  1. 1

    I recently received a job offer that is contingent on passing a drug test, and I'm feeling anxious about it. The company tests for THC, and having a medical card doesn't exempt me. I stopped smoking as soon as I got the call, which has been about 12 days now. I'm a nightly smoker, and while I’m athletic and active, I currently have around 20% body fat. I've taken several home tests—about 6 or 7—and they all show faded lines. I know the test I took last night would likely be flagged for dilution since I drank a lot of water before the test. This morning, I took another test with a more concentrated sample, and while the line was fainter than before, it was still there. Now, I'm just 48 hours away from the official test, and I'm debating whether to trust that I can pass with my natural urine or if I should resort to a quick fix. I really prefer to avoid using synthetic solutions if possible. I’m looking for advice on what I can do in the next couple of days to improve my chances of passing.
