Drug Testing

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
My brother has been offered a well paid job (he's been unemployed since leaving school and he's 18) but he has to take a drug test. It's the peeing in the cup kind. How long does cannabis stay in your system?

I've a feeling he isn't going to be getting the job after he takes it :(

    Depends how much of toker he is. Heavy use will mean it satys in his system for over a month.

    I'd say at his worst he does it everyday and when he hasn't got much money three times a week. Oh well.

    I think if you smoke regularly over a prolonged period you can be talking months before you can be confident of passing a drugs test.

    Tell him to get some pish off someone else who doesn't do drugs - then he's sorted.

    That would involve beng there when he took the test. Nah, I think he's realised he's going to fail.

    One excuse he could say is "I was in a car with a few mates the night before and they were smoking cannabis so some must have got into my system from that" He might get away with that but it would mean he would have to quit after that in case they tested him the future and it's quite hard to get someone to stop smoking cannabis when they don't really want to.

    Does he want to cut down on his smoking? TheKnow cannabis website may be of interest, they say it can help you assess your cannabis use, its impact on your life and how to make changes if you want to. It isn't patronising and its easy to use.

    No, he doesn't give a shit.
    As I have already said this might work

    He's on the dole and doesn't have much money. The test is Monday. He didn't care enough to even go get a urine bottle from the doctors like I told him so he can take a sample of someone else's pee with him!

    No, it sounds like the sterotypical stonner, most people who use cannabis are so invisable that no one takes any notice. Its only the lazy fat ass stonners who get the attention so everyone thinks all smokers are like that.
