There is no fucking bank cut off. This is .08 legal limit. They can do whatever they want. Man, I truly pity people that are so addicted to something that they can't hold off for a month or two in order to get a highly sought after job/career.

 

Terrible advice in this thread, and fuck you haters. Who are you to judge someone else's lifestyle choices?

50 ng is the cutoff for the urine test. If you fail the initial screen or if it's not clear, they send it to the lab where they run a more precise test with a 15 ng cutoff. This means you really don't want to fail the first round. PM me for more details.

seriously?

You have 14 kids and you're on welfare? I'm judging you. You beat your wife and/or kids? I'm judging you. You have are able bodied, have no job, and are not seeking employment? I'm judging you. You weigh 450 pounds and are getting a third round of food at the Waffle House? I'm judging you. You're a trustafarian who is too stupid to lay off pot for a month or two before your summer internship? I'm judging you.

I sometimes think this country would be a better place if shame was reintroduced into society. Too many people do so many stupid things and feel not a single ounce of shame.

The thing is that if you're a heavy user, it can take more than a month or two which is cause for concern so some of these questions have merit. It's 50 ng, a test at your nearest pharmacy will be just as accurate. Use your first urination of the day since it'll be the highest concentration of THC.

There's no merit because there's no fucking point then. What's done is done and the limit is what it is. That's like someone drinking 10 beers and then getting in their car and asking what the legal limit to drive is. And if the intent is to cheat it, there's also no fucking point to asking the question. IT'S JUST A STUPID FUCKING QUESTION THAT HAS NO POINT TO ASK. KEEP DOING DRUGS AND CHEAT, OR STOP DOING THEM.

... what? Nobody mentioned cheating. There are ways to prepare that don't involve using synthetic urine, or someone else's for that matter. And if a repetitive post is what gets you worked up, well I'm surprised you use this site at all because that's just about all of them.

 

MRB - It is a lifestyle choice bro. Shit, I can understand dudes in the hood needing to get high all the time. Their lives fucking suck. But no ones life sucks so hard that they need to get SO high that a month or two isn't enough detox time like a potential investment banker.

Best advice I can give, besides not being a moron, is to just pay for your own drug test and see the results. In the mean time lay off the shit, pound the detox tea and hope that it helps push you under whatever limit there is.

And to all the kids reading this post, let this be a lesson to you. Stop doing drugs as soon as fall recruiting starts. Your white bread life isn't so dire that you need to get high. Plenty of people with a little self restraint and common sense just waiting to eat your lunch.

He's on WSO; definitely not a dude "in the hood."

Plea to the mods: Can we please ban people from asking about drug tests? It's the same fucking question every time, it comes up literally 3x a week (at least), and it's starting to get ridiculous and dilutes the rest of the forums.

 

I just wanted to know what the cutoff was for drug tests so I can do a trial run before completing the real test. I'm a perfectionist and I try my best to control uncertainty. Yet all of your jimmies were rustled over a simplistic inquiry on the logistics of the hiring process. In the words of the troll, why you mad bros?
