I have severe arthritis in my hands and shoulders. I was prescribed medical marijuana for pain management. it worked incredibly well for a year. as an independent contractor I had no problems. recently, I got an offer for an excellent job that pays very well. I explained the situation to my employer. for insurance reasons we held off on starting work until I was able to pass a drug test. I have abstained from my prescribed drug and have just muscled through the pain for a month an a half, yet I still cannot pass a drug test. this is madness. I know I will eventually pass, but this means that I can no longer use a medicine that has improved my quality of life. I guess i'll just go in and get a prescription for oxycontin. i'm sure that will make everything better.

This trick came from a friend from a few years ago (maybe a decade now) and he swore by it. Apparently, THC is released during fat burning. You can trick the system to temporarily clean up your urine with some techniques in combination. Do this for 3 full days before hand: get a massive (like two hours on exercise bike) sweat going (followed by some time in the sauna) while chugging a shit ton of water with lemon and lime in it - you'll urinate a lot. The night before do the massive sweat thing and then eat a MASSIVE fatty beef steak for dinner. You may also want to double it up with one of those one night a urine purifier (cleanse) from a health store.

Also, I recall that the first urine of the day is most potent. If you have a bunch of water in your system and show up when it's the third or fourth go it might help.

To make sure this is working, can you get a viable home test to check?

i'm confident i'll be fine very soon. the problem is I have a medical condition that is handled very well by moderate marijuana use. unfortunately, it turns out it is not an option for the working class because bureaucrats have determined that they know best. its given insurance companies yet another loophole to deny claims. so employers cant risk having someone on their payroll who isn't covered due to a prescribed medicine. so whatever. I don't like it, but I obey the law. because I learned long ago the law isn't applied equally, and people don't really care.
