2014-07-05 15:22:15 UTC
Ok so I have stopped smoking weed as of the 1st of july and I start CDL training on the 21st of July. My smoking history is for the past 6 months I would smoke a joint a day in the evenings after I would get off work and maybe 2 on sundays. My question is will I be able to pass the DOT drug test anytime after the 21st of july using my own piss or will I need to do something else to pass. Btw I dont really workout all that much, and my down time I spend at home with my fam. Any suggestions would help and thanks in advance.

Pot takes at least a month to get out of a urine test several months for hair or saliva.There are urban myths about beating the piss test but do not bet on it. The last two forget about it. They make you remove your hat and sometimes watch you so using someone else's piss is out of the question.. Drug tests are a way of life for a trucker. If you have to worry about it look for another line of work. Even Cheech and Chong don't want to be going down the road next to a stoned trucker. If it is a multible choice test marijuana is a mild halucigan. As for Joe this isn't a question over morals etc. it is about the law as it related to truckers.

in a tragic irony, alcoholism is socially acceptable even encouraged. people are more responsible and have improved decision-making skills in this area. consider alcohol to be a logical replacement? it doesn't make any sense, i know. but for the time being that is the sad truth.



More specific to your question, it takes 2-4 weeks for most people to pass a urine test for THC metabolite. It can be even less, for persons who have seldom used and/or in smaller amounts.



Hair follicle tests can detect use for 90 days, though many have reported passing in less time.



An angry PA reported that DOT physicals test urine, and would likely go beyond immunoassay. Highly sensitive lab testing (LC, GC / MS) is accurate in its analysis. Not certain what they think of ETG/ETS alcohol testing. Probably not much, for the reasons cited at beginning.

i recently took a drug test for a state position.it was a test i had never seen before.it was a swab test that read any thing in your system for 60 days.I took the test with 3 other people two failed.I ,m not a usuer/ but both kids had assumed that 30 days was enough, sadly No.If you have used in 60 days you will fail. Not to bright are ya.

Unlikely. Many companies take hair now and there no way to cheat your way through that.

reconsider your plans. it's not just the drug test. it's your own responsibility and decision-making, and you have issues in this area.
