What's the difference between a drug test, and a drug screen?

Question

I have a drug screen "test" in 4 days. I smoked pot 5 days ago. How do I pass this drug screen, and will drinking LOTS of water allow me to pass?

Answer 1

You might be out of luck. A drug test is when they're looking for specific drugs in your system. Athletes go through drug tests when the authorities are looking for steroids, for example. Drug screenings are when employers want to check to see if someone they've just hired has any of several drugs in their blood. Maybe  you can have a family emergency and put off taking the "test?"

Answer 2

yup, you can't get pass the test if you smoked pot like 5days ago.

pot usually will show up even if you smoked it like 1 month ago

Answer 3

The difference is the word "test" and the word "screen". They are all the same.

The detectable compounds in pot are store mainly in fat deposits and plain water won't do much for you. There are a lot of products on the market that claim to enable a clean test, but you can do your own research on them with Google or Yahoo searches.

Answer 4

A drug test and a drug screen are the same thing, pee test....lol, and you can pass it!!!!!!!  I know how, cuz I smoked pot once and was on probation and got away with it....drink cranberry and pickle juice by the bucketloads and nothing of the sort will show I assure you =].  It may have even went out of your system already, but to be sure, drink what I told you, it will be gone =].

Answer 5

it depends if your getting a urine or blood test

but the difference in a test and screen is test they test for a specific drug and screening is they look on a computer and look at whats in your blood/urine and see what chemicals are in it

now, if your getting a blood test then you cant do anything about it

but if your getting a urine test then drink LOTS LOTS LOTS of cranberry juice cause that makes your pee alot

and when i meen lots i mean LOTS like replace your water with it until the test

good luck:)!

Answer 6

Tim is right.  No difference tween the test and the screen.  Both will show the THC.  Bad, eh?  Gotta stay clean my young thing.

Answer 7

you can't pass it, even with drinking lots of water

Answer 8

screen is a test for multiple drugs

I shouldnt tell you how to pass the drug test, but I will this once. Go to GNC and tell them you want Puri-Blend tea and they'll tell you what you have to do.. and lay off the doobies
