Help me out here /fit/. My girlfriend just had a preemployment drug test, and she is worried troubled about what might happen. The drug test is the standard 5 panel drug test with a 50 ng/ml THC cutoff for the screening, and 15 ng/ml THC cutoff for the GC/MS/MS confirmation test.

We are both regular weed smokers, however, we both stopped about 6 weeks ago (42 days ago) when she got her initial interview... after waiting 3 weeks for a call back, we didn't think she would get the job, so we resumed smoking once a day for about 3 days... then she got a call back to come in for another interview, and she got the job...

So basically, we smoked for 3 days, 3 weeks ago, and were clean for an additional 3 weeks before that.

She took an at home drug test (pic related, same brand and product), and passed it with a faint line (the instructions say that no matter how faint the line is, a line is a pass, and the instructions also say that they also use a 50 ng/ml THC cutoff).

tl;dr basically my question is: Do you think she passed the lab screening today based on the information given to you? I know that if she failed the screening and it goes on to the GC/MS test, she is fucked... but I think she probably passed the screaning, but she is freaked out.

Tell me whats up /fit/.

inb4 morality lesson.

I'm not an expert or anything, seeing as I don't frequently use drugs or get tested for them, but it seems like she should be okay. After doing it regularly you probably would be able to wash out a little bit pretty easily - I'm pretty sure the cut off is one month until THC is totally out of your system, but that's only if you use it quite regularly. There is a very slim chance I'd say that she will test positive - even if she does, just ask for a new test and not smoke until then and it'll come back negative for sure.

The tests they do will be alot more accurate, she's lost the job.

Actually, if the test they do is a 50 ng/ml cutoff, and the home test you took uses a 50 ng/ml cutoff, the test will be nearly identical...

The test you are referring to is the 15 ng/ml GC/MS test, and they only do that if you fail the 50 ng/ml screening. If she passes the 50 ng/ml at home test, she SHOULD pass the 50 ng/ml lab test.

If it detects anything at all, and she wants to dispute it, they send her, or her samples at least, into a lab to be tested professionally in case there was a mistake.

Lol, I love it when drug users get owned by drug tests.

Weed stays in your system pretty damn long compared to other drugs. Should've just gotten drunk or did something that isn't commonly tested (ie shrooms, lsd)

Wait, so they took the test, then later on called her and told her she got the job?

Doesn't that mean that she's ok? Cause I always thought they waited for the results before hiring anyone.

At least, thats how it's done where I live.
