Like 5yrs ago, I took a drug test for a new job. A few days before they called me, offering me said job, I had taken a gummy or two. Because I didn't think I was going to get the job. They scheduled me for the drug test, but I pushed it out as far as I could, like 3 weeks, and I passed. Now it's not like I was consuming THC regularly. It'd probably been months since the last time I'd consumed any in any form. I don't know what your habit is like, but if you're in a similar situation, you might be OK.

And even if they do detect it, that could be a false positive. It happens. Then they make you take another, right? Maybe push that out a little, too, to give your body more a little more time to get rid of it.

Oh, thank you! Yeah for some reason re-taking the test never occurred to me. I guess I just thought, I don't know, everything would fade to black and credits would start rolling.

The trial dose they gave me improved my job dramatically, so I'm going to do everything I can to get a refill.
