Is pot legal in your state? Then I wouldn’t worry. If you’re taking something else, they shouldn’t hire you.

OP here. The HR rep wasn't too impressed with my COVID excuse and said she would have to ask about getting me a delay. What's kinda funny is my brother was actually exposed the same week so it could have been a valid reason for delaying. In the interim (and for about a week before that) I exercised like crazy. Bought 3 Equate tests from Walmart (pot only), failed the first one and then tried drinking a ton of water and passed the next try. On the morning of the test I drank a ton more water, took a bunch of B2 and passed! TBH it's possible I might have tested positive and they ignored it, but I doubt it.

The HR rep didn't get back to me about the potential COVID delay so that's why I decided to get the test done before my order expired. I would rather have lost the job to a positive test than to have them just renege on their offer because I was a no-show to the test. I did the test about 11 days after I last smoked. Oh yeah, and my COVID test was negative too!

Yep, get a kit from Amazon or the drug (ha) store to check ahead of time. Do NOT do the niacin thing unless you're really careful and know what you're doing. It can make you violently ill. Buying clean piss is also a good idea although honestly it's probably overkill in this case.

This is probably true, but you can say you are waiting on covid test results to come back for someone you were in conact with


+1 perfect excuse


Then we will expect to see the results to see if we were exposed when you interviewed, etc.

It’s far from a perfect excuse, again if it’s weed, just take the test.


Don’t take the advice to take the test anyway. Take the advice that you are waiting on covid results due to close contact. In fact, maybe even go get a covid test to back up your story.

the fact you suggest they lie and then add professional to your signature is a joke, clearly you are not professional or ethical.


funny, I expect HR people to lie through their teeth whenever I have to deal with them


+1, in my professional experience, every HR person is a lying sack of shit.

I used one of those cleaning kits once, followed instructions to the letter. It actually wasn't a ton of water, surprisingly. But it worked.

I've also heard niacin and a ton of water to be essentially the same as a cleansing kit.

I promise I do not work for them, but if all else fails....quick fix it (and search forhow to substitute on drug tests, literally how to smuggle it in and keep it warm)

https://www.quickfixurine.com/

Works for me! My chubby self-medicating with cannabis self passed several government contractor tests using this. If it is something else no judgement, we all have vices...

$50 well spent if it is something you can not afford to lose...


there are cheaper formulations out there but I go with this classic that in its various upgrades from 1.0 on up...has NEVER failed me. If time is of the essence you may get lucky finding some on the shelf in your local headshop but for an upcharge..but to be safe I'd buy it direct from the manufacturer.

if you don't have the "balls" or "tits" to sub- use the COVID excuse suggested above.

Good luck and Godspeed!! Hope you get the job!! I really do!! It's hard out here!!

If you are a longtime pot user, exercising can actually flush the pot that is stored in your fat cells back into your system so that it shows on the urine test in a way that it would not if it were just hanging out in your fat cells.

This is probably the least suspicious option and buys you the longest time. Just make sure you actually go get a covid test.

Can't you just say you're out of town or something? Lots of people travel before they start a new job. Perhaps you're visiting your mother and won't be back in town until Friday?
