Up the cranberry (get one of those 2 liter/~2.25 quarts from the supermarket). Eat more citrus, like an orange or two for breakfast. Cut down on fatty foods as much as possible. If your workout place has a sauna hit that up every few days. Keep on exercising and you should definitely be fine. Depends how heavy of a toker you were when you stopped smoking.

I didn't realize this thread caught somewhat of a second life on the 6th.
Thanks so much for all of your replies and help- it is truly, truly appreciated 
And Kaniz- I couldn't agree with you anymore, my man... the fact that they give the test is almost enough for me not to want to work for the company- but from what I've heard, it's the Insurance companies who basically force certain corporations into giving drug tests to employees (or else they have to pay a significant premium).
Thanks again... and I will surely up this thread again in 4 weeks as soon as I turn the Volcano on

Pretty much every place piss tests. I've had many a job and the only one that didn't was a warehouse, and every other warehouse I've applied at has required it. I've been tested to run registers, stock shelves, feed animals at a zoo, unload trucks by hand (not heavy machinery). It's just stupid.
Maybe you guys can give me some quick info. I believe I have a piss test coming up in less than a week. These are the last dates I smoked.
3/27, 3/28, 3/29, 4/2, 4/14. 4/14 I only took one hit, it was blown right pretty quick and I didn't even feel it, so I'm not sure it counts to any degree. Should I not do anything and just see how it goes? I know not to work out, but should I still drink water, cranberry juice? Anything?

<~~~I took 11 drug tests (urine) in the military and passed each one of them (even after smoking MJ the night before).
My secret....lots and lots of water....never failed. no need for detox. Just drink water like freakin crazy until your stomach hurts. It can't be good to drink that much water (cause drinking too much water CAN kill you), but hey it worked every time!

Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a main era - -the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of.

Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world.

OK well I promised to keep everyone posted - so here is the update:
I am proud to say I have gone without weed for a grand total of 26 days. It's definitely the longest I've gone without cannabis since I started smoking. It was really hard the first week, but it's been a breeze since then
I started testing myself with FirstCheck home drug tests 15 days into my "sobriety" and failed 5 of them before passing my last two yesterday and today.
I plan on working out extremely hard (all cardio) tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday. I will continue to test myself at least once a day. If I continue to pass the next three days, I will stop working out and start pigging out on Sunday. Then if I still pass another test Monday morning, I will drive in and take the test then.
Thanks for all of your support and help. Can't wait to be high as a kite again

I have a stockpile of weed waiting for me which includes:
Northern lights (gotta have a classic indica), Ak-48, Super Skunk, White Rhino x Diesel, and Sour Diesel.
It is going to be a great one

OH ya... and the test is being done by Quest Diagnostics- in case anyone has any info or experience with their tests.
Another bit of info- when I started my cleansing 25 days ago I weighed 185. I now weigh in at 173... and feel so much healthier

Something else I was wondering -
I have passed home tests the last three days (another one today!!) in a row, but the red/pink line for THC is so insanely faint. I initially believed this to mean that I was at or near the cut of point for THC metabolites (50 ng/ml) but I called the company and they said "No. No matter how faint the red line is, it is a negative test. Nothing more, nothing less"- which is somewhat reassuring, but I still would like to know exactly why the THC line hasn't come up a deep red yet.
Thanks so much again.

Personally, I wouldn't work for someone who didn't respect my privacy of what I do in my own time.

This is the biigest pro to quitting weed. If you cant drop the pipe to better your life, then you need to take a step back and look at yourself real hard. People like to say weed isnt addictive, and thats BS. The proof is right in your face. How many people get bitchy as hell after a couple days without smoke? LOL

I realize some people abuse it, but quite frankly I've been perfectly happy without it - and that doesn't mean I'm not ecstatic to be able to smoke again.
I don't think it's as cut and dried as dropping the pipe to better your life. I certainly don't think I'm any better than someone who makes the decision to continue smoking and searching for jobs that do not test. To each his own.
As for this company not respecting my privacy- it's a one time pre-employment test, so it's more of a question of "Ok you wanna be a big shot and work here? Put the pipe down for a month and then do whatever you want once you are in the doors"

I disagree. It IS unreasonable. I've never heard of any company asking a new employee to drop videogames for a month. I've never heard of any copmany asking a new employee to drop TV for a month. I've never heard of any company asking a new employee to drop alcohol for a month. Why should weed be any different?
I wouldn't say everyone gets bitchy if they don't smoke for a couple of days. Hell, I usually only smoke, at most, once a week. I have a friend who smokes daily though and does get bitchy if he doesn't have any though. Everyone is different.

Well like I said - to each his own and I certainly don't fault you for disagreeing. But I'm not too sure what you're disagreeing with.
I too think it is entirely unreasonable, and if this internship wasn't absolutely one of a kind for me, I would most certainly say "thanks, but no thanks". And quite frankly... I needed the month off, and am only just realizing that now 
Smoke on though, brother.

Well apparently things are different where you live. Here, its not a matter of what you do on your own time, but what you could possibly be doing on THEYRE time. Sorry boss. I didnt mean to drive the forklift into the wall, I was just blazed from the lunchtime blunt. Also, the main reason they do it here, is because of pressure from the companies insurance policies.

first of all. peep this: http://www.whizzinator.com/
once you got it, you got it. and everybody knows someone that doesnt do drugs and has clean piss to use.
It isnt a probation test so you arent going to have some faggot breathing down your balls lookin to see your cock actually piss the stream into a cup.
now so u know, like others said already, thc metabolites are stored in our body fat, so whatever increases metabolism is also good for getting rid of the thc metabolites. drinking ICE water is the best because of it being so cold. the cold from the ice water will cause yoru body to increase its metabolism to warm up your body.(read it in a health mag once)
but yeah man, shit, if you dont HAVE to quit, fuck it, id grab me a whizzinator and have my grandma piss for me, fuck it. as long as u aint got an addiction SO bad that you would fuck up at work, it isnt a big deal in my eyes.
the thing is, it's the law and if they DONT test, its their ass. so i mean out of respect id just have to agree to a piss test. i undersatnd its the ultimate privacy invasion, but shit, if you owned your own business, you would do it too. even if it was your buddy and you and him smoked together, youd have to have him piss for you to keep it real. of course after that ya go smoke a B, its just covering their ass. and if the employee is so damn dumb as to fail, that is on them. you can either accept the way things are, fight for a change, or BE RESPONSIBLE.
and you are being responsible and optimistic about quitting, and i respect that. hope everything goes yuour way, i know it will, i bet you will be clean 100%. shit, prolly are now.
