Drug Test Question

I have a question. I'm not worried about a piss test or anything, but my psychology professor told a story to the class about this friend of another professor who tested for cocaine in the system. They took the test by using hair on the persons body.
I have heard that it is in your hair for an extremely long time, a lot longer than in your urine. I could quit for a month no problem, but a year or longer would be very difficult. Does anyone know if companies taking drug tests with hair is becoming more common?

Hair tests are still fairly uncommon. However, they do make special shampoos, and somewhere on the web is a database of a lot of companies and if/what types of tests they use.

lol. I actually have never done coke and never will. I forgot to mention in my original post that I'm worried about weed showing up, I just heard a story from my professor about cocaine showing up.

you won't get hair tested, unless youre working for some special company that can afford it...even then, it's highly unlikely. but may I ask, why are you concerned about this? Have you been told or warned by your employer that a drug test will be randomly given?

Yeah if its gonna be a test, its gonna be urine, less the place you are working for has the $$$ and the reason. Parents can take their kids hair and get it tested without them knowning.

hehe in high school my parents threatened me with a hair test kit. They threatened to use it for a year. Needless to say I got really into psychedelics during that time, because even in most hair tests, mushrooms, acid, mescaline, etc still won't show up.
Personally Im done with drug tests. That means that if Im in a situation upon where Im being threatened with one, then I change my scenario correspondingly. Im 21, and at the moment living with my parents. I'm moving out in less than 4 months, so Ive decided to not use any substances until that point in time. Ive had to fuck around with alot of drug tests in the last few years, and it's personally just not worth the time and hassle it takes to manipulate results anymore. Plus I can't help feeling like a douche bag when I lie to my family like this.

The standard drug tests only test for: Cannabinoids, Cocaine, Amphetamines, Opiates, and Phencyclidine. Although they can test for other stuff it's much rarer. I think hair tests go back 3 months, so you wouldn't have to quit for a year. Also, hair tests run about $100-$150 while urine tests are only about $7-$50, so unless the compnay has a real reason for it, i doubt they'd waste the cash.
