First off, marijuana can stay in your system for anywhere between 2-3 days to several months, average being around two weeks. Someone like me, all big and beautiful put together with the sheer quantity of weed that I smoke, would probably need several weeks to try and clear my system if not more. THC is stored in fat cells, so the heavier you are, put together with the heavier smoker you are, things could get difficult. But then again, I'm not too sure I'd work some place that would drug test me for weed. Most everything else I understand, but weed? You know how many employers would be screwed if they tested all their employees?
There are different tests that look for different things. There are some tests that don't even bother looking for weed, thank goodness. You can typically go down to your local Rite-Aid and pick some of these tests up. A lot of times, employers use these same tests. It might be wise to try it out, especially given that you shouldn't be over confident about these things when it could result in job issues.
Easy ways to clean your system are obvious. Water and lots of it. It will dilute the urine and greater your chances of a false positive. Cranberry juice is also awesome for cleaning the system out, and any drink containing vitamin B, which can be found at a store like GNC. A deluded urine sample can also be a little suspicious, they may ask you to produce another sample. If you get a detox drink from a health food store like GNC, be sure you take a B complex vitamin, it will return your urine to yellow. Do not however take the vitamin the day of the test, it will turn your urine neon yellow which will be a red flag to the tester. High calorie meals and exercise will also be beneficial, they raise the body's metabolic rate, another way to detoxify the body.
There is also a saliva test. Don't smoke pot for 24-48 hours before the test, brush your teeth, floss, gargle, even use Altoids, it will all kill germs.
Then there are the more aggressive ways to deal with the situation. Fake urine, yes it's out there. At your local paraphernalia shop, they should have an array of battle gear for you. Detox pills to take, additives to put into urine, all sorts of things. The person working the counter should be able to recommend something at least based on popularity. Also, there are many places online to find these types of things. Do keep in mind that the sale of synthetic urine for the purpose of passing drug tests has been banned in at least ten states, that may not be the best way to go.
Note, tampering with a drug test could get you into trouble. Depending on the company's policy, it could bar you from employment and possibly face legal action. If asked to do a drug test, always remain calm, sometimes they just bring it up to see your reaction. Prolong the test for as long as possible, the more time you have, the better.
Lastly, if you fail the test, don't panic. Tell them that it simply isn't possible, and don't volunteer anymore information. As far as you knew, there as absolutely no reason you should have failed that test. Be confused, not pissed. Ask if there is anything you can do in this situation, maybe retest at a later date, because that is your best chance if you still wish to gain employment there.
I'll tell you now that I have never had to take a drug test, however it's amazing how many people I know have had to over the years. My mom's boyfriend once used the additives that you put into the urine, and while I didn't hear specifically how it played out (I don't think I was supposed to find the empty bottle so I never bothered to ask) he obviously got the job, so I know at least some of this stuff works. I am sure there are other nifty little tricks, Google it, that's where I got some of my knowledge and I know there is more information out there. Let me know if you find anything interesting!
