Q27: Is Hair Testing a good option?

A: No, not at this time. Hair testing is becoming more popular as a less embarrassing and invasive sample matrix (specimen) to test for drugs of abuse. There are several concerns regarding hair testing currently being discussed in scientific and legal forums: 1) Unlike forensic urine drug testing (FUDT), a drug testing method that has been around for close to forty years, laboratories providing hair testing services are not accredited by a national accreditation program; 2) there is scientific concern regarding whether the drug(s) detected by hair testing are incorporated INTO the hair (from actual use) or are simply ON THE SURFACE of the hair (due to environmental contamination or from "passive" exposure) 3) hair grows at approximately one-half inch per month. Therefore, three inches of hair can contain a one-half year record of drug use. If an individual has been through drug rehabilitation, but still has drug in their hair, they may be accused of drug use while actually being drug free and protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); 4) scientific studies in peer reviewed literature have indicated a racial difference in how drug is incorporated into hair and therefore hair testing may be racially biased. 5) lack of universal acceptance in the scientific community and legal circles in a manner similar to that of urine drug testing, which has been around for close to forty years.

I got a job in AC, NJ at a Casino, Took 70MG Adderall TOTAL over course of 3 months for tests, once every two weeks pretty much. Smoked once to celebrate 420, alot of good stuff, havent smoked since then. Have a hair test coming up early/mid July. Anybody know the cutoff for this kind of stuff? You don't have to specific as I don't want this to get off topic. Will macujo work for me? A yes or no, not off topic or specific will suffice. Thank you for your help. Oh and I am also asian. Thank you

Looks like you copied and pasted this from some conspiracy website. Let me break it down for you .


Completely ignorant. Check the credentials for Quest Diagnostics and Psychemedics, two of the bigger hair testers, and sadly they are no joke. Might as well through Labcorp in there too. They might not have some special stamp or letters by their names but they have proved they know what they are doing and it is acceptable science.

They wash the hair samples for like 6 hours to remove surface contamination. Impossible to suggest second hand or environmental exposure.

That is why in the U.S. and most other countries, they only go back 1 and 1/2 inches. Also, it becomes inaccurate after 90 days
They could be right on this one. They say it doesn't discriminate against African Americans and those with thick black hair but I have seen it might. AA's have a lower success rate of passing on here using Maccujo. This may just mean they have a harder time beating the test and it really didn't discriminate because well they did smoke.

It has held up in court and it has actually worked both ways, clearing some people. The science is sound just hard to accept because we like our pot. Hell, to say urine testing is universally accepted is a stretch. Sec3 owns a urine collection site and she doesn't agree with how THC testing is conducted.

The threshold for THC is 3 sessions over a 1 and 1/2 inch length of hair but you make it sound like you smoked an ounce on 4/20 which wouldn't be what they consider a session. A session is one normal high.

Please don't ask about the Adderall again, it is off topic.

I agree. It's total bullshit.
