    Sure, and then since they ALWAYS use split samples, they'll check the second sample, and if diluted, you can immediately retest... so I don't buy that ANYONE failed a drug test for anything but being positive for drugs.

    You can go get a hair folical test done.goes back 7 years and will tell everything.if you are telling the truth on you being clean this should not be a problem and will override that bad test. Good luck. You should not have waited so long.

    Walking away might have screwed ya. This happened to me once but I had the drug test when I was sick and had been taking dayquil and Niquil like candy which showed up on the test but once I explained they gave a second drug test and I passed.

    7 years? Bud, you've been listening to way too many truckstop drug test experts.

    Yeah 7 years seems a bit much. I do know you can get a lot of knowledge from the hair but 7 years seems like a long time.

    60-90 days for most things, up to 120 for really heavy use of radical stuff... but 7 years is truckstop know-it-all BS.

    Right on... and scary - she was hot in 1980 when I saw her in concert with Eddie Rabbit... can't imagine what she looks like now.

    I'm just amazed that with all the info available that people spout off ridiculous, misleading stuff... or believe it unconditionally because some guy in a truckstop told them so - google it, find a legitimate website and READ.

    And wikipedia isn't considered legitimate...

    Hair follicle test is inconclusive after 90 days
    If you don't believe it look at the Burlington Northern
