    Default Another "will I pass my drug test?" thread (hair follicle/urine)

    Only asking because I've never had to take a hair follicle test before...for this job I had to though...and although I passed the urine test I don't know if I'll pass the hair follicle test



    I took 2 hits about 2 weeks ago...whether or not this is a concern IDK...


    but I'm more worried about 5 weeks ago...when I was smoking just about every day for a 2 week period of time while on vacation in a very lenient MMJ state



    now I've been told that these tests can detect drug use history as far back as your hair is long...up to 6 months or so...



    The question is- how long ago are they concerned about? And how sensitive are these tests? Sensitive enough to detect 2 hits?


    If I do fail I plan on telling the company that I was at a party where I was exposed to it but I'm not a user



    Meanwhile, I'm going to call back another company that called me back and asked to interview me...and shave my head or something just in case they wanna give me such an intrusive test

    I can't offer an answer, but i very much understand your explanation.

    My brother was at uni last year and lived in a house where the owner also lived there. Her rules were that any smoking, even outside of the house, was merit for an eviction. In the end he got evicted, but i was very much interested in the legality of kicking someone else on that basis. As you say, how can you prove he was smoking? Or you in this case. He could have been stood at a bus top next to someone with a igarette, and lost his house because of it, so far as i am concerned, that should be illegal.
    I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.

    The bad news is, follicle tests provide a three-month window.
    The good news is, two hits in those three months should not give a damaging signal. cn

    well the bad news, I guess, is that if they're concerned with my past 3 month drug history, I'm fucked


    Guess I'll be calling that other company that wanted an interview back, on Monday...and just hoping they don't give me one of these fucking follicle tests

    Just take the test and claim a vacation. The fact that you're clean now will show, if they test right. But I'
    d rather try&fail than be scared off. cn

    If i fail the follicle test (probably)....I'll tell them I've been exposed to second hand pot smoke at a party and that I'm willing to take and pay the $10 per test and test myself for the company on a 2-week basis or whatever...


    But yea just incase that don't slide I'm calling that other company on Monday. Fucking follicle tests....I'd have to wait another 6 weeks to clear that 90-day period since I was smoking regularly in colorado

    Claim a vacation? What good would that do after I already fail the follicle test?


    And the oilfield isn't like that. There's no "claiming vacations"

    I'm sorry to hear that. I'm out of advice, and will fall back to wishing you luck. cn

    No way. Drug tests have only ever had the effect of making money for drug testing companies and the government. They don't increase workplace safety.
