no-its a totally different test.

No effect.  Alcohol is not polar, and is not affected by varying the pH of urine.  It is only removed in the urine to a very small extent anyway.

best way actually is not do it, BUT if you do use it, the part 1.2 gallon vinegar to 1 gallon of water mixture will help you. You have to drink it ALL, a day before you test.You cant smoke any either afterward drinking this or it wont work. You may have a diarheaa a little because of the vinegar but atleast you past the test. Personally, I dont use marijuana now days because you wont get a job if you fail it so the high isnt worth it, but I know this works.Or buy this stuff call Hot Flush. It works within an hour and you get it at any Tatooes Places.

*Shaking my shaggy skull* Noperz, smoking pot makes you no smarter or dumber than you started out to be in the first place.\n\nBut that said I must add a few things...\n\nContrary to the popular myth that smoking marijuana kills brain cells there is mounting evidence that is not only false, but the effects of THC could have the opposite effect.\n\nCannabinoids promote embryonic and adult hippocampus neurogenesis and produce anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects. http://66.218.69.11/search/cache?p=neurogenesis+and+marijuana&ei=UTF-8&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&fr=moz3&u=www.jci.org/cgi/reprint/115/11/3104.pdf&w=neurogenesis+marijuana&d=GGiVrm1aMbo9&icp=1&.intl=us\n\nPrevious research had suggested that neurogenesis happens only in select locations in the brain, such as the hippocampus, a region involved in learning and memory. Some studies have shown that this process is inhibited by most illicit drugs, such as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. However, says Xia Zhang of the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, marijuana's effect on neurogenesis has not been clear.\n\nHe and his colleagues started investigating this mystery by searching cell surfaces in live, cultured slices of rat hippocampus for receptors that respond to marijuana and a few other similar drugs, called cannabinoids. They reasoned that if marijuana affected neurogenesis in the hippocampus, then cells in that area must have a way to recognize the drug. Sure enough, 95 percent of hippocampus cells responsible for neurogenesis showed evidence of cannabinoid 1 ( CB1 ) receptors, one of two receptors that respond to cannabinoid drugs. http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v05/n1624/a06.html\n\nThe current study focused on a particular formulation of synthetic cannabinoid known as HU210 -- a compound which Zhang described as the most powerful cannabinoid in the world.\n\nThe authors explored both the short-term and long-term effects of exposure to HU210 in rats.\n\nTo measure the drug's short-term response, they gave adult rats a single injection of HU210. To study the same drug's effect over the longer term, the researchers gave a separate group of adult rats twice-daily injections of the cannabinoid over a two-week period.\n\nAutopsies revealed that by the end of the 10-day HU210 treatment regimen, new neurons had been generated and integrated into the circuitry of the hippocampus region of the rat's brains. This process, known as neurogenesis, was still in evidence a full month after treatment had been initiated.\n\nNeurogenesis was not triggered in response to brain cells being killed through cannabinoid exposure, the researchers add. In fact, HU210 injections did not appear to prompt any loss of neurons in the hippocampus. http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=54893\n\nMind you, the study is using a super-concentrated drug form and the verdict is still out on smoking it, but they do suggest THC is the only known drug that actually can reverse the loss of brain cells.\n\nFinally though once again, pot does not change your intelligence and different people react to different drugs differently. But it is possible THC will be a cure in time for certain brain affictions...

the active ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a lipid soluble compound that distributes itself throughout the body (not just fat cells!  all cells have fatty components) with concentrated amounts in the liver, kidneys, and lungs.  lipid soluble compounds are notoriously hard to get rid of. even if you exercise a lot and are very thin, your cell membranes and various connective tissues are lipid-based. drinking water won't do anything to increase the metabolic rate but it will dilute the blood concentrations of metabolites. but since it also increases the volume of the urine, you probably peed out the same amount of metabolites.\n\nTHC leaves the body mostly via urine as it is metabolized to more water-soluble compounds. the whole process begins almost immediately in the liver, but complete metabolism and excretion is slow.  the half-life is about 30 hours... so 30 hours after you smoked 4 bowls, assuming you didn't smoke again, you've got 2 bowls worth left in you. traces can be detected even thirty days later. these aren't exact figures, everyone's metabolic rate is different.\n\nif you smoked five weeks ago and not since, and gave an urine sample today, your results might be negative. you are still within the range, though... all i can say is keep your fingers crossed.\n\ni am curious what the purpose of the drug screening is. are you applying for a job? have you enlisted in the military? did you get caught in possession, and they are trying to build evidence against you in a trial? are you in rehab?\n\nin some cases, testing positive on a drug test is going to be very bad times for you. if it's a matter of getting hired or not... eh. there are other jobs, not everyone screens. using marijuana tends to make you lazy, dopey, slow-reacting, etc but not all jobs really need better performance than that. it's just a matter of showing up.... if you're in rehab--- you're not doing a good job but i'd personally rather you smoke pot than huff paint-thinner or snort coke. it's less damaging to your brain and body, and generally less addictive.\n\nif you're in legal trouble, however, this could be very bad times. current laws (are you in the US?) make it very easy to lock up marijuana users for a long time. possession of one joint can mean 20 years in state prison. the drug policy doesn't make sense, and is largely ineffective in its current state. i doubt it will change any time soon, though.

It may be dry, but the THC in it will give you just the same effect.

My best friend and I have this conversation quite often. It doesn't make much sense to me either. Cigarettes cause emphysema, bronchitis, lung cancer, etc. As far as alcohol goes, how many people have killed others while driving drunk? Not to mention alcohol poisoning, liver damage, stomach problems, etc. Yet, weed, the most harmful of the three is the only one illegal. Someone should explain that to me......

Alcohol ~ Causes liver damage brain damage and a number of other ailments.  Also is one of the easily addictive substances in the world. \n\nCigarettes ~ Causes lung cancer and a number of other ailments but is easier to quit than alcohol.  Alot of over the counter gums patches etc to help you quit.\n\nMarijuana ~ Not addictive and just makes you stupid, but wont kill you. Also just makes you paranoid and really hungry and thirsty.  The snacks and soda will kill you before the THC in marijuana will ...  THC really wont kill you.

Probably , but only bcause u have more weed in a blunt bcause it is bigger actually u only get about 10% of the effect of joint and 50% from a bowl or bong u get the most effect from a water bong

Effects on the Brain\n\nScientists have learned a great deal about how THC acts in the brain to produce its many effects. When someone smokes marijuana, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to organs throughout the body, including the brain.\n\nIn the brain, THC connects to specific sites called cannabinoid receptors on nerve cells and influences the activity of those cells. Some brain areas have many cannabinoid receptors; others have few or none. Many cannabinoid receptors are found in the parts of the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thought, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement4.\n\nThe short-term effects of marijuana can include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate. Research findings for long-term marijuana abuse indicate some changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term abuse of other major drugs. For example, cannabinoid (THC or synthetic forms of THC) withdrawal in chronically exposed animals leads to an increase in the activation of the stress-response system5 and changes in the activity of nerve cells containing dopamine6. Dopamine neurons are involved in the regulation of motivation and reward, and are directly or indirectly affected by all drugs of abuse.\n\n\nEffects on the Heart\n\nOne study has indicated that an abuser's risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana7. The researchers suggest that such an effect might occur from marijuana's effects on blood pressure and heart rate and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.\n\n\nEffects on the Lungs\n\nA study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems and miss more days of work than nonsmokers8. Many of the extra sick days among the marijuana smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses.\n\nEven infrequent abuse can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough. Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers do, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, a heightened risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency to obstructed airways9. Smoking marijuana possibly increases the likelihood of developing cancer of the head or neck. A study comparing 173 cancer patients and 176 healthy individuals produced evidence that marijuana smoking doubled or tripled the risk of these cancers10.\n\nMarijuana abuse also has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because it contains irritants and carcinogens9,11. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke12. It also induces high levels of an enzyme that converts certain hydrocarbons into their carcinogenic form—levels that may accelerate the changes that ultimately produce malignant cells13. Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which increases the lungs' exposure to carcinogenic smoke. These facts suggest that, puff for puff, smoking marijuana may be more harmful to the lungs than smoking tobacco.\n\n\nOther Health Effects\n\nSome of marijuana's adverse health effects may occur because THC impairs the immune system's ability to fight disease. In laboratory experiments that exposed animal and human cells to THC or other marijuana ingredients, the normal disease-preventing reactions of many of the key types of immune cells were inhibited14. In other studies, mice exposed to THC or related substances were more likely than unexposed mice to develop bacterial infections and tumors15,16.\n\n\nEffects of Heavy Marijuana Use on Learning and Social Behavior\n\nResearch clearly demonstrate

Cool...never tried that before... its usually a mix of crystal meth, weed and beer for me... all in one go... I'll be stoned for 4 days...

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) can stay in a person's body for as long as 3 to 90 days after smoking or being ingested orally.\nThere are numerous determining factors for how long drug toxins stay in a persons body which vary from person to person, such as the analytical\nmethod used, your health, your body weight, metabolism, fluid intake, the type of drug toxin, and the degree of exposure to the drug toxin.\n\nDelta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, one of nearly 400 chemicals in a cannabis plant, accounts for most of marijuana's psychoactive, or mind-altering, effects. The strength of the drug is determined by the amount of THC it contains which varies from plant to plant. Marijuana stays in your system for different amounts of time depending on how often you smoke it, how much you smoke, and the makeup of the individual (weight/height/etc.).

you would need to look up the psychoactivity of the active compounds of the ones that you want to compare...cannabis' active compound is THC.

He might have tried it but it wouldn't have made a difference. Smoked ecstacy won't do anything except maybe make you enjoy your joint less. It's not designed to be taken that way and will not have any effect. To be sure of not having bad experiences you should not be with the kind of people who would try this sort of thing in the first place. Sheesh. Anyway, tell your friend not to worry.

A month is an average estimate. The amount and frequency smoked will affect how much THC your body has to get rid of. Anything to flush your system will help detox (a little bit) faster.

Expansion! However, it doesn't happen to a can of beer because of the alcohol content and it acts much slower in a sugary product such as coke or pepsi.  Diet drinks on the hand.......boom!

Both can cause damage to the brain with heavy use over long periods of time, although it's much, much worse with alcohol.  Prolonged alcohol abuse will also damage the liver, while heavy marijuana smoking can cause forms of lung damage also caused by cigarette smoking.  So irresponsible use of either carries some health risk.\n\nBut it's very clear that alcohol abuse is much more likely to cause severe, irreversible, often fatal health effects than even the heaviest use of marijuana.  In theory, marijuana smoking could cause lung cancer in some people, but this is certainly very rare if it happens at all.  In contrast, the number of people in the U.S. who develop dementing brain damage (sometimes called "wet brain") or fatal liver disease, as a direct pharmacological effect of years of heavy drinking, is in the thousands.  Indirect damage (i.e. not pharmacological) to the user or others is also much more frequent with alcohol abuse than with pot smoking, given that alcohol is involved in approximately half of all motor vehicle fatalities, small aircraft crash deaths, drownings, fatal burn injuries, falls, homicides, suicides, and non-fatal injuries as well.  Marijuana smoking may be associated with some number of fatal and nonfatal injuries, but that number is probably very small.  \n\nAs if all that didn't make for a vivid, persuasive comarison favorable to marijuana, its also certain that the amounts of social, psychological, and spiritual damage associated with alcohol vastly exceed those possibly linked to pot smoking. "Reefer Madness" turns out to have been just a bad movie, and I suspect that intelligent space aliens would be astounded to discover a supposedly rational society in which alcohol use is accepted and promoted while marijuana smokers fill up jail cells.  I'm not suggesting, of course, that  there aren't good reasons for discouraging irresponsible use of alcohol OR marijuana by anyone, and children and adolescents should, in my view, be discouraged from using them at all even if both were legal for adults.
