Hair Drug Testing

I am going to have to take a mandatory drug test for a new job in the near future. It is a state job. I found out that they do drug testing via hair samples. Is it possible to detect a cycle of test enanthate by this method. I know that I can use the cleanse to get it out of my blood and urine relatively quickly.

I highly, HIGHLY doubt your job will test you for steroids.

They will test for the usual subjects(opiates and THC).

Be carefull with the THC though. I hear up to 6 months is possible if your a regular smoker.

Shave your head and get a body wax. You’re hired.

They will take your eyebrows if needed.

Six months in the urine or hair? Wouldnt it grow out once you get a few hair cuts. I have no idea how that works.

He said body wax, not part-of-your-body wax.

BTW…I’m not a “he”

You’re in luck either way. They sell shampoo masking agents for $20 bucks at most supplement stores.

Not to discredit the OP, but are you SURE they are taking hair samples?? I don’t think they even do that for the damn CIA, what kind of job are you applying for anyway??

And even if you are correct on the hair test, like the previous post said they will not be testing for EVERY illegal drug. They only test for specific compounds. Unless you look like that freak show Greg Valentino, I think then you may be in a heap-o-trouble.

I knew a guy that was going to be a machine operator at a Kraft food plant and they did hair follicle testing. If the job has any kind of responsibility where people could potentially get hurt or killed then I would be surprised if they didn’t test you.

Well I’ll be damned, I guess as technology changes it’s getting cheaper these days.
I stand corrected.
Whatever happened to the good 'ole days when a few days on Golden Seal did the trick? lol

Dont know if it works, but what the hell…

Sorry.

On a somewhat related note, the detection time for dianabol has been extended.

Mass spectrometric identification and characterization of a new long-term metabolite of metandienone in human urine.

Schanzer W, Geyer H, Fussholler G, Halatcheva N, Kohler M, Parr MK, Guddat S, Thomas A, Thevis M.

Center for Preventive Doping Research-Institute of Biochemistry, German Sport University Cologne, Carl-Diem Weg 6, 50933 Cologne, Germany.

Anabolic-androgenic steroids are some of the most frequently detected drugs in amateur and professional sports. Doping control laboratories have developed numerous assays enabling the determination of administered drugs and/or their metabolic products that allow retrospectives with respect to pharmacokinetics and excretion profiles of steroids and their metabolites. A new metabolite generated from metandienone has been identified as 18-nor-17beta-hydroxymethyl,17alpha-methyl-androst-1,4,13-trien-3-one in excretion study urine samples providing a valuable tool for the long-term detection of metandienone abuse by athletes in sports drug testing. The metabolite was characterized using gas chromatography/(tandem) mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography/high-resolution/high-accuracy (tandem) mass spectrometry by characteristic fragmentation patterns representing the intact 3-keto-1,4-diene structure in combination with typical product ions substantiating the proposed C/D-ring structure of the steroid metabolite. In addition, structure confirmation was obtained by the analysis of excretion study urine specimens obtained after administration of 17-CD(3)-labeled metandienone providing the deuterated analogue to the newly identified metabolite. 18-Nor-17beta-hydroxymethyl, 17alpha-methyl-androst-1,4, 13-trien-3-one was determined in metandienone administration study urine specimens up to 19 days after application of a single dose of 5 mg, hence providing an extended detection period compared with commonly employed strategies.

My buddy had to take a drug test via hair sample for a job. He knew about it and ahead of time didn’t smoke for 2 months, he was a regular Bud Smoker. Coincidentally he was on a cycle the time of his drug test. They took an armpit hair sample. He ended up getting the job.

Main points
2 months to rid your hairs the THC resins. They did the armpit hairs because allegidly the THC stays in those hairs the longest.

Also, he was on a cycle the time of the test. He got the job. Either they don’t test for it or they don’t care about it.

Good Luck!

Most places, most being 99.9% will not test for steroids, unless there is a suspicion. The Amry does not randomly test for steroids, only if a commander ask for it, and I would assume that is the same everywhere. Nor does the fed. gov.

My question though is, wouldnt the remnants of thc stay in the hair until the hair "grows out’ of does it “fade away” with time??

I will definately be searching this the next few days.

I don’t know for sure, but I am now under the assumption that over time if you discontinue drug use it will leave the hair. I assume this because my friend who smoked weed stopped for a few months then was tested. They took a sample of his armpit hair. His armpit hair was never cut, this hair at one time would have been analyzed and showed a positive test. After time the same hair showed a zero amount of the drug. They test hair because it has the longest remnants of the drug. That is why I assume that over time the THC or whatever will leave the hair. So I believe it fades away. What do you think? Sound logical?

I had to have a hair test done for my first job at a grocery store.

I think once it gets into the hair follicle, it never leaves. I don’t really see how an actual hair could “Shed” something like that. It probably eventually falls out and a new THC free hair replaces it.

I think some drugs are on the outside of the hair and can move up or down somehow. Some drugs can be dated to within a month or so.

I also doubt they would test for drugs that aren’t Schedule I because someone could claim:

-they are prescription, and they would be required to produce a prescription

-that if they test for one prescription drug (test cyp) they would have to test for ALL such schedualed drugs

-and the above point could bring up serious privacy issues
