i havent smoked any weed in over a month and a half, yet im still worried becuz i have an interview and drug test with an airline. i was wondering if anyone knew of a good shampoo, or other way to make sure that i am clean. i have researched this on the internet and have found that repeated washing of my hair may work but it has to be over a long period of time. my test is on the 15th of november. i have some time, but not an eternity. if someone could be of help that would be great!

Thanks

Go Steelers!!!!

Very informative, but can the people who visit here frequently understand half of this? This is for medical professionals, not the general public.

Can you prove where we are wrong using links that the general public can understand?

EntrezPubMed is for professionals.

And yes, the last one is the best, this is the message that I got:

Oh, yes, and cannabis.com will of course toot their own horn.

Hair analysis can detect drug use for several months or more,
depending on the length of the hair.
-Brief periods of abstinence from drugs will not significantly alter the
outcome of hair analysis.
-Contaminating or altering a sample to distort or manipulate test
results is much more difficult with hair than with urine. Preliminary
research shows that even treating hair with a variety of strong
compounds will not completely eliminate traces of illicit drugs. -Hair
is relatively inert, easy to handle, and requires no special storage
facilities or conditions. Compared with urine samples, it presents
fewer risks of disease trasmission.

Hair grows at an average rate of about half an
inch every 30 days.

The best way to pass a drug test is not to use, and washing your hair will not alter the results. As you have heard here technology has eliminated the old ways of cheating. Even cutting off all your hair will do you no good as eyebrows, or pubic hairs can be used. No hair, NO test, NO job.

what are the effects of bupropion?

First of all, they can NOT detect THC. These fake test's detect metabolites from said drugs, which also can come from hundredes of sources.

THC is stored in the fat cells of the body, and then breakes down to be excreated. The more body fat, the longer it lingers in you.

Drinking massive amounts of water will help by flushing fat out of you. BUT, FOR a UA, this can backfire.

You will need a kit to clean your hair, scalp. These cost around $150/kit. Stay away from the $25 shampoo, that's all it is, POO!. It won't work. You want a kit that will generate heat to cook the toxins out. If in a pinch, and you have no other choice, bribe the person giving the test. I have no problem kicking out 5k if it keeps my 100k/year job. Of course, this too could backfire, and you could be charged with a felony. Up to you.

The hair test is geared for the meth-heads. IT is not very good for marijuana, and if you fail, fight it.

I've been tested on and off in the oil field for 10 years, and never once failed! I smoke EVERY day, as much as I can. So, those telling you how "accurate" the testing is, are either miss-informed, or are connected to these pukes making these scam test's up.

Any test developed can be beaten over time. These test are for unemploying people only. They do NOT increase safty in anyway, shape or form.

You can buy a good kit, and then pay to have your own hair test done. Then you will know if it works or not for you. For UA's, I have even been stoned when they gave it to me. My urine was the correct color, ph, etc..., and never questioned about it.

This man is 100% correct. Meth and even coke are next to impossible to get out of your hair. It becomes part of the hair. THC does to some extent, but it CAN be washed out. There are chemicals that open, and penetrate the hair shaft and actually strip out all the "toxins". Its a little bit more difficult for people of African or Asian descent to get THC out of their hair, because dark hair has a thicker cortex. Not impossible, just more work is involved in the process.

Your everyday wal-mart bargain shampoo won't work. Zydot seems to be a good. But don't rely on it alone. You will also need salicylic acid, vinegar, and laundry detergent.
