And not everyone has THC in their system from some "natural source".  There is a certain baseline amount required for a "positive" test.  So you will not fail for just a very small "trace".  But there is no way you can reduce the amount below "trace" level by ingesting something else.

I don't mean to be starting a fight.  I just think this as misinformation that could possibly get someone on trouble.

Considering I pointed out from the get go that I don't remember what you had to do to beat the test, I don't see how that could be the case.
Now, had I said "drink the glasses of OJ and eat 2 bananas and you'll pass" or something like that, then I would agree with you.

But the fact remains, this guy DID work in the testing, and DID pass weekly despite smoking DAILY.  This is because they would look at the report and say "X ng/ml of THC, but item Y is X-10 ng/ml and item Z is also X ng/ml, so it cannot be concluded this individual was smoking marijuana". For the record, it should be obvious that I made up the numbers as examples.  You don't have to believe what the guy said, but I do, as he never failed a test...
