Hi guys.
Tomorrow I must arrive at the FAA medical examiners office at 10 a.m.
This wouldn't be much of a problem except that my mom didn't mention that she scheduled the appointment until a few days ago.
Part of a 1st Class Airmen Medical Certificate is a urinalysis.
I've been smoking weed almost everyday, all day, for the past month. An FAA examiner isn't like a normal doctor. Your history and confidentiality are non-existent. If/when I fail that drug test, I will never ever be considered for employment by any FAA regulated business (basically anything involving aircraft). I will also not be eligible to fly at all for 2 years. After 2 years I can go back for another certificate if I'm clean. Put they will always consider me a "substance-abuser" and make me take many more tests than usual, costing me probably $1,000 more each time I have to go.
I hate my life. This is completely my fault for not remembering that it was around this time last year, that i had it done. You need it renewed every year. I accept full responsibility for my stupidity.

Can't you delay it? Do something drastic to make it impossible to go perhaps?

I've been wracking my brain for something like that but I can't find anything. I'm 17. I'm a pilot but my parents still control my life. This thing is technically only 9 hours away now. no matter what I do, I will still have to take it sometime this week and I still won't be clean by then
Don't give up. Doesn't large amounts of liquids help? Or you can take something that can trigger a false positive, then wouldn't they have to wait until whatever could trigger that is out of your system?
Ok dude, this is how you are going to do it. First you are going to need a cactus. Doesn't matter what kind as long as your can stick it up your butt. Once the cactus is in place, you will need to make sure you are unable to sit down. So the only way for you to not be standing up is to be laying on your stomach. This will make it so you can do anything for a while. Thus postponing your exam. Your excuse for why you had a cactus up your butt is completely up to you, be creative.
faking this test with dilution or someones elses piss would be unwise. They test for many many many things. Dilution would give the bad results and they would know something was wrong. If I used a substitutes urine, I could fail the examination simply because that person has something wrong with them like high sugar and glucose
I'm not saying dilute it, I'm saying cause a false positive or try to flush your system out

seems plausible
or you could break your finger or something....
with 8 hours and 47 minutes to spare, there's no chance of flushing it all out
Then cause a false positive

And why is that worse than getting bashed with "substance abuse"?
try getting a friends clean piss?

You're a pilot who does drugs? You deserve this.
Make yourself throw up a lot, just down something...

you should probably just eat some shit and die/

It isn't like he flys high.
If you could delay it for a few days, they sell those detox things at head shops? I don't know how well they work, but I'd try it if I was in that situation.
had you remembered a bit earlier. I woulda said drink water like a guy thats just crawled outta the desert and also do the same with cranberry juice and take a shit load of B vitamins but with 9 hours your pretty much fuckered unless you suddenly come down with the plague or can sneak in clean piss
Your mom is a bitch :(
It isn't really her fault, it isn't like she knew that he's been smoking. seeing how he says that they control his life I doubt that she knows about it.
And she told a few days ago, so even though Aaronn isn't the bad guy in the scenario; he is, and he admits, that he is really the one at fault.
You can stop working for a few months, let your license lapse, and not work a few months.

Unless you can get a good 5+ days, or buy some sort of detox (have any headshops/incense type shops in the area?) you might be fucked. I smoked everyday for like a year or so, I was joining the Marines at the time, and I had to take a UA for them, I told them my brother smokes around me and he does it ALOT. 5 days later I was clean.
Tell your mom you smoke, ask her to help you get out of this situation so your life isn't ruined. Your parents will appreciate the honesty, and will guaranteed be more forgiving than the medical examiner.
It is your only hope to get your parents aid.
Take the plunge, I told my parents the day after the first time I smoked pot, I know first hand parents appreciate honesty.
Play the sick card.
It may be a medical examiner, but if you can't perform the tests then you might as well resched.
They only make you pay after you take your phys exams at this place, right?
I dunno, I feel ya though as a fellow smoker in aviation. If you've got some cash, you could always hit up a local headshop and buy some fake stuff?
Drink tons of hours before, and you will piss only water. You might have to retake it in a while, but it buys time.
Dude, I got the best idea ever. Just go write a letter saying that you can't stand [insert a problem of yours] no more and that you're really pissed off. Drop that on your desk and run away and go sleep somewhere safe where you can't be found for around a week, during when you do everything to get clean. After that, you go back to your house and explain why you did this etc... (I'm not telling you to tell the truth). Doing something like that is less worst than ruining your career. Or just tell out your parents and ask for their help like Ty2_d2 said.

Think about it seriously, your career is for all of your life, you probably don't even have a quarter of your life done. Doing a little explainable mistake won't fuck all your career for your future life. I really suggest you doing something to not go to that test.
Throw yourself down the stairs on the day of the test
if you use someone else's' urine, you still have a chance
even though there's a chance of failing due to glucose levels or whatever at least you can re-apply the next year without the label of "substance-abuser"
don't just accept it, try something/anything to get out of this mess
Don't do the test, stall it somehow.

Lol'd. I smoke weed all the time but never before flying. I treat aviation with all the respect it deserves

[QUOTE=GunsNRoses;22656385]Don't do the test, stall it somehow.[/QUOTE]
refusal to take a drug screen when asked, is considered suspicious and they will immediately disqualify you for a certificate and take the one you already have

I have about 2 hours and 33 minutes before I have to be there. I just woke up. I don't think I will be able to find any "clean" urine from a friend in 2 hours. Also, I'm pretty sure ALL my good friends smoke weed regularly
