Was positive for marijuana but take organic dietary supplements.

I am currently trying to get into the USCG and when I had my dip-stick test it came up hot for marijuana.  I haven't even been around that drug or any other drugs for atleast 60 days.  I take Almighty Cleanse a all natural colon cleaner.  I also took ex-lax due to teh fact that I had to get under a wieght limit to join.  I lost 35 pounds in about 60 days on the nighgt before I went for the physical I ran for about a hour and a half with a trash bag on to loose water wieght and I didnt drink or eat anything for about 24 hours.  I need hard facts to prove I didn't have thc in my sytsem without some hard facts my future with the USCG is gone.  Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Corey. You can't take marijuana ever again if you enter the USCG. Also, if you make a career you will be polygraphed as part of the vetting process for certain clearances, and you can't lie. I am not going to come out for or against mary jane, but the facts of the matter are as stated.  They are generally forgiving of teenaged experimentation.

These "Natural" colon cleaners are not usually regulated by the FDA and may have substances in them that are not on the label. I suggest you eat healthy, exercise the old fashion way (not the quick dehydrate yourself way) and stay away from all drugs, herbs, or "natural" supplements / cleaners for >30 days so your body is fit to go into the USCG.
