first of all, it is totally ineffective. the tests used nowadays look for different chemical criteria then the tests used when goldenseal could do you some good. furthermore, since there are few other reasons to take goldenseal other then to obtain false-negatives on drug tests, many companies actually test urine for goldenseal *as well* as contriband... the mere presence of goldenseal in your urine will make you suspect, and could affect your eligibility. so what do you do? drink the water. but drinking it everyday will do you no good; drink as much water as possible *the morning* of your test. and be sure to try to piss as much as possible *before* your test... using your first urination of the day for the sample should be avoided at all costs... good luck. |

I get a blood test every month or so, but they do drug screenings there as well. Last month there was someone ahead of me who was getting a retake on a drug screen because he failed his first test. I mentioned to him that I had heard that poppy seeds can cause a false positive (it probably is not true but I was just repeating it...). Well he latched onto that little 'fact' like it was a life preserver...saying how he had "just had a poppy seed bagel only 10 minutes ago". Yeah, right. He kept going on and on about poppy seeds, which he didn't think to even mention until I brought it up. Right then, I knew that he was going to fail this test, and it wasn't because of any goddamned poppyseed bagel he just ate. After he pees into his cup (I could hear everything that was going on in that office..."Oops! I flushed the toliet. Force of habit.") he comes out and says to me, half jokingly, "Congratulate me. I just failed." Sorry pal, I thought, you're going down. Well, I wish you better luck on your test. I can't offer any advice on what works best to get that shit out of your system....water would be my guess. My friend works for the gov't (the FBI) and he won't touch the stuff. He told me it stays in your body for a month or so..... I haven't smoked any since college.... You might want to find out if random drug tests will be a job requirement, and if so, cut out the smoking while you've got this job. You don't want to risk having your name come up again.... |
