i doubt any of the self test kits give you levels.......the govt. issued test ( :cry: ) do show levels, which is good and bad. Good because if you really are no smoking they will see that the levels are slowly dropping, bad cause the test that gives levels is a good test and will pickup even small (low) levels which is all the govt. needs to say 'you are bad'.


i hate that i know this :cry: :cry:

Wow, thanks Pojodick!! :roll:

Just wondering how common drugs testing is in America, I have never come across it in the UK and imagine the British public woul be outraged if they started getting tested, infringement of human rights etc etc.

I can understand it fir jobs where public safety is at risk but otherwise it just seems unnecessary.

You`d be suprised, drug testing is becoming more and more common in the UK and things are only gonna get worse.

its not 'everywhere' here but it is not uncommon either. in some areas then even test school kids who want to participate in extra curricular activities......so if they want to do something that may hlp them stay awya from drugs and the like they have to pass a piss test...yeah that is comforting and makes them want to do that.

Back in high school we had drug tests, it started my junior year. They did hair samples too which contain THC for a lot longer than piss. It definitely sucked...I went to a private school - they'd never pull that in a public school I don't think. It was supposed to be "random" with everyone getting tested at least once a semester, but of course all the "potheads" were tested multiple times "randomly". Good thing I wasn't much of a smoker back then (this was in like 2001-2003).

I had a mate on my track team who got tested on a Monday after he had been smoking the weekend before (and probably fairly regularly before that) and it came back negative. I also had a friend who had never smoked test positive. So I would say there is good cause to question/fight the results of those tests, even though they swear they're 99% accurate...because obviously they're not.

I also had piss tests for a job I had at a corporate office in high school, but that's the only job I've ever had that's required them.

Also, one thing about drinking a shitload of water....if your piss is too diluted they will most likely retest you...so like the day of the test it doesn't make much sense to chug a gallon of water. By then it probably won't matter anyway.
