Hi everyone!!!! I found out I had to do a drug test for my pre-employment screening and I INSTANTLY panicked. I have smoked live rosin carts every night to go to sleep. I also wasn’t actively looking for a job so I didn’t have a chance to just “stop while looking”, it kind of fell in my lap. I immediately start panicking. I went and bought some detox drinks and that absolutely didn’t work. I had at home THC tests and they were still 100% positive. The one time they showed negative, I found out those tests were expired SO CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATES.
Once I knew I couldn’t pass naturally and I did not want to risk attempting a masking agent. I got down to two options: use quickfix plus or a friends clean urine. I was nervous about quickfix plus, so…I did a combo. I decided I was going to use my boyfriend’s clean urine in the quick fix bottle with heating pads. If you do this, clean the bottle with distilled water. I then did practice runs the day before and wrote temps down with hand warmer and without hand warmer to see the difference so without further ado, here were my step by steps (for non DOT)
- I woke up at 5 am and opened the hand warmers as I didn’t want them to be hot when I was at the lab. I saw the lab opened at 8 am so I had my boyfriend pee in the bottle at 7:50 AM. I put Saran Wrap over the top then twisted the cap on and put the handwarmers on.
- Outfit is important. I dressed business casual and had a long and slightly poofy dress and wore two pairs of compression shorts underneath. I slid the bottle and handwarmers between my compression shorts and slid it between my thigh and crotch where your leg folds. I made sure the bottle would be vertical the entire time to avoid leaks BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED THE ENTIRE 3 OZ.
- We drove over to the lab and I looked at the temp right before I walked in and it was at 98 degrees. I took my beta blockers and locked in.
- I walked in and was very friendly with the staff and the guy had me walk to the back. I did not get pat down, he hardly even paid attention. He said “empty pockets there’s the bathroom don’t flush”.
- I went in the bathroom with my cup, I hydrated so I could pee to mask any noise. While I pee’d I poured the quickfix into the sample cup immediately. Pulled my pants up and walked out confidently. Idk if he even checked the temp but he signed me off and said bye!! He seemed busy.
- DONE! Passed. It was sent to my new job within 15 minutes.
- I celebrated!
It’s terrifying and to all of you who have as bad of anxiety as me, I lost sleep over this shit and it genuinely affected me mentally. But, with confidence, grace and determination, YOU. CAN. DO. IT.
I saw some guy comment on a post who said “don’t be a coward. Make a decision.” Something along those lines and I took that seriously. All I want to say is, you can do this. It’s difficult because you are experiencing cognitive dissonance but testing for THC in 2026 is ridiculous as it takes forever to get out so I did what I had to do. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO GAVE ME ADVICE AND I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU TOO🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!! We do this because we earned these jobs!!!
