine and blood tests for about 2 days up to 11 weeks depending on the persons metabolism, how much they smoked and how long they smoked. THC can be detected for the life of the hair. Again, the sensitivity of the test ranges from person from to person depending on many factors including the amount of body fat, differences in metabolism, and how long and how much they smoked. The doctors that TeenHealthFX works with will not perform drug tests without talking to their patients first and letting them know what their concerns are. There are guidelines for informing patients about drug testing that all doctors must follow I took this from a website on health,so this isnt the b.s. most people have posted here.Dont smoke if ur on probation,come on,just wait until you get off,quit being such a dopefiends.

well i heard that if u intake a small amout of weed/marijuana the best way to get a positive result is if you drink a lot of water or cranberry juice. my friend who does it says it stays in your system for 72 hours but i also heard from somebody else that it stays in your system for a month. and i also found out if you are in a room with somebody who is doing it if they are still smoking which it is in the air and u are inhaleing it it will take about 3 weeks a lot of drinking water and whatnot to get weed out of your system. jobs these days if they find out you are takeing a controlled substance they have no problem alerting the police because they are expecting young people to be doing drugs.if u have n e questions email me hellrazr2003@yahoo.com

You can fail a drug test any time between the day you smoke and 45 days later. To pass, ( I work for law enforcement, so I KNOW this worked, it worked for my test!) drink water all day the day before till your pee is clear. Then drink water all the next morning. Vigorous exercise helps too. Make sure that your pee is clear before doing the following. Buy Sure Gel *(get it at Publix, Wal-Mart of your neighborhood grocer). Dump the sure gell into a bottle of gatoraid (or something similar - but NOT clear gator aid, like orange or something). drink the whole thing of gator aid, and the sure gell will coat the inside of your stomach and bladder. Take the test between 1 and three hours later. You pass with flying colors.

Sweet Jesus. Have you smoked yourselves retarded? I only do 1-2 shots of speed a day. That stuff gets out of your system in 3 days tops... I am curious why you guys would smoke that crap if you knew you where getting tested. How many of you will go to prison if your caught. Wising up. I'm glad I'm not as bad as you guys are. Get your stuff together, seek help. I haven't smoked any weed in like 3 years but slipped up here about a week ago. I'm looking to call up for this good job so i regret smoking it. Thanks guys for letting me read all of this.... really helps me a lot knowing I don't want to smoke that stuff and become as dumb as you guys. Your brains got to be radio-active MUSH.

First of all I would like to say sure gel does not clean out your system, it is only a geletin to make preserves, so give the sure gel to someone who makes jellies and preserves. I do know that a couple of years ago I smoked weed on a Sunday night and took AZO( Urinary tract infection medicine), purchased by a friend at Wal-Mart. When I took my drug test on Monday the test came back negitive. This stuff will turn your urine red until everything is cleared out. So take it ahead of time. Or just go get a penicillin shot, which costs a lot more, but it works. I haven't smoked since August 2002 so I don't have to really worry about it anymore. Just thought I would try to help. But always remember what works for one person does not always work for another. If you have more questions email me at lajoya192002@yahoo.com.

if YOU REALLY AND TRULY WANT TO PASS A DRUG TEST THEN LISTEN UP. ONE HOUR BEFORE YOUR TEST, TAKE A MOUTHFUL OF BLEACH AND SPIT IT OUT. DO NOT SWALLOW IT!!! SPIT EVERYTHING OUT YOU CAN POSSIBLY SPIT OUT. IT WILL TASTE NASTY BUT IT IS SAFE AND IT WORKS. AFTER YOUR DONE SPITTING IT OUT, THEN DRINK AND DRINK WATER UNTIL YOU CAN'T DRINK NO MORE. THEN PEE!!! NOW YOU ARE READY TO TAKE THE TEST AND NOTHING IS DETERMINED IN THE URINE THAT YOU HAVE BLEACH IN YOUR SYSTEM. WHAT HAPPENS IS... THE BLEACH GOES THROUGH YOUR SYSTEM AND KILLS ANYTHING THAT WILL FAIL YOU IN A DRUG TEST. TRUST THIS, I AM AN EMT AND MOST OF US EMT SMOKE POT. WE JUST CARRY AROUND A VIAL OF BLEACH JUST IN CASE AN UNEXPECTED TEST DOES COME UP. NO ONE HAS EVER FAILED THIS TEST AND THE LITTLE AMOUNT OF RESIDUE OF BLEACH THAT IS STILL IN YOUR MOUTH IS NOT GOING TO HURT YOU. SO IF YOU WANT TO SMOKE AND PASS A DRUG TEST, BLEACH IS THE WAY TO GO. GOOD LUCK!!

LISTEN UP EVERYONE! No one can tell you how long marijuana will stay in your system. There are way to many variables, IE. weight, metabolism, and usage. For the average Joe (medium build, and weight) probably looking at 7 to 10 days, IF you ONLY use occasionally (1-3 times a week) and do not smoke large amounts when doing so. This however, is NOT written in stone. As far as masking agents most tests, TEST for those too. Other products (non-masking agents) I'm not sure about. The bleach, visine, ect. dropping that in your urine? Nice try, but stop rationalizing with yourself thinking it would be that easy. Don't you think someone with a college degree, which you obviously do not have, would of thought of that before you did? FYI, the longer you smoke regularly the longer it can stay in your system, probably around 40 days maximum (again not written in stone). Even if you have only smoked ONE joint EVER, and your around second hand smoke that can also cause the THC to be retained longer in your fat cells. Want to understand how it works? THC is stored in your fat cells and is released over time. There is NO WAY to speed up this time. The time it takes to release all the THC build up depends on many, many factors. If you flush your system there is a window; usually 3-6 hours. After that the body releases more THC from your fat cells and your hot again. ANY form of THC introduced to the body after the fact WILL slow down the speed at which the body releases the THC. This INCLUDES second hand smoke. To be safe stay away from it all together if your going to be tested.

last i heard marijuana cigarettes leave your system fastest if you mix the following combination: 1/3 cup of bleach, 2 drops of visine, 3 tablespoons of dawn dish detergent (IT MUST BE DAWN), 1 half cup of sea salt, 1 can of chili, 2 sips of mountain dew--next you must boil this combination for approximately 16 minutes and 27 seconds (this must be exact) next allow the mixture to stand until the next full moon--after this shake the potion vigorously for 1 hour--then soak the very tips of your pointer fingers in the blend for 3 hours (if you cannot use your fingers as a result of some cruel mishap of nature--you can use your big toes--if you can't use your big toes well you're pretty much screwed) after soaking your appendages you then must shake the mixture for another 45 minutes then say the following three to six times, depending on how much you smoke: "POT OH POT LEAVE MY PEE WITHOUT A SPOT I HAVE A TEST AND CANNOT BE CAUGHT" then drink the remainder of the mixture and then take a bath immediately. trust me this is a sure way to get the toxin out of your system every time--fool proof only if you follow the directions to the letter...your welcome.

About three weeks ago I came to this website, frantically hoping for a miracle to detox my system. A lot of the information wasn't really of any help, so now I have returned to post a useful response. Until about four weeks ago, I was a full time smoker (3 times a day for about 3 years). I decided to quit so that I could get a better job and better my life. I was clean for 23 days when I took my test and I passed. The truth is, THC is absorbed in the fat cells of your body. The more you weigh, the longer it takes to clear your system. My best advice to all of you is to drink a lot of water, take Cran berry pills, and above all excersise. Just to put this advice on a scale I weigh about 120lbs. It takes longer as the weight increases. However; the best advice I can give all of you is that you should quit for benefits other than getting a better job or passing your probation drug test, like feeling healthier and better about yourself. Also, give yourself at least 6 weeks to get clean (even if if might not take that long), believe me it will spare you a lot of stress.

I have smoked pot now for approximately 3 years on and off. I hold a professional job have not called in once and am well respected at my place of employment. Everyone who says pot is bad probably never smoked it. Because I work unpredictable hours I smoke marijuana to help me go to sleep. I have never used or abused any other type of street drug or prescription drug and have never thought about it. Marijuana has many valuable medical purposes. I just hope that everyone can see the side affects of marijuana are far less than that of prescription drugs that are given out everyday. Prescription drugs are a mixture of chemicals while marijuana is from the earth. Let It Grow!

Hello, I'm a Yale graduate holding a PhD. in Chemiosmology and another PhD. in Bio-chemistry as well. I stumbled upon this site on accident and realized that everyone involved with this forum was severely uninformed, or the information they did posses was inadequate/laughably untrue. The truth is that if you are of normal size:weight ratio and not morbidly obese, any drug (including marijuana) will be expelled from your system under normal circumstances within 10 days MAXIMUM. Another suggestion I have is for everyone to decrease their drug intake and perhaps read or go to school. It seems to me that a majority of you are largely uneducated and obviously your actions are unruly because of it. Have a nice day.
