Yeah, indeed as you have said – you are most likely going to be all fine if you are going to stop with the opiates for a few days as their half life is really short so by the time you’re going to have the test – they are going to be out of your system. But it is also true that you’ve got to stop using them AT ALL, not even the slightest dosage should be administered. If so you’ll pass it. in order to make sure go and buy a home drug test and you can test yourself before you are going to take the real test so you’ll know preventively if you would pass it or not. well, regarding getting of the real opiates… I have done something about it in the past and it has been that I was using tramadol as a substitute in order to lessen the withdrawals from the opiates. And I recommend you tramadol due to the fact that it is requiring a test of its own to get detected and that is why, usually, most of the companies are not going to test for it (but of course, the best would be to completely stop using everything, but I do realize it is near to impossible and that’s why I recommend you this). you know… you might find a clue as to what kind of test if you are looking very carefully at that offer of the employment letter. Analyzing it carefully is what I recommend you to do. I tell you this because I already had to take some UAs a couple of years ago and that’s why I am quite familiar with the entire process and everything else (as I’ve also been in the situation you’re in and so I do know what you want and what you are feeling like and I’ve also been searching as much info about it as it was possible).
Also, make sure that that you are going to drink a lot of water (not too much though) and in approximately 72 hours or so (which means that you’re going to be fine by the time you take the test) the opiates are going to be completely out of your system, or at least sufficiently to pass the test normally.
Honestly, I have never had the nerve to use some fake urine besides if the test is onserved then you are going to be screwed up anyway… there’s also something else, another option for you that might be quite a good option IMO and it is that you can go and find a doctor that is going to prescribe you something with codeine in like cough syrup (because it is not that hard to get a prescription for it). so well, when you are going for the test then just bring your prescription with you as well as the codeine cough syrup in order to show them so when they will test and if they find something then it is quite likely for you to tell them that it is the syrup and so you are going to pass it.
But I honestly don’t know what to tell you about the pot use… I think that you can simply put your screwed THC sticks to your fatty cells and take a very and very long time to clear out of your system… that is why, I guess that something like the fake urine may be the only rescue that you might have. not sure. But if they are going to see it, if they are going to catch you, then this is going to be an immediate fail as much as I know. maybe… the only chance is that in case you are living in Washington or maybe in Colorado or maybe in some other state in which they have legalized mmj or simply straight mj then you might get a pass in case the company that you are applying for is also in agreement with this (because I’ve heard about companies still not wanting employees with mj in their blood stream even if in their state this is legalized). There’s a friend of mine living in Washington who told me about such a story. This does work for the federal government in some way so you are going to need to pass a federal drug test and as far as they are being concerned pot it is a complete and big no and it really does not matter of what the states are saying.
But once again, like I have already said it earlier, nuy a drug test actually several so you are able to test yourself several times, you might try to take it now and see what are the results. then wait for as much as you can (3 or 4 days) and later do it again in order to see if you are still going to test positive for either one of them.
But as much as it seemed to me that you’ve understood it… your main and biggest problem (what you’ve got to be concerned about) it is the pot and not the codeine. In case you are going to test positive for the codeine then they are going to think that you are, in fact, doing heroin but opiates are way much more soluble and that is why they are flushing out quite quickly out of the system. Besides, I also think that it is quite important for you to remember that your body does not have to be completely free of whatever they are testing for, it only needs to be below the detection threshold (detection lower level). You see, in case the pot is still going to be there in the system after even 3 or 4 days then you’ve got to compare the color that you are getting on the first day dollar to what you are getting on a day 3 or 4 and in such a case when it is being lighter then there is some hope for you to get through it. maybe, not sure, but maybe, drinking a lot of water might be helpful. however, if it’s going to be on the other hand when it might be the same as on the first day then it is sure thing that you are screwed.
Whatever the case, I still think that it is worth trying it, what else to do? I don’t think that simply giving up is a better idea. But that’s why I do not smoke pot and I always refuse to, it is for this very reason. I really hope that you are going to find this at least somewhat helpful and you will get through this.
Sure thing is that you need to stop with the codeine intake or to get a script for the cough syrup with codeine and you need to be fine with this. but you’ve got to somehow sweat the pot out of you. besides, it also depends a lot on the company itself and where you are. For example, for a smaller company in the California they are tested for pot and some other drugs as well, but even if the company still detects the pot then they are letting people slide for the positive for it. they simply do not care about it. the first thing is because it is in California and second it is because the company is small. This was even before they legalized it, not talking about now.
You can search and ask for their policies and etc. that’s because you are not going to get the job for sure in case the company does indeed care about testing positive for the THC, however I think that there might be an option and it is to be straight up with the company hr or the person who is hiring you about the pot usage. That’s when you know almost for sure that you are screwed anyway. I guess that this should be applied in the last place as a last option. this might make them think that you are honest and they need honest people I think. not sure, maybe it is only me but I have always been paranoid about failing drug test and it is irrational however I think that it is creating some kind of a record somewhere that it is following you around.
As soon as you are taking a piss test in case the company is contacting you within 24 hours you are fine in case you fail a MRO medical records officer usually an MD or somebody working with a doctor. anyway, I’ve tried to help and I really hope that it will somehow, at least I’ve honestly tried to cover pretty much all of the things regarding this problem and I really hope that I’ve succeeded and I’m really sorry if I haven’t. I wish you good luck with that test and I hope you’re going to be all fine.
