Offered a job at CBRE in California, however I use medical marijuana for severe insomnia. I know it’s also legal recreational, but I presume I will still fail and not get the job.

I was on probation for almost three years on and off during the start of my twenties.  I took piss tests for parole &amp; probation, outpatient rehab classes and for my first job.  I passed every single piss test using this method, some times after having used drugs the day before.  \n\nYou want to drink at least a gallon of water and piss at least four to five times before you take your test.  About an hour before the test eat some rolaids and pop some vitamin B.  Keep drinking water up until the test and when it's time to piss in the cup, go in the toilet a little and switch to the cup mid stream.  Put the bare minimum in the cup and finish your piss in the toilet.\n\nYou will be giving them a cup full of water to test as that's the only thing you'll be pissing out for the next few hours.  Experienced folks will say that this is a diluted sample and it will not be accepted, which is where the other ingredients come into play.  The lab will determine if your sample is diluted by inspecting the color and testing the gravity of your piss.  The rolaids you ate will solve the gravity problem and the vitamin E will solve the color problem.\n\nI passed dozens and dozens of tests using this method; providing them with a little cup of water that passes the dilution test.  Now I will understand if you don't want to put your career on the line based on some post on Reddit so I'd encourage you to purchase a home drug test kit and try this out yourself.\n\n", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "dzdoeh9", "text": "I am not a fan of CBRE.
