Smoking weed is no big deal. However, if you can't abstain for 3 weeks before a test then you need to have a few avenues to choose from or use - which may (or may not) work to help you pass a drug test. I'm not a weed smoker, but my friends are. They say to get the tabs available at GNC or at relaible head shops and drink a ton of cranberry juice at least 3 days before the "test". I dunno...if you really want the job, I feel you need to hold out for at least 4 weeks and then get tested. It's true that heavier folks hold on to more thc. I've worked at a place where I had to randomly test employees (a deplorable job for sure!) but felt really bad when great, smart people were tested positive and were canned. It's a slippery slope. And sad that it is considered a "bad" drug - but when dealing with certain companies & agencies there is no way around this issue. No one get's away with the urine sample taped inside their leg anymore. Honest. Testers test the body temperatures of "said" urine. And when they aren't totally convinced, they'll do a random test a week or 10-14 days later on you. They can do this.
That's all I know, but I hope you can find a way to get whatever job you're wanting. There are way worst problems than pot smokers out there IMHO. Just be cool for awhile. And lay low and keep your mouth shut about your "non-work activities." These are hard times.
And good luck. Seriously. I care.
