Guess I will start out with a little bit about myself;

I'm about 5'11 160 pounds, of average body type etc. and have been a very consistent marijuana smoker for about 4 years now. And I love most everything about pot... the peaceful culture, the friendly social aspects, and of coarse relaxing with my bong and jammin some tunes after a long day of work.

Recently I made a poor decision and now im getting monthly urine tests. (I understand I was dumb and I shouldn't be in the position, but i am.) Judge me if you wish I really don't care and I'm not saying this because I'm a new member of this forum.

Now, I've been told of tons and tons of methods of defeating a urine test (niacin, cranberry juice and water, wheat grass shots, the drinks, and even just plain old water) though I don't believe I've passed one.

First test I stopped for about 2 weeks and exercised, didn't work. 2 of my tests I used those drinks that people assured me worked, once with stopping a few days prior, and once giving the drink 8 days and 4 shots of wheat grass (gross). Both failed. And I can't say I'm too surprised.

Now, I've talked to quite a few people since then who claim niacin in the only method that has ever worked for them, and quite a few internet sites that say it doesn't work. I figure I'd give it a shot, after all who believes everything they read on the internet? I'm well aware of the risks and am using it safely (ty for caring :))

Now 2 days ago I stopped smoking (planned on stopped much earlier as my test is tomorrow (quit 2 days before).. I guess I slowed down though.) As you can see I'm not very consistent.

Yesterday evening I took 500mg of niacin and drank a good amount of water. This afternoon after work I took 500mg and water, and as I'm typing this 1000mg of niacin and 60 fl oz of cranberry (all i could afford.. =/) and plenty more water. I don't plan on taking another pill tommarow morning, just my multi vitamin and water... (not sure if this is wise but i will find out).

I've done hours and hours of research though i admit lazy research and often not understanding or trusting certain steps of processes and giving up etc. During my researches I stumbled upon this very nice informative website with what appears have an intelligent and friendly forum community. I guess this would be my attempt to get a more personal and hopefully experienced advice and or tips to help me continue to live the lifestyle I love living.

So this will be my own research journal in a way, though I fear I may have gotten serious in my efforts a bit too late. What can I say I've always been a procrastinator xD.

1 question to anyone nice out there... anyone have experience with not pissing on tests regularly?

Anyways, I'll keep you guys up to date...

So here it is:

Every time you buy a piece, before ever using it for the reason you bought it, buy some tobacco, flavored if you like, and smoke it with your piece outside, right in public, making sure you're in a place where you can smoke cigarettes. Naturally some police will approach you, and if you aren't an idiot and don't have any weed or other paraphernalia on you, you should get off clean. First of all, is this true? And second of all, will this potentially destroy the idea that pieces are only for weed? ]]> Legal Issues Unriggable http://www.marijuana.com/showthread.php?t=105463 http://www.marijuana.com/showthread.php?t=105462&goto=newpost Wed, 20 Aug 2008 05:48:37 GMT I've only smoked like 10 times, but I have gotten 3 different effects from weed.

The first time I ever smoked was at a Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube concert, I got really hyper and couldn't stop talking, which is very unlike me, as I am quite timid.

My second type of high happened at my friends house from his bong and I got this really tired and lazy high. I felt very chilled out and just mellow.

The last few times I've smoked at my house and I've gotten a completely different experience. I feel like I'm outside of my body and that there is another person controlling my movements. My legs get incredibly tired and then they go numb. I can really feel my heart racing and I my mind is all over the place. ]]> Places and People Brandon1025 http://www.marijuana.com/showthread.php?t=105462 http://www.marijuana.com/showthread.php?t=105460&goto=newpost Wed, 20 Aug 2008 05:42:27 GMT Though it has nothing to do with pot, I thought I'd throw out this trilogy as being rather enjoyable. It follows the development of human settlements on Mars, from a simple colony to a terraformed world, but does so in a very personal way by following the characters who lead the colonies / cities. I recommend it to anybody who likes science fiction.

I've had periods were i followed doctors instructions, and prescription to the letter, and it all messed me up. The drugs they prescribed robbed me of bone mass and testosterone and messed with my metabolism so bad I put on 60 lbs(lost more than half so far.) IT's hard for people to understand chronic pain, mine manifests itself as spasms and a cold razor blade cutting my left leg kind of feeling. I cannot escape it, it is 24/7 unless I'm blind out of my mind intoxicated. Pot works for me not so much as a pain killer, but an actual pain manager, for some reason only this drug allows me to place my pain outside myself. It's not a 100% cure, but it's nice not to have the internal dialog of "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOUUUCHHH" that is continuous in my mind. I would say in simple terms, it allows me to "space off " my pain.

For other medical users, does it work on your problem the same way? just allowing you to space off your problem?...Kinda curious. ]]> Medicinal Marijuana Herbania http://www.marijuana.com/showthread.php?t=105458 http://www.marijuana.com/showthread.php?t=105457&goto=newpost Wed, 20 Aug 2008 03:47:36 GMT hi. my name is katie.

The Civil War is not even a hundred and fifty years old. In the grand scheme of American history, a hundred and fifty years is not that much time.

The Civil War continues to shape Southern culture over a hundred years after it started. Pretty weird...but I do have to admit that I have been brought up with an animosity towards "Yankees" ranging from disdain to suspicion to straight-up anger. There is definitely a deepfelt resentment in the South about this war.

I have ancestors who were in the Civil War (or the " War of Northern Aggression" as some call it). I have relatives who display the Confederate flag. I guess you could say I come from a long line of rebels who are still actively pissed today and who would probably fight on the side of the South if there was another civil war.

I probably would too. My allegiance is a little stronger for South than it is for the nation as a whole...our culture is just so different from the rest of the country. I know that to be a fact because I've been all over the country, from the Niagara Falls to Tijuana, San Diego to Virginia Beach. When I leave the South, I seriously feel like I'm in another country.

So what do y'all think?

Personally, seeing the way the US is headed, I'm thinking we Southerners should have got out while we had the chance.

I'm also throwing ketones due to hypoglycemia... I've been sick and not eating well. I'm doing better now, but still ketotic.

Diastix results for the medically-inclined:

SpGr (refractometer) 1.006
pH: 7.0
WBC: Trace
Nitrites: Trace/10
Protein: 1+/30
Glucose: Negative (Blood glucose at time of testing: 65, slightly hypoglycemic)
Ketones: Large amount (due to low blood sugar, body consuming fat-- about to crash, having probs regulating glucose to stay up)
Urobilinogen: Negative
Bilirubin: Negative
Blood: Negative to slight trace;

sediment exam= 4-5 RBC/HpF; occasional WBC/HpF; mixed baceria 3+; transitional epithelials. Neg for crystals/casts.

Adulterant/validity: Creatinine lt. brown-- like the 10 spot.
All other adulterants= negative; SpGr on strip is within range.

Oh, the THC test was negative and I have no other reason to suspect any positives for off-topics.

QUESTION: Would the test be reported as NEGATIVE/DILUTE if the SpGr is at 1.006 but the creatinine is above 5? ]]> Urine Testing schrodie http://www.marijuana.com/showthread.php?t=105452 http://www.marijuana.com/showthread.php?t=105451&goto=newpost Wed, 20 Aug 2008 02:37:23 GMT First day of class today... had to take a ceramics class to satisfy a fine art requirement.

It's ok because I've been making things out of clay since I was young, so I figured this would be the easiest class.

Anyways, as the teacher is going over the rules of the class (per first day stuff), she looks directly at me and goes:

Any thoughts? Do I have a chance?
