Help! Will a hair test detect if you did a drug once 5 months ago?

Possibly. Why don't you just using drugs?????? Clean up your act.

because urine testing is just within the last 30 days, blood and hair stays in your system way longer, i don't know anything about the swab.  but the hair test can show what you have done in the last yr or so!

it shouldn't.  amphetamines are cleared relatively quickly from the system and are really only present in your urine for a day or two.  \n\nhowever, there are newer tests of your hair that can detect ecstasy for longer

Not likely. Not only that, most places that test for drugs (especially if this has anything to do with "the law") also test urine for dilution, since this is the most common method people tend to use to try to mask (or get rid of) the drug from being detected in their systems. Usually, what else is "looked for" are the common ingredients found in your over-the-counter type supposed "remedies". None of them work anyway, and if your urine is found to have any of those common components (like in those drinks you can buy that supposedly work)- or your urine has too much water in it, or the ph level is off, usually this will count as a "dirty u.a.". Meth usually takes 7-10 days to clear the system, sometimes longer, and there's really not much you can do at all to "speed things up". Your best bet- in the future, is, to not use the drug.\n\n-Tera (time4u420@yahoo)

Toxicology screens (drug testing) done on blood and urine specimens can reveal the presence of many chemicals and drugs in the body. The sensitivity depends upon the sensitivity of the test, the substance itself, when the substance was taken, and the testing laboratory. Blood tests are more likely to detect the presence of an abused substance than urine tests, however, urine drug screens are more frequently done. Opiates and narcotics are usually present in the urine 12 to 36 hours after the last use, depending on the amount used and the frequency. Central Nervous System stimulants such as cocaine can be detected in urine anywhere between 1 to 12 days, again depending in frequency of use. Central Nervous System depressants such as Valium and Xanax are detected up to 7 days after the last day of use, mostly depending on the substance used and how quickly it is eliminated by the body (half-life). Most hallucinogens are also detectable in the urine up to 7 days after the last use. However, cannabis can be detected up to 28 days in regular users. This is only a really rough guide and each person eliminates (gets rid of a substance) at different rates and many factors can influence a test result including how regularly the drug was used. It is impossible to predict whether or not a drug may be present in your bodily fluid or whether the test used will be sensitive enough to detect it.

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.

6 months at least but i would buy some hair detox. its a shampoo that you can buy that should clean out your hair.

Yes, it will stay in your system for at least a month.  It will also show in your hair follicles for months.  There is really nothing you can do about it unless you have one of the cheats available, like the bag with real pee.  Even if you didn't smoke it, if you are in a situation where pot is being smoked, you can inhale it and it will show up in a drug test...sorry dude.

Using coke or heroin or whatever isn't a wise thing to do anyway. Whether a test will find traces of drugs used after a certain time depends on the test itself. A normal blood test generally doesn't find much after 36-72 hours. Traces of marijuana can be found even weeks or months in urine-tests. Coke can be found several months after you used it in your hair! The best way to not get caught on using drugs:\nDon't use it! (It's better for both your physical and mental health anyway).

Yes, companies accept hair tests. For example, my wife works for the Department of Homeland Security and they only accept hair tests.\n\nHere are some figures on hair tests:\n\n--For every 100 applicants tested, 15 more drug users were identified using hair as compared to urine. \n\n--Hair testing is more effective than urine test for identifying drug-abusing applicants. Hair detects 6.6 times more abusers than urine. \n \n--Hair is more effective in detecting  serious drugs such as cocaine. Hair detects 16 times more cocaine users than urine.

yes. they can take hair off your arms too. Plus they will conclude that you bleached and cut your hair to circumvent drug testing.

A hair test is done because they want to go back in history your history.They can tell 3-5 months if you did it,however in a urine test the results stay in at least 5 days then it's gone.

First problem is that there is no sure way to pass a drug unless of course your clean. Many websites offer things to supposedly "cleanse" your system but nothing works except for time. But, one thing that can actually speed up the rate at which your body is cleansed is hair and nail growth pills. They helped me out, but of course, if shes getting a hair drug test then this is no good because it actually deposits the drugs into new hair and nails. Enjoi

3 days in a urine sample, other tests can detect longer (blood, hair)

None here. They all get hair follice drug tests regularly, just like most other departments.

This all depends.  How big are you, how much do you smoke?  THC is stored in your fat cells.  The bigger you are, the longer it sticks around. The more you smoke, the longer it sticks with you.  If you are trying to pass a drug test, best thing you can do is buy something to clean you out from your local head shop.  Otherwise, unless you smoke very little amounts & can wait about a month.  Then you could probably pass a urine/blood test.  It takes 6 months or more for it to be undetectable in your hair.

it can sty in your system for up to 30 days but it can also be detected in a strand of your hair for up to 6 months
