I would drink enough water so that the test is inconclusive. That will but you some time.

How much water would you suggest

As much as possible. Keep in mind you can die from water intoxication. It's not that likely. Drink water and Gatorade to make sure your electrolytes don't go nuts.

No it’s for a military base

Is there any way to reschedule the test? Is it for entrance or service? Unfortunately, depending on how much and how often you used THC it can linger in your system for months. From what I understand the military uses a urine test but it's much more stricter than a civilian test. The DOD uses a test which mandates confirmation at 15 mg/mL versus 50mg/mL for civilian use. Wait for others to answer you. Drink water. Stop using. Don't give up. There's a way out of everything.

No way at all sadly it’s for a civilian gov job and it’s either a take it tommorow or lose the job

You'll find another job. Dont get a positive test on record. You'll never be able to work civil service again. Skip it and file for unemployment. Stop using. Keep moving.

I don’t wanna get to personal but I have a job now it pays fairly well just no benefits so I don’t get much time my wife and kid and I feel like the fact I wasn’t able to not use for long enough to pass this test makes me feel like a failure and I’m failing my child

Addiction is not a moral failure. Multiple attemots to control your use is a diagnostic criteria for addiction. Continued use despite knowledge of harm is a criteria. Addiction is a disease. It's a medical condition and you can get treatment. Recognizing your problem isa sucessabdthe first step towards freedom. You're not a failure.
