My husband is a heavy user and I partake from time to time. I've applied for a job with an organization that says it may do drug testing and I'm wondering what the chances are of me failing a test for it. Does second hand smoke contribute to how much you have stored in your body? And how long before being tested should a person stop completely in order to pass the test? Could my second hand exposure make me fail it anyway? Any tips?
Thanks!

It depends. Are you chubby?? THC is stored in fat cells, so if you are heavier it will stay in your system up to a month depending on how much you smoke. Nobody ever failed a test from second hand smoke, if they did they're lying and are bigger pot heads than you. If you are active and drink a lot of water THC will be out of your system in a week or two. I recommend Niacin to get it out of your system completley. You can buy it at any GNC. Hope this helps...

I am a bit overweight, so chances are it will stick with me for a while. I share a joint with my partner maybe twice a week, and I'm actively running around the house every day after my children who are 5, 2 and 1 and I think that's pretty good exercise. I will concentrate on drinking a lot of water until I know more about what's coming up. And about the niacin, how much shold I take...more than the daily recommended dosage? Is it water soluble?
Thanks again!

The only method I know of for passing the drug test (as a heavy user) is to know which day, and round about which time they plan on doing the test.
Drink water. Lots of water. Skull back a 1.5 litre bottle of water. Then repeat the process until your urine runs clear.
Congradulations, you will now pass the drug test!
Sure, your urine will have a suprisingly high water content, but thats ok.
(how do ya suppose people pass the test in jail?)
I was interested to hear about that other method. It sounds much more pleasant. Could you say a little more about it Billy Jones?
