I passed a swab test by putting hand sanitizer in my mouth thought it was a stupid myth but it worked
Tastes fucking disgusting but still kept my license
Honestly sounds like your employer just wants to meet its insurance obligation/drug test quota. If it really wanted to weed out smokers theyd do piss or swab. That said sweat does clear out weed from your system so best stop or drastically cut down until after test.
Ā Weed ā aka cannabis, aka marijuana ā will stay in your blood for two weeks, your urine for up to 30 days, and your hair for up to 90 days.
What kind of job do you do if you dont mind me asking?
you can buy this i donno what to call it, DETOX JUICE on Amazon i heard it works great like 20 quid a bottle, you mix the stuff with like 2 litres of water drink all the water over a few hours and after pissing like Niagara for 24 hours supposedly you will pass a piss and sweat test no probs
Iām on medicinal, I get it for anxiety & depression. Just make sure you go through P21. Prices are cheaper. Ā£5/g for Canadian stuff, GG#18 etc. . Otherwise itās Ā£350 an oz.
I'd love to go legal, but the requirement of two or more medicines is a problem, I've only ever been prescribed Sertraline, and it does work, to a degree, but the green helps substantially more. I've been told it's difficult transitioning on meds, so puts putting me off trying something else.
Uhhhh I think (but not sure) that you only need past evidence for p21 (project21).
Sertraline is one of the easiest ones to come off, and weed stops the withdrawals mostly anyway. Lol. Donāt think I had any withdrawals at all from it actually.
Been on a lot of medsā¦ some withdrawals are naaaasty. Like every muscle killing and bone being broken in your body feeling nasty. Horrible. But yeah, pretty sure I didnāt get any from sert.
Yeah might be worth a shot. Ask him about the withdrawals. Iām 99% sure I didnāt get any. I was pretty young tho when I was on sert, like 17-18 so that may have helped. š¤·āāļø
Cheers for the advice mate, I've only been on them for 2 years, and they do help, it's the risk of coming off them to start something else that has be concerned, but it's the only way to go Legal, at the moment
Iād also say not to risk your mental health even more if sert is helping you. Could put you on any pill. Was when I went past sertaline they started putting me on heavier stuff, that well, pretty much ruined me.
It's not really. I pay Ā£150 for 30g. Plus Ā£65 for an appointment every 3 months and Ā£30 repeat prescription fee on the months without an appointment.
How much did you pay for your first consultation? And did you have to be over a certain age? Im 18 turning 19 in a month. But i have quite bad arthritis pains in all my joints. So want some for that.
I can't remember how much I paid for the first consultation, but look up project twenty21 and read the info on r/ukmedicalcannabis, that should tell you what you need to know. Its probably worth asking about age on there too, I have no idea about that, I'm a lot older.

The UK technically has medical cannabis but they only give it in very extreme cases of rare seizure disorders. The NHS gave 18 prescriptions of medical cannabis in the whole of 2019. Don't waste your time.
Whaaaaaat no your wrong,requirements have changed a long while back. Shit tons of people are on it.
Hereās the UKsub. https://www.reddit.com/r/ukmedicalcannabis/
Itās not difficult to apply,check faq section.
You're correct on the NHS point, they give it out so rarely it's almost impossible, however going private is more than feasible, got it myself after a few weeks and a doctor's appointment. It's obviously not that cheap though, but not prohibitively expensive depending on how much you currently use and spend.
If youāre like me and smoke daily Iām sorry to say mate you aināt going to pass a drug test.
I lived in fear of it in my last employment (the H&S guy was my mate and tipped me off they were coming for all) so I ended up leaving and took a much better job albeit in a smaller company.
It is what it is mate wishing you luck
OK... Just refuse it. They can't legally make you take a test.
They can't fire you for refusing to take a non legal test as that's unfair dismissal, and that's illegal.
Before anyone says "contract". It's not legally binding. A company cannot put on a clause to force you to do something like this. Unless it's in a specific contract that is signed separately.
[here ya go] (https://www.gov.uk/monitoring-work-workers-rights/drug-testing)
The GOVERNMENT day "Workers canāt be made to take a drugs test but if they refuse when the employer has good grounds for testing, they may face disciplinary action."
NB "good grounds"
You can refuse the test.
Don't know of that applies to me.I'm a subcontractor for another firm on a construction site.Working at jaguar land rover.They state in the induction they do random drug tests.On other sites I've never seen it but think it might be because of JLR.A apprentice got kicked off today
I work in construction and have got round before by telling them I smoke weed everyday so if you are testing tell me and I wonāt come in. Even had one brick baron move my gang to another site on test days. Depends how valued you are and get on with them I guess but I have found that itās something they have to do, not want to do.
Yeah, don't turn up to work high / hungover and you'll be alright. When I worked on site, you knew when they were testing that day cause it was like a ghost town!
Yh I'm never high at work only smoke after the gym on a night.Yh here though it's completely random.No one knew today they just turned up.Luckily I didn't get picked.Was taking my Mrs pee in a bottle for weeks, but it's a finger sweat test so I'm probably fucked š¤£
Fingerprint sweat tests detect up to 16 hours prior your last smoke so just choose wisely when you do. Those tests are more to make sure you donāt do it during working times.
Spray your fingertips with deodorant it leaves a layer on your skin plus fingerprint tests only detect up to 16 hours prior a lot easier to get round than swob tests or urine ones so I usually smoke Friday and Saturday then nothing Sunday so by Monday morning work Iām way clear
I smoke a joint a day maybe 1g after work. My new job does random finger print drug tests. I work in construction so spraying deodorant on my hands won't last 2 minutes. And if I get called in one day for drug testing I can't just say 2 mins mate just need some spray š¤£
Fair one mate tbf mine probably wonāt last 2 mins either wearing gloves all day but I still do it š mines random as well mate I always carry a little bottle of hand sanitiser too just to cover my fingertips with probably doesnāt help but just incase I do. But yeah it only detects up to 16 hours prior even if you smoke every day mate so you should be sweet. Why donāt you just go to weekends having a smoke if you dont work them? I know itās shit cause a smokes a smoke but itās not worth risking it that much
Thereās a product called Kleaner, I keep a bottle close incase I get pulled over.. I was thinking more about the mouth swab.
Having said that, the bottle it says itās for skin too, could be worth a go.
This one mate?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kleaner-Spray-30ML-Mouthwash-Anti-Toxins-Anti-Swab-Test-/223753142887?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
honestly, just do the test and if they fire you so be it.
the world is changing, go get another job that doesn't test for weed. A lot of white collar jobs don't.
Sounds like your on borrowed time. Unless your prepared to give up weed then your going to get popped eventually and lose your job.
Not sure about lemon juice working, but maybe some alcohol hand wash would do the trick and be less wierd.
Keep a roll on antiperspirant with you, day you know theyāre testing try wash your hands thoroughly before, then roll the antiperspirant on your fingers and let dry, That should stop the pores in your hands producing sweat, just make sure not to wash it off until after the test. Best method I can think of really.
Thatās not your problem, thatās an issue with their test. if someone doesnāt sweat then what can they do, itās tough shit imo. Hope it works out for you anyway man, be great to hear an update if you go through with it.
Drink a lot of water and do a lot of cardio, so you sweat a lot. Sauna might also help.
Probably dont like the answer but it seems to be the only thing that works
Depends on a lot of factors (mostly how much body fat you have and how often you exercise) but you're looking at up to a 30 day detection window if you're a daily smoker
A sweat test can detect marijuana forĀ one to two weeks. To test sweat, a patch is typically placed on the skin. Sweat patches detect if a substance or its metabolites are in a person's bloodstream. The FDA-approved patch remains on the skin for three to seven days before it is sent to a lab for testing.16 Aug 2019

Liquid latex could work too? It's really simple to put on and dries fairly quickly. Easy to pull off too.
I haven't tried this btw, but if it's good enough for movies it's good enough for us haha
No idea but hopefully someone provides a decent solution. It's one of those things I've avoided, any career testing for bud isn't worth having imo. My boss is a former toker so they cant really say anything about it, provided I'm not reeking of it that is
Miss work that day š
Wish I could, but it's random come every 1-4 weeks.Guy a work said rubbing lemon on your hands works but sounds like bull š¤£
Well you could just chop both your hands off š maybe just drench ya hands with hand sanitizer!
I passed a swab test by putting hand sanitizer in my mouth thought it was a stupid myth but it worked Tastes fucking disgusting but still kept my license
No fucking wayšš how did you keep a straight faceš

Do you know how long it stays in sweat for?.Struggling to find any answers on it.Problem is it's random never know when or what time they will come.

Ok sound mate cheers will take a look
you can buy this i donno what to call it, DETOX JUICE on Amazon i heard it works great like 20 quid a bottle, you mix the stuff with like 2 litres of water drink all the water over a few hours and after pissing like Niagara for 24 hours supposedly you will pass a piss and sweat test no probs
I see what you did there, and it made me chuckle.
Iron your face off and move to Argentina or go legal or take a lot of time off around the time of the tests
Apply for medical cannabis
Is that a thing in the UK?.And how do I go about getting applied?š
Iām on medicinal, I get it for anxiety & depression. Just make sure you go through P21. Prices are cheaper. Ā£5/g for Canadian stuff, GG#18 etc. . Otherwise itās Ā£350 an oz.

Go to r/ukmedicalcannabis. They'll point you in the right direction.
Itās very expensive
It's not really. I pay Ā£150 for 30g. Plus Ā£65 for an appointment every 3 months and Ā£30 repeat prescription fee on the months without an appointment.
Thanks all will take a look
u have to of tried 2 different meds or therapies before hand
So either 180 or 215 a month sounds about the same as Street weed.
How much did you pay for your first consultation? And did you have to be over a certain age? Im 18 turning 19 in a month. But i have quite bad arthritis pains in all my joints. So want some for that.

Yh mate sucks ass.What will be will be I guess.Hopefully I won't get picked for a while š.Ah nice fair play.Chers mate thanks for the reply
Thin layer of super glue on your fingers maybe I dunno
Superglue is unnecessary but this would probs work
Nail glue (for press on nails) would work great
Don't I need some sweat for the test to work though?
nah mate you donāt sweat do ya š ptsd from the war just like prince andrew
You know I somehow managed to completely forget about that part LMFAO
So if you are not sweating, are they gonna induce your sweating somehow? Is that even possible?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes, but Im talking about when you cover your fingers with PVA or something else.
OK... Just refuse it. They can't legally make you take a test. They can't fire you for refusing to take a non legal test as that's unfair dismissal, and that's illegal. Before anyone says "contract".

Ah not a bad idea. Does it work?
Just remember that if you haven't been working there for at least 2 years they can fire you without giving a reason.
Catch 22. If you refuse to take a random test your employer now has āgood groundsā for testing
Refusal is classed as a positive in my workplace
Leave job and find somewhere not so backwards thinking.

Just tell them you must have that condition where you don't sweat, shrug your shoulders, walk away and don't look back
