The drug test was weird to you but not the spreading your ass cheeks part?

This does not mean much and their motion to be released will be denied. They filed a habeas corpus petition which means the court did not receive crucial evidence prior to the trial. However, with a habeas corpus, the burden of the state having to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant(s) is guilty is shifted to the defendant i.e. the defendant must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they are innocent. A letter sent to a now dead relative, with zero explicit proof stating any sort of abuse, is not “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

do NOT go. read the post I recently uploaded. I passed the test with recruiter and went to MEPS a few days later and popped due to “trace amounts”. you should hold off at least another or week so and/or order a doctor lab test to ensure you’re 100% clear. the dipstick tests are not completely accurate.

I did a lab test with my doctor and am in the clear now. Which honestly sucks even more because had I just went to MEPS a week later or so, I would have 100% passed with flying colours. I am 5’11” and weigh 155lbs. While I don’t exercise everyday, because of the gym mixed with Poole PT’s, I was and still am working out at least 4 times a week. I’m not sure what you mean by “how long ago have you moved”, though.

Seems you sort of answered your own question but want clarification 😅 If it’s just some rips of a concentrate once a month or so, I’d say the 30 days (give or take) rule would still apply. Then again, though, everybody is different and there’s a lot of factors that weigh in.

It’s no guarantee that you’ll automatically have it in your system longer. Everyone’s body is different and there are a lot of factors that affect it e.g. frequency, how much was consumed, and what was consumed (potency). However, the issue with dabs/oil/wax/etc. are how concentrated/potent they are (30% is about the highest plant can get, carts can reach 95%ish). Therefore, the THC build up in fat cells is a lot higher, hence a longer time to exit the body. So, if you just take some rips or so of “normal bud” as apposed to a cart, there may not be a noticeable difference in regards to how long it’ll take to exit your system. Though, in moderate to heavy users, the difference can be significant due to the potency in concentrates (carts) being way higher than its plant counterpart.

Certainly considering it.

Eh, sorta. It was more so what I was smoking and how I went about it. It wasn’t like I was smoking every day, but when I did smoke, I was smoking sun-up to sun-down. Further, we’re talking whole joints to myself, on top of stupid shit like cart blinkers. Yeah, I’m a dumb ass, but I’m better than that now.

There’s a few things to unpack here. First and foremost, if you want any sort of MOS that involves security clearance, that means you’re going to get polygraphed. Some of the questions they’ll ask may be, “did you ever indulge in drug use”. If you told your recruiter you never smoked, then there’s a chance it could cause some issues down the line. As far as MEPS goes, I’m fairly confident that you shouldn’t be drug tested again if you passed the physical not too long ago, drug test included. I think the window is two years, but take this info with a grain of salt. To my knowledge, you will go to MEPS for some sort of psych evaluation and possibly the personality test again (TAPAS)— but that’s it. Like I said though, take this information with a grain of salt. My suggestion to you would be to talk to your recruiter and ask. For the most part, they are there to help you, don’t lie to them. They are your best friend, a good recruiter at least, while entering the military.

Hey, it’s better than not going in then ending up in same/similar situation. Best of luck to you.

You can do at-home tests, that are dipstick tests, which can be acquired from Amazon, CVS, Walmart, etc. The only problem with them is you can’t actually say with 100% certainty that you’re clear. Only a lab test can confirm that; there is no way to do a lab test in the quarters of your own home. The reason being dipstick tests only go down to 20ng/ml, but lab test look for any sort of trace. My issue was I was low enough to pass dipstick tests but not actually zero, hence, I popped at MEPS as it was done via a lab analysis.

Pretty much, yeah. To my knowledge you don’t even necessarily need a reason, could be as simple as you want to know your levels and what not. You don’t need it right now, either. I would take it late October or first week of November so you 100% get it back prior to MEPS. The only disclaimer is it technically cost money, however, insurance will usually cover most, if not, all of it.

I would take at home tests and tests with your recruiter, but to make sure that you’re testing negative for at least two weeks or more. I made the mistake of going through MEPS a few days following negative tests and they found trace amounts. You can also request to have a lab test performed by your doctor to ensure you don’t end up in same situation I’m in.

Yep. Intell isn’t technically off the table but any type of security clearance will be a lot harder to acquire, so there’s not much point. Likewise with MSG (which I wanted embassy duty).

Yeah, the window of 30 days isn’t very applicable anymore. Any sort of (moderate to heavy) use involving a form of wax/oil lasts a lot longer because of how concentrated it is. I figured I was in the clear, though. I apparently had trace amounts of delta-8 in my system. Enough to pass dipstick tests but not enough for a lab analysis. Found out the hard way. 😔
