    Just giving my testimony.
    Im 5'8 250 pounds and I smoke an ounce a month for the past 6 years. Just flower(2-3g joints) no edibles. I recently stopped due to surgery and was clean for 37 days. Because i was out for over 30 days my job required I take another physical and drug test(lab urine) to return to work. I took both home test and lab test on the same day. The home test was very VERY faint. So faint that you can only see it up close. But like the test says, a ghost line is still passing. 4 days later my lab test came back negative so I was able to return to work. So if you're concerned about lab test results, as long as it shows negative on the home test, there's a 99% chance of passing the lab test. No i didn't detox or drink a gallon of water a day nor drink cranberry juice. Hopefully this will lower some people's anxiety. Good luck everybody

      Thank you for sharing. I barely smoke. Cpl hits a week. An ounce will last me over a year. I've taken at least 12 home tests. All had very faint negatives. Just took the lab test hopefully I don't lose this job opportunity. Shame I can no longer take small puffs once and awhile guess they want us to all be drunks.

      It’s hard to understand but it’s the upper threshold level. It’s saying that it’ll be positive if you have MORE than 50ng in your urine. So it’s possible to have less than 50 but more than 15 ng in your urine. The 15ng means that it’ll be positive if you have more than 15 ng but less than 50.

    • @fireravenv
      @fireravenv 3 місяці тому

      @@SharpieElectricity This is not correct. It will not be positive if you are between 50 and 15 ng. What he's saying is that if you are over 50ng during the initial test, they retest the same sample to make sure its not a false positive. They use a different testing method. It also has a lower threshold for being positive 15ng instead of 50.

    The testing is so unfair. The test should keep people from being high on the job. If you drive big truck or operate heavy equipment, then yes, you shouldn't be stoned I'll kinda agree with that. However, if you haven't used it in over a dang month, then what the hell are we doing. Getting drunk is horrible for your life but extremely acceptable in construction.

      They sent to a lab bc they use a different method. It’s not like a rapid test. They usually use EIA wich is more accurate than a rapid test. If you fail on EIA(50ng) then they have to confirm with a gas test which is even more sensitive at 15ng

      if you arent in yet, and are still in the recruiting phase they will just do an initial dip-stick style 50 ng/ml.
      if you fail that they will confirm at the lab at 15 ng/ml. Once you are in and have passed boot camp, etc they will do random tests, usually monthly depending on your command. theyll pick 10% of the company at random. This was army infantry your job may vary greatly.

    The tests you are recommending do not work. I bought them on your recommendation. Took one and it said I was clean. Let a daily user test. Also came up negative. Please stop recommending them.

      @@EasyDOTPhysicals they are giving false negatives to daily smokers. Buy some and try them. I’m telling you they are faulty. People trust you, these are going to end up costing someone their livelihood. I’m begging you to look into it.

      For confirmatory tests, not initial. If you are over 50 for the initial, 15 is used for confirmatory.
