Big Job Opportunity

If the company has a problem with your weed smoking, it's probably a bad fit for you anyway. Just go in and don't worry about it.

It's a hospital; a lab job. I'd really like to have it because the salary is badass and the benefits are unbeatable.

At least you're not a loser. You've got that going for you. Troll.

not a troll. just excited about an opportunity to dig myself out of this recession : )

over-the-counter urine drug tests for many different things are available at your local CVS. Most likely the weed will be detectable for a couple months in a good test.

by the way, if you smoke 6 times a week, you're a pothead, dude.

I know sweating helps too and I have a half marathon this weekend. Hopefully they will test after that

and you don't sweat out THC. THC is extremely lipid soluble, and is virtually insoluble in water. What kind of lab job are you getting that you don't already know this?! Go to the Merck index and look it up.

a hit or two a day... just a way to relax after a long day of running and studying. My peers do it WAY more

good idea. website?

Seriously?! The Merck Index!!!!! How will you be working in any kind of hospital lab whatsoever and NOT know what the Merck Index is?!?!?! Google it, doofus. Or walk into any lab in the joint and look on the bookshelves. And stop smoking weed, kid.

WTF. I sincerely hope that you DON'T GET THE JOB.

Admit it, you've got a drug problem - if you're concerned about the fact that you can't pass a drug test because you smoke weed regularly, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

You don't deserve a badass job or its benefits. You should've thought about that BEFORE you became a pothead.

I don't care that the rest of your friends do it waaaay more. That doesn't justify your use, or that you come on here and talk about how worried you are.

Get off of the weed - THEN go look for a job.

Idiot.

or troll...whichever is worse.

You are screwed. You are going to get caught. Best bet is to just be up front. Tell them you smoked some weed recently and know you will come up positive. Take the test and offer to retake in a few weeks to show you are clean. There is no way a hospital lab is going to hire someone who is smoking weed. The med mal insurers would not pay a claim if the lab tech was on drugs. And a plaintiff's lawyer would have a field day if they found out that a lab tech smokes weed.

i don't think you have any automatic quick fix's - i had teammate that drank some absurd amount of golden seal - i think he said it was like a tea - i am sure there is a better weed message board out there to check than lets run though - everyone has to make there own decision about if smoking weed is bad or not - but i will say this - i don't care how little you smoke - if you are smoking each week - let alone 6 times a week - you are a pothead - if you don't want to be a pothead - then stop smoking pot - otherwise - call it what it is and just realize that some of those big jobs are going to be taken from you if you can't pass the test - good luck - and i would suggest checking another board other than letsrun

This is obviously a troll attempt. No post-collegiate hospital lab job salary is badass.

I award you no points...

Thanks to those who responded. I can take constructive criticism and I'm in no position to criticize those who have judged me without knowing me. The fact is, I have done it recently and in a little amount. I am still responsible and intelligent, so I come to this board looking for personal experiences or peoples who have worked in such conditions. I have low body fat and generally, I am very clean about all that I ingest. I have studied much chemistry and biochemistry and have actually worked in the lab setting before and know exactly how THC interacts with the body; especially the fat cells. If anything, dilution will work or synthetic urine. Any personal stories?

And, for my previous work experience, internships and references, the salary is badass for a post-collegiate. It may not be 100k, but it's enough

Drink a lot of water and sweat as much as you can between now and then. You'll probably be fine since you're small, have little fat, a high metabolism, and don't smoke much. Hopefully it's just a one-time test and you won't be subject to random tests during employment (unless you screw something up, then they'll decide to test you).

Are you a medical technology student? Don't those people get paid $50k? (which I think is pretty good)

I have started the whole dilution and detox of my kidney's via cranberry juice and lots of water. It is a one-time thing and I don't think they are too much of stifflers. I figure worst comes to worst I will try an at home test and if it comes up positive I will use a synthesized urine sample.
