What's with all the cocaine questions... just so you know, COCAINE KILLS TISSUE ON CONTACT AND CAN INSTANTLY STOP THE HEART! And I can't even begin to count the number of people I know who have become hooked on this after their first time. I still haven't tried it.

The trace amounts of drugs that remain in the hair are removed as the hair gows out - approximately one-half inch per month. As long as your son's hair is less than 4 inches long (based on 8 months), there shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, if you are referring to hair dye, and not your natural color. \n\nHere is a study that was recently done:\nInfluence of the cosmetic treatment of hair on drug testing.\nJurado C, Kintz P, Menendez M, Repetto M.\nInstituto Nacional de Toxicologia, Sevilla, Spain.\n\nHere is what they found: (I quote)\n"In all cases the drug content in hair that had undergone cosmetic treatment decreased in comparison to untreated hair.

According to the following website, it depends on the form of cocaine being produced, and looks like some really nasty chemicals are involved (sulfuric acid, kerosene, benzene, ammonia, etc...). Yuck.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine

Actually no, hair testing is very reliable,  trace elements and the amount of these elements will prove very well even about how long it has been.\n\nA good lab will know the difference. And it also matters which drugs they are testing for, which method is best to use.

the drug stays on the hair permanently until you cut it off. your hair on your head grows about a half an inch a month. you do the math. PS: don't do drugs and you won't have to worry about it.

It depends on the test.  Usually, it's up to 2-3 days, but  urine samples can be positive for cocaine metabolites for a week or longer in adults (and even longer in children--God forbid!!).

It probably has to do with the denaturing of proteins within the hair. Check out the website it might answer your question more thoroughly.

cocaine is a cns stimulant, heart racing, bp goes up, blood is trying to pump faster and harder and the heart is working over time....dangerous drug, death can occur from first time use easily, my suggestion for u is not to use agian if this question is for u, if not try to intervene on the person who is using, the consequences will eventually be deadly... its not worth it for a high u will be chasing every time u use... you will never get that way like the first time, this is called tolerance, each time u use, it makes it harder for the body to respond normally and the next thing u know u are using just to not feel crappy, the high isnt even there anymore... please take some advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if someone is coked out, it means they're either a) currently on cocaine, or b) a habitual cocaine user who is showing signs of stress and drug abuse.  (for example, someone who's pale, too thin, dark circles under eyes, red nose, ratty hair, deep scratch marks on arms, whatever)
