Cranberry juice. By the gallon. It dilutes your urine as well as flushes your urinary tract of a lot of lingering THC metabolites that hang out there and in your bladder. THC itself is lipid soluble so it's stored in your body fat. What they actually check for in a pee test are the byproducts and metabolites of the reactions between THC and lipids.

SO. Aside from a good cranberry juice flush, switch your diet briefly to low fat foods and get in a good workout to burn off fat. Less fat = less THC storage. For an occasional smoker you should be clean to everything (including those nasty gas chromatography tests) in 2-10 days.

OTOH, if they want to do a hair test, just walk away. Those things are incredibly unreliable and have a disgustingly huge false positive rate.

YOU ARE AWESOME. :D :D :D :D :D

i was already drinking the cranberry juice to keep the sick at bay, but now i will drink MOAR. these are good sciencey facts to know for future reference. also cranberry juice is way more appetizing than the coffee + raw egg + mustard combination i've been told rids your system of the leftover THC-- never needed to use it before, but damn, i'm glad not to have to. XDDDDDD

The big key is to drink a LOT of fluid before you go in for the test to really dilute your urine. Either they won't care that it's mostly H2O and you will pass, or they'll tell you that you have too high an H2O content and give you a date to be retested, thus buying you more time.

The cranberry juice is my liquid of choice because of the way it flushes the urinary tract, but in a pinch a gallon of water will work too, right before the test.

I don't know WTF that coffee + raw egg + mustard thing is about, unless part of it is to get the leftover THC to adhere to the lipids in the egg? WEIRD.

[laulan]

We had something we were going to do back in December, but I think it's too late now. :/

[betweenthebliss]

we could do it private and just backdate it-- i really don't wnat to let that drop, but the holidays just fucking killed me. :( we could do it via email or in a googledoc even, just to make it go faster?

[ceilidh]

I don't know. To do it right I should have been threading about it for a while, and really, it should be resolving in the next month or so, and now I feel like we'll be cramming it in, and I don't want to do that.

[betweenthebliss]

i don't think we'll have to cram it in-- i mean, if you're still willing to thread it, i think we should start it, at least to have something down on (metaphorical) paper. if we end up having to FTB, then we can decide that when it happens, but i really want to thread this if you're up for it. i would've definitely started it sooner but i was just basically not at the computer at all for two weeks, except to finish yuletide, so it would've probably ended up stalling anyway. now i have nothing to do except my day job and a few shifts at lush here and there, so if we start something today we could have it done by the weekend. :3 :3 :3

I AM SENDING HAPPY FUZZY POSITIVE THOUGHTS FULL OF WRITERLY PRODUCTIVITY ♥

And if I may ask-- where do you plan on moving in 9 months?

[betweenthebliss]

THANK YOU MY LOOOOOOOOVE~

to boston! it's only an hour from where i am now, but it has the grad school i want to go to and several of my best friends, so it's a win-win. XD

[kaiserkuchen]

:D :D

OOH, Boston! I immediately am thinking of The Departed and Clam Chowder, two things that I quite like :DD What are you gonna be studying at grad school? And having friends there is always something that reaaaaaally makes a city appealing, ahh <33

[betweenthebliss]

two things i also like! XD if i get in i will be in a program to get a masters of library science, so i can be a librarian while i write novels. XDDDDDDD and yes, i love rhode island but i pretty much only have two friends in the state, so being close to some others will be nice. :3

[mutantjules]

eeee good luck! also ilu a lot!

[betweenthebliss]

tyyyyyyyyyyyyy ^__^;;;;; ilu a lot too! *curls around* how were your holidays? i think i saw you had a post about them, i have to go back and read it at some point when i have a brain again, rofl. x__x;;;;

[mutantjules]

holidays were decent! not much of a haul but I had a good time, watchin star wars and star trek on the space channel marathon, hung with family, saw Sherlock Holmes and been living on sherlockkink ever since. :D saw a rockin band on new years and it totally kicked ASS. how were yours darlin?

GAHHHH DONT LET YOUR BRAIN MELT OUT YOUR EYESOCKETS *SCOOPS IT BACK IN*
I LIKE YOUR BRAIN, IT'S SHINY AND DELICIOUS
I MEAN - SHIT

[betweenthebliss]

my holidays were good-- just having a week and a half off from my day job was present enough, rofl, and i got to spend 2 days in my house alone which i desperately needed. spent one entire day on the couch in pajamas-- perfection. XD then spent new year's drunk and high and having the time of my life, rofl.

O__________O;;;; have you seen the "mittens the cute kitty" videos? that just reminded me of them quite badly. I CAN SMELL YOUR SPICY BRAINS. XDDDDDDD
