I have to take a drug test next week for this summer job that I have worked the past two years. Well I smoked mar1juana about two months ago and also popped some pills around the same time. Now the company does a hair or follicle test and normally I wouldn't be to worried about whether the results come about positive or negative but my father is going to see the results so I know if I fail then I'm going to have to hear it from everybody in my family. I am pretty sure that it will come back saying I have used something because I heard that hair samples can be used to trace back up to 18 months. So am I screwed or what? I know a ton of tricks to pass a urine test but does anybody know any tricks to pass a hair/follicle test? P.S. Please don't tell me to shave off all my body hair.
This is an edit of my original post: I misread and thought you had smoked 18 months ago, not two. Anyway, you may be in trouble. Hair testing CAN go back as far as 90 days. It may not always pick it up that far back, but it does have the ability to. Anyway, stay clean and cross your fingers.
Dude, they make special detox shampoo. I've never used them, so I can't recomend a certain one, but if you go to Bizaar Bazaar or any head shop they should be able to help you out. PS, don't mention that you're trying to get over on a drug test specifically. Be vague, they'll know what your talking about. It's like how you have to call a bong a water pipe when you are in the store. Some weird thing about the law.
I would try the shampoo, but the way the hair test works is that each day your hair grows a bit, and anything you eat or intake that day is stored in that days growth. I would get it cut REAL short....but they take the hair from the crown at the back of your head. Try the shampoo and pray...but I think your best bet is to not do drugs. DD
I'd say that if you smoked heavy and quit you might be in trouble.If you just smoked a couple of times you'll probably be alright..either way I'd still be looking for that shampoo.
Go for the shampoo. Like someone said, any decent head shop can help you out, and don't forget to be vague. How much did/do you smoke? Once? Occasionally? Often? How much you smoke affects how long that stuff stays in your body. If you had to do a UA, I'd tell you that you'd be fine after smoking two months ago, but to drink a lot of water and do some regular exercise and you'd almost definitely be fine. I don't know much about those follicle tests, but after a couple of months, you should be good. Good luck. 302
Announce to the world that you are going to become a professional swimmer and shave it all off if you really wanna sell it, yammer on and on about drag coefficient, and how that Australian big foot is your new hero or not
THC is usually out of your blood stream in 24-48 Hours. They generally disperse from the Kidneys in 48-64 hours. THC leaves the liver in a couple of weeks, stay in the fatty tissues sometimes for up to a month; and toxins are traceable in hair folicles for up to 5 years!
One more thing, although it really won't help you either way. Toxins stay in dark colored hair longer than light colored hair. For this reason the ACLU has decried the use of hair testing as biased against African-Americans and other dark haired minority groups. If you are black or Asian, you could play the race card and demand a urine test instead of hair testing.
I'm shocked they're doing a hair test. Those things are sort of expensive... what sort of job is this?
Where did you get the info concerning THC? According to: http://www.drkoop.com/conditions/ency/article/003578.htm and other web sites, THC (with heavy use) stays in your blood stream up to 11 weeks.
Tell em it's just seeping through your windows and you'd never Smoke weed and shave your hair to 1/4"
Lol... I just mean, it's usually not worth it for places that supply people with "summer jobs" to go through the expense of a hair test. If their performance will be hurt through drug use, they'll find out pretty quickly, anyway. And most "casual users" show no side-affects at work. I've heard that some companies do the piss test just so they'll know if you can "hold-off" the drugs long enough, if you do use them, to show that they don't control you.
If you do get busted...contact almost any Olympic athlete...they seem to have plenty of excuses when they get caught...and of course they are all legit!
