    It depends on a lot of factors like the amount of fat you have so there's no hard and fast rule. The skinnier you are and the higher your metabolism is, the more chance you have of it leaving your system sooner rather than later.

    You might be cutting it fine with only 19 days off but like I said, that depends on a lot of variables.

    Make sure you pee a good few times before you pee for the test...

    Yes, but what drugs. There's a number of different types of test.

    If they're testing for EPO, you'll definitely pass.

    If they're testing for weed, then maybe not.

    Does marijuana even contain any EPO? Surely you'd only be tested for that for sports related purposes.

    No it doesn't but therein lies the point.

    If they're testing for something in particular, they're looking for a spike at a specific point. If they tested specifically for cocaine, then the OP would pass if they only smoke marijuana.

    urine tests don't always test for drugs it could just be testing your blood sugar or creatine levels

    if they are testing for weed then there are two types of test results with urine testing
    qualitative and quantitative

    qualitative testing looks for the presence of the substance and gives a yes no answer, you will fail this as your body will still be excreting the weed for a long time. however if they wanted to see if you ever smoke they would simply lifestyle test you which is a scraping of your fingernail or a sample of your hair as this will show what you do and how often you do it and goes back a long time

    quantitative testing looks to quantify of measure how much weed you are excreting from your body, the tester will have been given a pass fail rate on how much is allowable, imagine you'd been at a house party and lots of people were smoking joints and you didn't know but you were passive smoking.
    I'm confident you will pass if its a qualitative test in the same way you would pass a alcohol breath test two days after drinking

    as a point of interest when they bring in roadside drug (illegal and prescribed) testing it will be a saliva test with a swab as this has a very short window which starts very soon after ingestion. so it would only show a positive for the next 4-5 hours.

    Yup they'll probably do a full creatine panel now that I think of it.

    I was sent for a test for work before and i asked what they tested for.They were only testing for proteins and other things(non drug related) as they covered my health insurance and had to judge my health before deciding on hiring me.

    Sorry meant to ask grass or hash. If you have been smoking weed only on your days off and havent smoked in 19 days you should be fine. Hash stays in system much longer.

    Basically the same drug (thc) in different forms
    The thc dosent care how it got there it will act the same
    The differences are irrelevant the test would be for thc not hash or weed

    That'll be the ground up tyres in the hash.
    Causes the THC to stick to your fat cells longer.............
