Tips to help a pot head stop smoking pot and get clean for a test

I figure some of you have probably had to go through this before, so I figure it's worth posting here too. I also posted in WCA @ ODD but I'm sure I'll get some other people to see it here..
I have the opportunity for a major job opportunity in my field that could last for several months at 7500$ + a month. Flights are paid (it's in a different province) and so are my accomodations and meals while there.
Unfortunately I have to do a urine test for this job. In my province, (ON), we don't require drug testing for my field of work yet.
Anyways, I have probably a good 3-4 weeks still to post in for the job as they require a lot of guys but - I have always had a really hard time quitting marijuana. I literally stopped using heroin again 4 weeks ago but I am already freaking out about not being able to toke.
I smoke several times a day (not much only a small bowl or so, maybe 0.2, 0.3 but many times a day) but I've also been doing a lot of dabs lately. I am not the lightest person either, medium build pretty big guy 250 lbs 6'2"
So I'd say I'm a decently heavy user
if anyone has tips on staying motivated to quit, getting my mind off smoking weed, what other drugs may help etc any useful info to help me out I would appreciate it. Maybe tips on the best detox methods you've heard of (I know I need to actually quit and the detox one day drinks are bullshit) but I have heard some theories of heavy exercise, and lots of fluid intakes, cranberry juices, etc, and then to load up on red meat the last day or two before the test
Anyone with experience chime in!!
I'm going to a concert sunday and will likely end up smoking there but hoping after that I can start and do 3 weeks clean....maybe even 4 if thats going to be safer.
I also could cheat the test I guess with the fake dick thing (whizinator) and some synthetic urine, though I don't know if it's supervised, and a fail of the test is a 500$ fine and I can't work in that province again without doing a drug rehabilitation course
I don't know why I always found marijuana very hard to quit. Some people say it's a breeze but for me it's quite the challenge
The drugs I have available to me right now:
GHB (though I am developing a huge tolerance and possibly a strong dependence on this as well) Gabapentin (lots of it), various Kratom strains (nearly a kilos worth, 4 different strains) aswell as various other drugs like Baclofen (muscle relaxant) and psychedelics (mdma, mda, LSD, 4-aco-met)
in about 5-6 days I'll have a bunch of ketamine but I go through it very quickly
Hoping to get off the alcohol too to help a bit with my weight, though I'm thinking maybe I should wait till I'm off the weed for a couple days/ a week before I stop the alcohol altogeher.
We'll see how tomorrow goes. Today I managed to go without alcohol but unfortunately got stressed out near the end of the day and did smoke weed

I've done tests before a handful of times but it was 4+ years ago, and I don't remember much, but I definitely only quit for 3-4 weeks max and was a heavier smoker then
The army might use lower testing cut off levels than other pre-employment tests do , who knows...

Are you going to Alberta? It's not supervised, at least everyone i know in oil patch says you go in stall in alone. My former roommate had clean pee in our freezer which he kept warm in a bottle warmer in his truck. He's locked up last i heard so i don't have a clean pee connection any more.

If you can quit heroin pot should be a breeze just don't do it, you might lose sleep for a night but that job sounds a lot better than having a few cones through the day.

tl;dr OP isn't going to get a really good job because smoking pot is more important to him.
Why is anyone wasting time giving him advice on how to pass a test when he's obviously not even gonna stop smoking.

I'd tell a pot head to put down the weed, stay focused on their goal, and 4 weeks without weed is such a small price to pay for this possible golden opportunity.
You, my friend, may be more than a pot-head. And this is coming from an active pot head, and an alcoholic in recovery(18 months dry)
Maybe take it easy with the other illegal drugs, too?  I know, it sounds crazy, but you need to get your priorities in order.

Well if this is any motivation i was a pretty heavy user and quit 4/20 and haven't smoked since. It's basically the three-day rule or 3 day hump. Once you get passed doing something for 3 days you kind of mentally don't care. I'm around it almost all the time. Still get offered it and it's kind of just like nah can't came this far and to restart would blow. I even have people almost upset that I don't smoke which kind of is retarded but I understand. They miss the social aspect I guess. I love weed very much. I almost feel sickly now that I don't smoke. I've gotten sick at least twice since I've quit.
The worst part about stopping is that you get insane dreams and shit. It adds to pretty shitty sleep if you ask me. Many people claim they are just dreams but when your going full blast through REM you aren't really sleeping if you ask me. Kava Kava would help cravings but honestly the worst part is going to be the sleeping aspect. Get some zzzquil cuz ur gonna need it.
I'd give yourself a solid month before testing if possible.

Just think of all the weed you could buy with all the money you'll be making. Wait, don't do that. Seriously though, is there some kind of financial goal you want to pursue? Buying a house or something perhaps?
IME it's pretty straightforward to quit weed, just don't buy it, don't hang out with people who smoke it, and keep your mind occupied with other activities.

Maybe his personal freedom to get high in his supposed free time is important to him too. He probably going to buttfuck nowhere where there is nothing to do but get drunk unless its a dry camp. Then everyone just smokes crack. Pot isnt the worst thing its just the easiest to test for. Drug testing has created a crack epidemic here and i am dead set against it. You shouldnt have to quit weed for your dream job in 2015.

I mean,
It's really just a matter of willpower and how badly he wants the job
There really isn't much else to it
