    Since you asked your recruiter, I'd be really surprised if they grant you an interview now. Prime is very picky. Very picky.

    I am very much against drugs and I do speak my mind when memebers ask the question you did,but after reading all your post I think you deserve a second chance.Everybody makes mistakes especially at a young age like yourself.Its the pier pressure thing.How much did you smoke that night?Don't ask anymore recruiters what kind of drug test they perform.Your as good as disqualified.

    windsmith seems to believe that Prime is very picky about applicants, knowing a little history of Prime I find that thought almost laughable.

    I don't see why asking what kind of drug screening they do is suspicious/grounds for disqualification. I like to be prepared, and personally if it's going to be a urine sample, I don't like to sit in a doctors office and wait for nature to happen. I'll drink enough water / fluids beforehand so I can be out of there faster.

    What I'd really like to know is what they test for... Just standard recreational drugs(marijuana, cocaine , club drugs, amphetamines, psychedelics or whatever), or do they look for other stuff specifically? I don't use recreational drugs, never have. But some preworkout supplements for example have drugs that some sports organizations ban. I doubt Prime or anyone does Olympic testing , but you never know. It would suck to get canned because you took some Jack3d before going to the gym....

    They test for the most obvious,illegal substance,coke ,crank pot that sort of thing.Also don't use Listerine that day cough syrup anything you think would trigger the test..There's times I had to go right when I got at the docors office and they let me immediately take the test then go back in the lobby and wait.

    The MOST common thing is people like me that are drug free don't even ask these kinda questions or even discuss it cause we know were clean and some take vitamins etc... and still not worried. ONLY people guilty ask or post these kinda subjects. STAY CLEAN for awhile then come out and drive. JMO :)
