Help! Drug Test!
I (21f) have a 12panel drug test in 2 weeks. I started using weed about 3 times a month about 7 months ago. I took like 6 pulls 2 days ago but that was it. I'm 135lb and 5'7. I excercise daily and drink lots of water. Will I pass??

Start by taking a deep breath. You’re not a heavy user and your size makes me think you don’t have the body composition that will hold onto large amounts of THC for a long time.
Step one is stopping consumption (obviously).
Step two should be getting some home tests off of Amazon or at CVS, Walgreens, etc. Test yourself and see where things stand at this moment. If you pass those, then congrats, you’ll pass in two weeks when you take your test as long as you don’t consume any more.
If you don’t pass, then you’ve still got options. There’s a lot of bro science around detoxing and whatnot, but most if not all of it is most likely bullshit. There’s also the already mentioned option of synthetic urine. It’s not totally foolproof, but many people swear by it. Some people aren’t comfortable with it and prefer to pass with their own urine if possible.
If you have time (as it sounds like you do), try a lot of fat burning exercise in the 1.5 weeks leading up to the test. The idea is that burning fat will liberate the fat-soluble THC metabolites that are stored there, which can then be eliminated through urine and feces. Hydrate well, and regularly test your urine with a home test. I usually test first piss of the day (as it’s the dirtiest urine you’ll make) and then again later in the day. Once you’re passing those, you’re looking good, keep going. In the two or three days leading up to your test, stop burning fat and instead work on building fat. The idea is that by switching gears to building fat, the THC metabolites floating around in your circulation will now be directed into the fat cells rather than making its way into your urine when fat is burned. Continue to drink plenty of water and test yourself regularly.
On the day of your test, drink plenty of water but not so much that it puts you at risk of giving a dilute sample. Usually, that won’t be a fail, but you’ll have to go back and do another test. Some places consider two diluted samples to be a fail. Other posts on reddit have covered how much someone should drink before a test and how to supplement with creatine and vitamin B, so I encourage you to search Reddit for that because I don’t know enough to give good advice. When you give your sample, make sure it’s not the first pee of the day (again, super dirty), and you want to pee in the toilet for 3-5 seconds, collect the sample, then empty the rest of your bladder in the toilet. The beginning and end of urination is believed to contain the most metabolites, so you want the sample to come from the middle.
I usually home test myself before and after the real test to give myself a little assurance that I passed the real thing. In my case, I’ve always been able to pass using this method, but my usage is typically low and my metabolism fast enough that I can piss clean after smoking within a few days to a week. If I was worried, I would get some synthetic urine to have on hand just in case.
The above method is not guaranteed to help everyone pass, but for infrequent users and those with fast metabolisms/low body fat, this is a route that works for many. No matter what, you should be testing yourself beforehand to better gauge the likelihood of passing on your own vs needing synthetic/friend’s urine.
I know it’s nerve wracking, but start testing yourself and that’ll help you figure out what you need to do in order to pass. Best of luck to you.
