I recently graduated from art school (so right off the bat it should be understood that I dabbled in drugs) and had a great job offering in a company that is notorious for hair testing. Knowing that I was floating straight up ****s creek I came clean to the employer about my past smoking. He then suggested I take a private screening at a local lab.

I had two weeks under my belt being clean. Before that I was a regular smoker, though took one hitter hits ( quanity doesn't matter?) and had the occasional bowl now and then. Regardless, I searched this board like it was the back of my hand and started preparing. I used aloe rid ( both parts) multiple times a day for two weeks and the morning of the test recieved the afterburner shampoo and used that an hour prior to the test. Anyways, I came negative on all drugs except marijuana...which is odd since I have a prescription to adderall (amphetamines) and take 45 mg a day consistently for 5 months and it didn't register in my hair. Back to the dope, the cut off on the sheet said 1pg/10mg...I had 10.9pg/10mg...(Can anyone decode that for me?)

I wonder what went wrong. I luckily found out that the employer will grant me 7-8 more weeks to flush my systerm, so that is cool as hell.

I was wondering if working out or doing the adkins diet would help. I am about 5'9 and 230 lbs...since THC stays in the fatty cells I can imagine the first time I smoked could be still with me (4yrs ago) since I get NO excercise and eat like a slob.
Oh well, I really benfited from this site and all you posters, lets beat this craziness!!!
b.t.w--i took the pychemedics test( sure someone would ask that one!)

Don't know how long your hair is, but cut it 1 inch long...no shorter or they will take it from another body part...also try going in the sauna before washing your hair...don't know if it works but it cannot hurt...I find it hard to believe that they are giving you 8 weeks to get clean...anyway clear choice shampoo is what I used...don't know if it worked but I did pass...also try the vinegar, clean and clear, tide thing...also can't hurt...most of all no smoking...none!

He's right about cutting your hair. An inch is the very closest no more. With the wrong person cutting that might be too short. Start now with Paul Mitchell 3 cleanse shampoo. Everyday, it won't hurt your hair. Once or twice a week do a 10 minute vinegar soak before you shampoo. Also when you shampoo do it twice. The second time let the PM3 sit for ten minutes or so. Shave or something. Cut your hair and do this for 8 weeks its almost a sure thing. Hell it should be grown clean by then. If you smoke anywhere in this time period all bets are off. Good Luck

the employer is giving me more time to take a practice test (again) It's pretty believable since I was honest about my situation up front and he doesn't want me to fail on a pre-employment test and have it on my record....believe it or not but some employers that hair test are actually kind hearted people....i said some, mind you.
anyways, thanks for the tips...i my hair to about 1.5 in but they took less then an inch....so...who knows.

about that shampoo, the clear choice...isnt that just a masking agent and cant they detect that at the lab?

steel, thanks for the tips...i appreciate it...one quick one though..u say use PM3...whats the difference, if any, between that and aloe rid?

Thanks you guys...i was so happy and relieved that u guys posted, especially when i see 15 viewings it gets me thinking why all those other peeps dont chime in?

Peace..talk to u sooner or later!

Real fast...does the sauna really do anything at all???

I think we're in the same boat as far as time is concerned. I've been clean for two and a half weeks and my test is coming up in a week. I considered myself a regular smoker ( I smoked a weekend in June where I took a few hits off of a blunt on 2 or 3 different occasions; and then I took a few hits off of a blunt or two this past 4th of July weekend). Does this seem like the amount you smoked as well? I'm starting the McCujo method of hair cleaning and I'm doing that everyday up until the day I have to take the test. Good luck on your second test.

i wouldn't consider that a regular smoker...in my opinion, it seems more like ur a casual smoker....anyone else agree???

anyways, i had been smoking one hitter packs probably 4-5 times a day, 3 or 4 packs a round. now im not sure if quanity means anything but i suppose i was smoking a dime every 2-3 days...had to conserve.

i hadnt done the mcjuco method...it just seemed too crazy bt now im thinkin i should try.
thanks for ur kind words, i hope that the second test will bode better especially with 50-60 days clean under my belt.


*****DOES ANYONE KNOW IF WORKING OUT OR DIETING CAN HELP THE PROCESS OF CLEANSING THE BLOOD, AND IN TURN DILUTE THE HAIR******

The difference between Aloe Rid and Paul Mitchell 3 cleanse is the kind and amount of EDTA in them. EDTA is a chelator. Chelators are used to remove metals from the body among other things. The good clarifing shampoos use 3 or more different chelators. Using vinegar before the shampoo helps prep the hair.
Someone asked about saunas. Yes from what I've read metabolites are sensitive to humidity. Probably doesn't hurt to expand (heat) the folicle prior to shampooing too.
I personally used this method and passed. But everyone is different.
The length of time of continuous use, the quality and even your hair type.
I used everyday for years but also quit early to prepare.
I believe continuous use is the worst. Your hair only grows so much in a day. So theres only so much evidence left in your hair in a day. But smoke everyday for months and you leave a long trail to get rid of.
Good luck. You got a great employer here - I'd do everything I could to get this job.

great post, i hope that helps others out as it will for me. Do u know anything about changing diet or (starting to) exercise. I know for urine testing it helps to work out to flush the system...is this the same for hair possibly? I am worried to do this just because if I start burning all my fat, wont the thc just flow into the blood?

Thanks again for replying...god knows only 50some people view this thread and dont say ****.

make that 60some...jeeze
