It depends on what kind of drug you did.

Are you talking about the drug testing involving analyzing the hair follicle or shaft or something like that?  Not likely.  The hair is extracted from your scalp for testing, not testing while still firmly implanted in your scalp.

I knew some people in the Air Force who tested positive for drugs. First, he needs to get a military lawyer. He will suggest a hair sample test for the drug. However, if you are guilty of doing drugs, they will have to put you through a rehab program before you are dishonorable discharged.

drugs in general will pass through your system within a few months and not show up in a urinalisis, but they can still be detected though blood and hair folicles.

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.

3 months in your system, probably longer in your hair.\n\nBest to admit to health professional conducting test that you are casual smoker, or have stopped.\n\nGood luck.

No. Through blood, urine, and hair folicle tests..

Abolutely not!  Drugs are not stored in the spine!  Please get this myth out of your head once and for all.  LSD, for instance, fully metabolizes in about 48 hours.  It does not get stored in the spine.  You could possibly detect drug use by hair clippings, but that loses effectiveness after a few months.  You are not going to find that someone used drugs several years ago by hair clippings.  Unless the hair clippings are from several years ago.  Plus, I'm sure you've had a few haircuts and shedded some hair since then.  Also, even if you did use drugs several years ago how can that be counted against you?

If by "in your system," you mean for how long will you test positive on a urine test, the usual answer is 3-4 days.  It might be a little longer  than that (maybe a week or more)for someone who smokes as much as you.  \n\nBut that's for a urine test, which is the usual test for employment purposes.  But cannibis can be detected for much long through a hair test:  30 days, 60 days, or really as long as you still have the hair that was growing at the time you were smoking.

If the drug screening uses a hair folicle test then yes. Second hand marijuana smoke can show up in a hair folicle approximately one month after exposure. However, since that particular screening is very expensive most employers use a urinalysis or blood test, in which case most people will pass the test.

Ecstasy can be detected via chemical tests to your urine, blood, salvia and hair. However, there is no certain period of time that is valid for everybody to say that it diminishes or stays. It depends on your body's chemical features and reaction to the substance. Roughly the time periods of detection can be accebted as: in blood 24 hours, in urine 24 to 72 hours, in salvia 48 hours and in a pin of hair in 6 months. However, MDMA is not detected with every simple test on your body. The tests must include some sort of an amphetamine examination. So basicly, the answer to your question in this manner is, yes the MDMA can be "detected" in your system in periods longer than 3 days from the time of consumption. However, you do not "feel" its presence in your system for 3 days.Detection times need to be considered in conjunction with the weight, age, gender and general health of the user. The following figures are intended as a rough guide to the elimination times of ecstasy from the body.

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.

first off what are you doing that means you cant have weed trace in your hair? second it would still look unfavourable that you were condoning pot smoking. if you're trying to avoid the police, i believe 6 months is the standard time for trace to leave your body (I watch a lot of CSI)

2 weeks. but there is a loop hole. as long as you dont scratch off any skin onto the mouth swab it might not detect anything. a friend got stoned right before the drug test. he pasted because his mouth was so dry and he rubbed the swab on his teeth, not the inside of his cheek.

For an urine or blood drug test, THC metabolites [the active ingredient in marijuana] show up for a period of 28 to 30 days after the last time you smoked. If a hair sampling drug test is done, it may take months or even years [if you're long-haired] for THC traces to disappear completely from your system. But, if you smoked for medical reasons [marijuana is a medically recognized treatment for nausea and vomiting in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy; it even comes in pill form, under the brand name of MARINOL; get your oncologist to prescribe it for your use], then you can't be discriminated against or otherwise penalized if a positive result comes back. It's unconstitutional and illegal to do so, because it may constitute discrimination against your person in basis of a disabling condition. You may want to consult an attorney regarding this issue for further advise. Good luck, and hope that you get better real soon.

If you have done coke only one time.... It can be gone as soon as the next day. \n\nother drugs can/will stay in your system longer.\n\nWhen they are testing w/ hair, I under stand it to be much longer that they can find stuff in your system.
