Unless you're applying to be a cop or something, I doubt they will take a pee test. I've never even heard of this being done for a job. A criminal check maybe but that's about it.
Not a fan of free speech huh?

Get a detox drink from your local head shop, has worked for friends. You drink it and wait an hour or so, then you have a window of time where you will be clean.
The majority of employers (in the US) use pre-employment drug screens.
Mega fail. I've had 7 jobs, going on my 8th, and not once have I been tested.
I love reading all the misinformation in this thread. All I will say after 16+ years of experience is that the only sure way to pass a drug screen is to not do drugs. Other than that hope the person collecting really doesn't give a damn about it and isn't that observant of the collection and you may pass by adulterating the sample.
I've seen all the clean out kits, the wizzonater, the unrinater and heard every excuse from excersizing will release long stored THC to it must be the Advil, Sudafed or your choice of OTC drug excuse ever invented but the bottom line, no one and I repeat no one, has ever beat a GC/MS confirmation and that's the only one that really counts.
You're a moron for thinking your anecdotal evidence has any weight. An AMA study conducted in 2004 found that 62% of employers screened applicants, down from 81% in '96.
You're making an assumption that companies only test for THC. I'll tell you that the majority of our postive tests are not for THC, but for amphetamines or methamphetamines. You better damn well believe that has an affect on performance and safety.
It actually tests for creatinINE. It's a byproduct of creatine. I'm sure you could up the levels with supplemented creatine monohydrate.

Overall most positives are for THC as it can take so long to exit the body and is therefore much more often detected, of course your company may reside in an area where meth manufacture and use are more prevalent. Amphetamines are water soluble and it's metabolites are only detectable for a few days after use.
If an individual is doing meth, a drug test won't be needed to detect it.
Awesome, Good to see this type of info, I wasn't aware of the difference!
Do they (the man) regularly do GC? I understood that a large majority was the simple 5 panel reagent type test.

I know about THC. Bullshit on meth, you need to see how well some of these Appalachia people can carry themselves while testing postive for it, and amphetamine will stay in the system long enough to catch it over the weekend, not to mention the work week. THC is the only drug we allow retests after a 5 day period.
ATOT paging Dr ZaneJohnson...
stay off the pot for a while and apply to more jobs when you're clean? just a wild crazy suggestion
omg rofl
but no, its been said...only way to make sure is to be clean...
however...MOST urine tests use creatine levels to make sure the sample is not dilluted... SOOO, you can waterlog yourself, and take a creatine supplement and piss dilluted enough to not show up, and still have enough creatine to pass the test..
that is what most detox "drinks" you can buy at the headshop do..
