Using Marijuana. Stopped Smoking. Taking Fat Burners. Will I Pass Urine Drug Test?

I have been a marijuana user for years. I recently stopped smoking about 4 weeks ago and am still about 3 weeks out from when I need to take my drug test. It is a urine test. I am very active working out about 4 times a week and just started taking fat burners to give me more energy to exercise. I read on some forums that fatburners can hurt the chances of passing a drug test but most were talking about taking them within a few days of the actual test. Would this hurt or help my chances of passing? Thanks

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. I believe that you want to pass your urine drug screen. However your body metabolizes the medication at the same rate irrespective of whether you do anything to affect it, i.e. try to exercise, use fat burners, drink water etc. I believe everybody's metabolism of the marijuana is different and you will not be able to cheat on the urine or serum tox screen. One way you can prove that you are not using marijuana is to do a serial (weekly or fortnightly) quantitative analysis of the serum levels and show decreasing levels over time. I hope you consult a psychiatrist who can order those tests.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
