hair folical test

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!!!!

I am not aware that any test can detect THC after one and a half month.

J_9 agrees: That just goes to show how far out of the loop you are.
talaniman disagrees: Marijuana can be detected for 3 months by a comprehensive urine test and they can tell the last time you used it.

First the washing of the hair is a myth, does not work, what is tested is not on the outside of the hair but on the inside, from the chemical content inside the hair. Perhaps shaving the hair off would work.

Minor amounts can be found up to 3 months, but I doubt that after a month there would be enough to be over the limits to show positive on the test.

The hair at the end, not near the scalp, can be tested. What is in that strand remains until it is cut off.

This is why some companies are resorting to strand tests to check for drugs. It cannot be washed out of the system like you can clean out your system for a urine test.

If you have not cut your hair in a year and you smoked 9 months ago, there is a good chance they will find it in a strand test.

J_R is right. If your hair has grown for 10 years and you smoked 9 years ago, it will show up.
I didn't know they did hair strand test because of the cost? The last test I was aware of was the "mouth swab". It is very cheap to do and the person can't cheat. The urine tests are out because there are too many ways to cheat.
How did your test go and what kind of a test did they do?

Oh, there are new urine tests out there now, and you can't cheat!!! I just had to take a 10-panel drug screen for school, and it was only $20. Any substance you put in your body to rid yourself of the indicated drug is found.

We temporarily lost about 4 people because of cough medication that contained codeine. After proof of prescription they were allowed back in.

J_9.. I am in a jail counseling group for my church and I was talking more about the way these women use others urine. You would not believe what some of these women say they have gotten away with.
Maybe I am naivete(?) but they convinced me that they are very good at getting away with this, but who knows?
I have a neighbor who, I know, has gotten away with cheating on a urine test... but this was a long time ago and things have changed.
In E.R we do a mini cath.

Oh, yes, a mini-cath is the best by far. When I took mine a few weeks ago, the nurse did a physical to see if we had anything on us, and stood in the bathroom and watched.

She not only took our urine, but did a "dip" test in the toilet and in the jar to check pH levels. She expained that if pH levels did not match then it was not our urine.

I had a friend one time who's boyfriend used her urine for a test and the results came back that Bobby was pregnant!!!!!!!!!

The last urine drug test that I took showed every drug that was foreign to my body and how much it measuered out to be. Marijuana stays in the system for 3 months and can be detected no matter what you use to disguise it, with the right test.

Here are some links in regard to testing for marijuana:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Abstracp

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...t_uids=7595299

The last one is probably the best.
