A few questions I hope someone can clar up for me. I am detoxing for pot and unsure about what is fallacy and what is truth anymore.
My buddy told me to take 1000 mg of niacin every day until the test and I will pass. Another told me to take a large dose once and it will clean me out, the dose being way more than 1000 I guess. Is either of these true, and I so which is it?
Is there any other things that aren't being tested for, such as golden seal, that will work for cleaning out my system? I have abstained for the most part except for 5 hits the other day with a friend whose cousin had just had a serious problem in prison, and plan to abstain until both tests are done. The first is on the 21st and the second a week or two later. I want to make sure I pass as I need that to get my financial aid reinstated which is why I am asking.
Any help would be so appreciated I can't even begin to describe...

Hi Maynerd,
Don't worry, it's actually very simple. First, abstain from pot for at least 1-2 weeks (maybe longer depending on your metabolism).
Second, start drinking **A LOT** of water now and until the moment right before the test.
Third, increase your metabolism. You can accomplish this by drinking more coffee. Caffeine is a diuretic and stimulant, which means it both increases urine flow and metabolism. So, basically it helps hasten the secretion and elimination of toxins in your body. Regular exercise is another great, and healthier, way to increase your metabolism.
The detox methods you mentioned have been invalidated according to some of the resources I've found on the Internet. Remember, these are just suggestions based on my own experience and (extensive) research. Good luck with everything. Peace...

There are various services available on the internet that will sell you a clean urine sample. Most urine tests are unmonitored, meaning you are alone in a bathroom. You just have to make sure the sample is warmed up to body temperature.
If it is a monitored sampling procedure its a little harder to pull off, but the same places sell prosthetics that you attach and use to dispense the sample.

Thanks for the helpful answers and advice, VERY much appreciated. I don't want to use someone elses clean urine, it is a matter of me promising myself that I would be stubborn and take care of this without completely cheating (partly to see if I had the strength to do it). I am considering some sort of thing at the store that is supposed to help accelerate your metabolism for a week. Hopefully by doing that along with abstaining I will be ready for the test on the 21st.
I think that has got to be better than the niacin I was taking, that was really starting to mess with my lithium levels in a bad way I think.

This has gotten to be a tough area to get by with "tricks" that used to work.vbAgent had good tips,although the Water thing can be detected now,they check the consistency to look for "watered-down pee".They sure DO check the temperature of that pee,needs to fall about 92-98-degrees or so,if not,they claim foul.
Keep doing all the stuff you are and let up on the water the evening before the test. Before you begin to fill the cup,let the stream flow to near halfway.then aim for cup(get close to 2 ounces),finish stream in toilet.This method has been proven to work.Less metabolites will be present during the middle of urination.Good-Luck!~Festus
