So... I have this hypothetical friend, who rarely (by that I mean maybe three times a year) smokes marijuana. He smoked two nights in a row for the first time in six months this past Monday and Tuesday. On Thursday he was notified that he was going to be hired permanently by his temp assignment and would need to pass a drug test. His employer would like him to take the test next week..... So.... how long does maryjane stay in your system if you're not a habitual user? What's a good way for him to flush his system? Can he pass the test without resorting to smuggling in someone else's piss?

Beats the hypothetical hell out of me. Best bet is to delay as long as possible. If the test can be scheduled for next Thursday or Friday, it's sure better than Monday.

And BTW, my hypothetical friend has passed drug tests after similar intervals.

The layer of "jane" in "this persons" fat is very thin and could pass by just drinking a bunch of water before the test. There are those things that a person can buy at head shops that defeats he test. I had a friend pass with using one of these. I've only had to take a pee test once and I wasn't smoking around that time.

Drink a lot of water, and work out as much as possible. THC binds to fat, so the more fat you ... ah... I mean your friend ... drops, the better off he'll be.
Hydrate and sweat. Hydrate and sweat. Hydrate and sweat.

They also can fail you for drinking too much water, apparently.

The water isn't for the test day. It's to help flush the system when you're sweating the THC out.
But I'd like to see the manner in which they accuse you of drinking "too much water."
A properly hydrated body pisses clear.

Dude, thats a link to a company selling chemicals to clear urine. Of course they're going to claim that plain old H20 doesn't work. It's free. "Flushing" can't be "detected" because it's simply testing for water, which makes up most of urine, anyway. |

I bolded,italicized and underlined the comment above, in case you missed it. jobsearchtech.about.com/od/laborlaws/l/aa090301_3.htmThis is not an ad, but supports the ad. Again, in case you missed my comment about that not being the only place I'd seen it. |

I worked for a company which instituted random testing. The owner was a bit of a stoner, but so it goes. Anyway, one of the people who worked there was a close friend of his, and when his name came up for testing, he did the flush with water thing, the testing agency noted it was pretty obvious he was flushing something, and he had to be retested. So, they know. I can't say how, because I don't know, but they can figure it out. I had a poppy seed bagel the morning before my name came up, and they laughed pretty hard about it, because they said they could tell the difference between a bagel and a drug problem. Now you know everything I know about drug testing.

My hypothetical friend is working-out, sweating, and hydrating, and eating and drinking a lot foods and liquids that help purge the system. He's going to put the test off until after T-Day weekend. He's still nervous, but feeling better about it.

Low fat, too. The object is not to flush the urine sample, but to sweat the THC out of his fat cells, and piss that out as it comes out.
Don't give them the "morning piss" either.
