Dagnabbit! I have to stop partaking in legal marijuana.

I'm applying for a new job and even though I have a prescription and would NEVER go to my job high, I have to test clean. It really sucks because I have it for my arthritis and it really helps. So, for the next few weeks I have to take potentially harmful ibuprofen to alleviate my pain. Ugh.

but no THC. Not sure how Delta-8 would test but something you may want to look into. It’s legal in all states.

Last time I had to be clean for 2 weeks, used various "cleansers" and I still had a low positive. Luckily, I knew the HR guy and my facility didn't really care too much about thc use. So I got the job anyway. But this time I can't screw it up or they may report me to the nursing board.

I'm fat and it is stored in fat. So it takes longer to get it all out of my system, unfortunately.

at the drug store for a friend that had to pass a test. Took over a month to test clean. You can can get them at most drug stores.
Good luck.
