    I was young and dumb.
    Being 22, I see all the dumb things I did and realize I was stupud. Back when I was 20 it was common for me to do coke on the weekends. 21 I started to slow down, only using occasionally. Once in August and once in September. Ever since then I have been drug free since Sept. 5 because I am trying to get my life straight and I may have a great opportunity ahead of me. If everything works out, I might be getting a hair follicle test in July. Everywhere I read everyone has something different to say. I am just wondering, does anyone think I should be in the clear? Or will it still show up because I used frequently 1.5 to 2 years ago?

    I can't say with 100% certainty but you may be OK. While they can certainly go back pretty far in a follicle test the person or persons requiring the test may only ask to go back so far, or at least this is what I am told.
    P.S. props for getting your life in order
    P.S.S. I find it hilariously ironic that you misspelled stupid. :p

    My cousin went threw that, and he was in the clear. I think he said he clears out of your system within 6 months. If I were you I would have nothing to worry about

    Hair follicle test is different from a normal piss test. Follicle testing allows them to go back further in your drug usage history.

    Yea Ive read so much material on it, some say 3 months, some say your whole life.. Im just hoping if I do get this job opportunity that I do pass, because I will be set for life with a good career.

    They may not be concerned with what you did or didn't do 2 years ago. I personally think 1 year is sufficient but I guess it depends on the type of job.
