    Well, while I agree with you others won't. I wasn't asking how often you used to use, but it was a question I got often when I worked in the pharmacy.

    In fact, it was the second most popular question asked... Though phrased more as, "How do I get clean for a test in 2 days?" (Not possible.)

    The first most popular was something akin to, "How do you read my doctor's chicken scratch?!"

    I suspect that this type of drug testing was introduced because addicts of any sort have a high chance of returning to substance abuse. Is it right? It's a moral grey area and truthfully statistically impossible to prove.

    Eh, that's okay. In Atlanta, ga we get drunk off our ##### and THEN drive.

    The law says no drinking and driving or no open bottles...

    Get yourself a trim to remove a couple of months of growth.
    Nothing radical, keeping the same look that's on your license.
    Was at orientation a couple of years ago
    Went clean shaven and they commented on how I had hair on my chin in my license picture.

    I merged your two threads. No need to post the same thing in different forums.

    Glad I quit as a teen to prove I could or I would be in big trouble. A year?! Sheesh. I have long facial hair that would've did me in.

    I also know a guy who got a positive by an underarm hair with swift. I hope you all find a way around any obstacle you might face.

    Litigation; a good lawyer leaves no stone unturned; or is that "no stoned unturned."

    Underarm hair is the new secret weapon for drug tests.
    Go with a company that does only urine then in a year change companies.
    It's a real hassle if you get popped for any drug, with the SAP program in place. I just wouldn't risk it.
     
    Tonitos and Sneakerfix Thank this.

    Be aware that African Americans or individuals with thick, curly hair retain much more of the metabolites they are testing for, and for a much longer time.

    White hair, on the other hand, doesn't contain any.

    These are just 2 of the obstacles preventing a nationwide mandate on hair follicle testing.
     
    Tonitos and Chinatown Thank this.
