    I'm applying for new health insurance coverage. A lady called and said she needs to come by my house and collect a urine sample. What will the sample be tested for? I don't smoke cig's, but have smoked some pot...

    she'll probably have to tell you what the sample will be tested for. but dont be surprised if it is for drugs. whenever someone gets in an accident or hurt on the job and i send them to our designated urgent care facility, they are subject to a drug screening. this could be similar. i know certain life insurance policies require testing for existing medical conditions (and other things) prior to taking on a new client. this may also be the case here. you could call them and ask questions before hand and if it is drug screening and you have smoked pot recently you could cancel at the last minute, reschedule and flush your system in the mean time. this is a common practice for those in the know.

    I'm sure it's just a simple drug test for pot...nothing to worry about.

    thanks for the reassurance freak. i delayed the test to next thursday, and am planning on diluting the shit outta my piss at that point. something about giving someone elses piss instead of mine to a health insurance company freaks me out.

    when is the last time you smoked pot? are you a daily smoker, weekly, monthly??

    They will test for pot, uppers, opiates, benzos (vailium and such), meth and cocaine.

    I was a daily smoker until around June...cut down a lot over the past 2 months. I'm at weekly now...the last time I smoked was this past saturday and sunday (i understand that isn't weekly, it was a special occasion). soo, as of the test day, i'll be 10 days clean. from what i understand, i need to start taking creatine 3 days before the test, and drink 64 oz's or so of gatorade over a 2 hour span prior to the test. creatine and specific gravity are tested to make sure the sample is valid. with that much liquid in such a short period of time, i'm sure my THC levels will be low enough to pass, just worried about the sample being too dilute....

    yes, i've done my homework...

    now that i think about it more, i should just borrow some clean healthy piss from someone no?

    Lift a shitload of weights a couple hours before the test. Thats a good natural way to get your creatinine levels higher...or in this case, back to normal range.

    lifting weights no good...thc stores in fat, lifting causes you to burn fat, releasing thc
