1) Yes there will be a drug test 2) It will be after interviews, of course (you only get tested if you receive and accept an offer...)

Well I currently intern at a top 3 BB, think (JPM, GS, MS) and I got urine tested. They did not tell me what I was getting tested for, just that I was going to get tested. They did not even give me a warning either.

Anyways, if your friend hypothetically smokes every weekend or every other weekend, he's done. It's really as simple as that. I know people who haven't smoked for 1 month, who failed.

From me and my friends' experiences, I can tell you that the drug tests for typical summer internships can happen any time between March and May. And unless you're a regular smoker, you should have it all out of your system after about a month. If everyday, then approximately 2 months, give or take metabolism speeds.

drink a lot of water and run a lot (1/2 an hour few times a week). Eat as much light and fibrous foods like salad and other green veggies as you can. stay away from red meat like beef and any sort of carbs. eat chicken or fish if you want to feel satisfied. also go to your nearest gnc and buy one bottle of fiber powder (or tablets) and OD on them (im serious). won't hurt to also buy a bottle of detox (its like $50). If you are a pot head, you can get it all out of your system by using these steps in 2-3 weeks. you will also probably lose 10 pounds.

If you're serious about landing a summer gig, it's best to just stop for awhile before you go in for interviews. Always better to err on the safe side.

My experience is that I got tested after the offer, but I made sure I was clean months ahead. But like others have mentioned, they may test you without warning.

somebody who smokes at parties on the weekend should be clean in a week. if it takes you a month of not smoking and you're still dirty... you were either smoking a good amount of weed daily or your metabolism is ridiculous.

I've been through this exact situation and have examples of people who both passed and failed. PM me for details.

Here is the deal with testing for cannabis. They are looking for a certain amount of THC metabolites (THCOOH) in your urine (generally 50 ng/mL is used for the basic test to determine if they need to use GC/MS for a more precise measure). Now THC, unlike other drugs like opioids or amphetamines, is fat soluble, and not water soluble. Therefore it will hang around in your fat cells for a while instead of simply being excreted within a couple days like other drugs. The general rule of thumb is one month maximum for a heavy or chronic (excuse the pun) user. The range is actually about a week to a month depending on your metabolism, eating habits, exercise habits, etc. Your friend who stopped using a month beforehand probably did not actually stop using a month beforehand. Weekly use you can expect to stop testing positive after 3-9 days, and for single use that range is 1-6 days. (Source: http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_testing.shtml). Now, it appears as though everybody tests generally between March and May (that appears to be the consensus). Therefore, all you have to do is stop smoking by February (though I would recommend a little earlier to be safe). There are things you can do to shorten the window of how long THCOOH is detectable in your blood (exercise, but not right before the test, drink a lot of water as you approach the test, dilute and spike your urine, etc.) but I would recommend the easiest and most foolproof option which is just to stop before the testing. Best of luck to "your friend."

As the self-proclaimed Stoner in Chief of WSO, I will give you all real information from real experience. I have passed 4 drug tests, quitting AT MOST 2 weeks before all of them. Its really not that hard. OF course, it all depends on your body type and how much you smoke. I am a totally normal person with a totally average metabolism, nothing special about me. I recommend stop smoking altogether 2 weeks before the test, although I have passed in as little as 5 days. Yes WSO, you heard right, 5 DAYS (scary as shit, not recommended). I have been a pretty big stoner for years now, 3-4 times a week at least, never keeping it to just weekends. Here's how you do it:

• Water, lots of it. Should be pissing clear from day 1 that you quit smoking. Absolutely necessary
• Cranberry juice, gatorade. Gatorade's got electrolytes and potassium and such whereas cranberry juice acts as a diuretic.
• Exercise. Try to get a sweat going everyday, be it lifting, running, basketball, etc. Need to sweat those toxins out
• Niacin pills. While there is no scientific proof that these help, stoners have been using this for YEARS. Helps in burning fat, where THC is stored. Might get the "niacin flush" but that's no big deal. Don't take a shit-load cause that could hurt you, be smart
• Detox drink. Take this before your test. Hides toxins and shit while allowing you to excrete other stuff that makes your piss normal. I prefer this kind (have used it 3 times myself) and I think it works. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Amazon has poor reviews, but that is very surprising to me.

And there you go, how to pass a drug test. I remember taking mine during Finals before the internship. Would give more information, but I'm writing this as fast as possible.

FUNNY STORY BONUS: I have a friend who took a drug test. They called him, told him he failed......but that, more importantly, he had diabetes. LOL WTF!

I've been thinking about the whole sweating thing for a while now... do you think going to bed at night with 10 blankets on you and sweating it out that way would work?

No need to put down the herb. Buy synthetic urine- QuickFix, guaranteed to pass. Used 3 times and no problems.

are you left alone while you piss?

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww shiiiiiiiiii

yeah, get synthetic piss if you really wanna smoke. hell, get it just to be safe anyways.

so... water + cranberry juice + niacin + running with lots of clothes on/sleeping with lots of covers + detox drink + goat piss just in case (a friend ordered some for his probation and always passed... it came in a pack with a little tube so you could discreetly leak it into the cup)

or just do coke/heroin/ecstasy/lsd/mushrooms/pcp til around 3-5 days before your test. cause you'll be straight

Keep in mind if you drink too much water / pickle juice, it will cause your urine to be diluted to such a level that it does not look natural anymore. This is probably a red flag as well.

Your best bet is stop smoking or try to use somebody else's urine.

you should be fine if you don't drink much water right before your test

so you could always jock it in some briefs or strap a bag (what my friend's setup did)?
