Abesolute longest for THC to clear your system?

Alrighty, I am working on getting an internship for the upcoming school year. I'm not sure if they piss test or no. Since the place provides only free legal consultation, I doubt they'd afford a follicle test, or a saliva test (both require lab submission, and processing fees).
So, what is the longest that anyone has ever heard of THC remaining in urine for? I've been losing weight recently, but I've also been a chronic smoker for close to 2 years now. Will 28 days still do it? I've got a bit less time than that, but I can always purchase some drain-o.

If you stopped right away, I'm sure that the THC metabolites in your system would be so low that you could pass just by diluting (drinking alot of water on the day of the test). Just remember to take your B-complex vitamin and some creatine so that they can't tell you're diluting your sample...

Yeah.. a friend of mine told me a long while back that eventually if you smoke enough your system can become "saturated" to the point where you can never pass a test. But she also smoked 4-5 times a day for close to 30 years, ha. I'm just hoping that there's no truth to that, especially with just about 2 years of constant use.
I think I'm gonna start running though just to burn up some fat and get the shit out of my system a bit faster. May as well bite the bullet, lose a bit more weight, and help myself guarantee that its all out. My metabolism is rather slow which is the other thing that has me worried

If you want to boost your metabolism, start taking some probiotics, do some stretching before you go to sleep, and when you first wake up in the morning (or afternoon, if you're really lazy), drink a glass of orange juice, and wait at least 10-15 minutes before you eat your breakfast. All of this won't be a miracle job, but it should at least kick-start it a little.

How much of an affect will running have? I've never been a big fan, but if it'll help I may as well. It can't hurt either way, right?

Sure, go exercise if you must, can't hurt a bit.

Depending on how much you smoked over the last 2 years...If a bowl or two every day for the last 2 years then if it were me i'd probably try to get at least 60 days in to clear out.
It does depend on a lot of factors though. Metabolism speed, exercise, etc. Exercise should help, since THC Metabolites are stored in fat cells, burning em should help quite a bit if you burn a lot of em. I'd say try to drink nothing but water, dont overdue it, but you know, just drink water when you're thirsty instead of soda or whatever. On the day of the test, make sure it's not your first piss of the day, and try to fill the cup mid-stream, not like the beginning and end of it, as apparently those parts may be a little dirtier.
Anyway, that's just what i've read about as far as drug testing. I've never been turned down for having clear piss, if they say anything just be like "well I was drinking a lot of water so I'd have to piss..."
Anyway good luck.

Running would be a good idea, however DO NOT run the day or to be safe 2 days before a drug test. The reason is that marijuana is stored in your fat cells, and when you exercise they are being burned. However at the same time they are being further released from your fat cells temporarily. I do not have the source, but I read a very lengthy study on passing a drug test (if you guys insist, I could probably look it up.) But I'm not in any way saying NOT to run, just not the day before a drug test. Running will help just make sure you have a few days for things to settle down.
And if it's been a little while, you could probably just dilute it as one guy above mentioned. Here's a tip I've always had: if you have about 5 days before a drug test, run the first 3 of those days, 2 days before the test take the CRANBERRY AZO's (PLEASE don't take these the day before or your piss will be neon orange.) After that drink a shit load of water, followed by the B12 vitamins someone mentioned as well. And the days you run, drink a few glasses of cranberry juice earlier. Anyways hope that helped.

Easy ways to increase your metabolism?
Spread your meals throughout the day. Snack through the day, don't sit down and eat a full meal.
Weight train. Running will increase your metabolism, but weight training will build muscle, muscle requires more energy to maintain than fat, so the higher your percentage of muscle mass the higher your metabolism will be to maintain that muscle. Plus you'll also burn fat and raise your metabolism while working out
Running's good, or biking, or just anything that gets you moving. It'll increase your metabolism more than weight training but it wont build the muscle to raise your resting metabolism
Green tea increases metabolism, it's also high in water and low in solutes so it'll also help flush out your system
Take a vitamin B complex supplemen. A vitamin B complex will increase your metabolism and if I remember correctly also help your body in the breakdown of ATP (or was it formation of, I don't remember regardless, take the damned pills! )
Generally when people think "healthy eating" they think apples, pears, vegitables like corn and peas. Well, they all have sugar and unless you can use those carbs they'll just turn back into fat. But yeah, don't turn into one of those Atkins people downing a couple pounds of bacon then crying cause you can't have an apple full of carbs... Trust me, there's only one secret diet that works... It's called "stop eating so much fucking crap".
Other than that there's really not much else that I can think of. Maybe try to incorporate some sort of stimulant into your diet. Caffeine pills (not recommended)?
Little note about the B complexes though... They'll turn your piss electric yellow...

I can tell you from first hand experience that passing a piss test is possible even if you smoked the day before the test. I was an every day smoker and after getting hired for a new job how else would I celebrate other than smoking a joint in the parking lot, never mind the fact that I had a piss test the next day. All I did was drink an excessive amount of water the day of the test and I passed.
I wouldn't attempt such a stunt now since my possible employment opportunities are much more meaningful at this point in my life. The best thing you can do is exercise up until a few days before the test. The only way to speed the process of clearing THC out of your system is by causing your body to metabolize fat, meaning exercise, or even better a combination of exercise and thermogenic supplements.
When it comes time to take the test you will want to do two things. First, eat plenty of food the day before the test, and also the day of the test. When you go without food for any lengthy period of time your body begins to break down fat, meaning you are dumping the THC metabolites back into your system. Keeping your body in a fed state will keep fat stored at this critical time.
Just to be cautious you should still probably make sure your urine is diluted to a reasonable level. Pick up a B-complex vitamin to make sure it has some yellow in it, although personally I can still tell my urine is diluted because it is a clear neon yellow looking color. It should still get you by regardless though. I'm in the same situation as you with a new job opportunity approaching so I hope this works out for both of us.

Quote:
www.thegooddrugsguide.com said: Cannabis and its active ingredient THC is tested for in most drug tests. After one-off or occasional use its break-down products or metabolites can be detected between 3-5 days after use.
However, THC can be detected in a chronic user up to 12 weeks after use although the average is 25-27 days
I'd say your cutting it a bit close, but also, your probably not their definition of a "chronic user". Drink alot of water the day of the test and if it comes up positive, say it was a flase positive (as it will be faint anyways) and demand a retest, and by that time, it will hopefully be out of your system.
