Second what's been said above, the bar for a positive result is set so high that you will not get one from passive smoking. One thing to mention though is that should you ever attend a party with this bellend again once you are in the forces and someone hands you a dodgy rollup or a brownie a) don't accept it (obviously) or b) if you have accidentally ingested any drugs like this fess up to your boss ASAP. It doesn't improve your credibility if you wait to get CDT'd and then trot out the excuse.

As an aside I once had one lad who claimed he's been taking Hemp Oil as a dietary supplement as an explanation for a positive Cannabis CDT. Having asked the boys in white coats for their opinion they said that it was theoretically possible but he'd had to have drunk upwards of a gallon a day to achieve the readings that he did!

The guys are right don't worry, you'll be fine.

Get a second sub cut-off though and Mr 130A will take an interest.

Hey Mucker,

I guess you can put this down to a lesson learnt, when you join the Army you will be with others who reject that kind of lifestyle (99.9% anyway). Those that don't are soon caught and kicked out!

In the finest traditions of the British Army, Concentrate on drinking, and shagging pig ugly women!

Well I'm a bellend and I used to smoke alot of weed, daily basis. Anyway I quit outright in October 2011 and I'm now smokefree! But yeah, because I smoked so much is the crap going to still be in my system? And if it is when I do my medical at selection and it turns up, am I basically fudged?

**jarrod248** · 25-01-2012, 03:54

About 28 days for a heavy user.

In short yes it will be in your system and in hair samples for a lot longer. Yeah sounds line you were a bell end I honestly don't know where you stand with this but in my opinion I don't fancy your chances HOWEVER as I said I genuinely don't know and I am only guessing. Best bet is go into the Selection centre speak to the staff and get a DS answer. Be prepared to be told to come back in 6mths time though, that is something I genuinely have seen happen. Go in ask the question and be pukka honest about what you have tried etc because if you are tested the tests are very sensitive! and are wrong very few and far between.

**jarrod248** · 25-01-2012, 04:10

Yes it will be in hair samples but detectable in urine about a month.

**P.I.Staker** · 25-01-2012, 04:17

Hmm. Well ill likely be going in February, that'll be 6 months since I've smoked anything, bar a few ciggies whilst drunk. Even if it doesn't show up I'll be honest and tell them everything I've done. I'm basically a loner now, I cut myself off from practically all my mates because they ALL do drugs so I don't talk to em anymore to avoid temptation. And their general wastes of good oxygen...
