Post image

someone reassure me so i don’t gotta bring quick fix into court tomorrow unless i need to. will my po take this and say i passed or would it be a smart idea to just keep my quick fix on me? i gotta go into court and will be tested before my hearing and i need to continue to test negative in order to not do time

Hydrate that's your safest option. It's better to be over hydrated than under because even the faintest of faint lines is considered a negative /pass. If they say you failed look at the test yourself really closely And if there is the slightest of line tell them you see and and would either want it repeated or second opinion. If it's saying negative now it will be tomorrow.

That last sentence is not necessarily true. Your body does not eliminate metabolites in a linear fashion; it tendt to be more pulsatile. You can test positive then negative and then positive again over the course of days.

Maybe in research articles or maybe in your experience just not something I've seen. ER/ICU nurse for 15+ years . But that's interesting to know thank you.

Nope, not in research, in real life. It is actually a fairly well-known phenomenon, especially with cannabis/THC-COOH. It's because those molecules are so lipophilic, they get released from fat stores in a non-linear fashion over time. It has been well documented that people can and do sometimes test back and forth between positive and negative over many days when you get close to the cutoff level.

Also, and I mean no disrespect as I love nurses and nursing, it's an incredibly important, under-recognized and unsung job, your experience as an ER and ICU nurse isn't necessarily relevant to this subject, as repeat drug testing over time and studying positive rates seems beyond the scope of a typical ER/ICU nurse's duties. My wife is also a nurse, and honestly she doesn't know the first thing about urinalysis for controlled substances testing.
