Drug test question - Hyundai Performance Forums

i've only ever smoked marijuana very seldomly at parties, maybe like 15 times in my whole life. last time i did it was at the beginning of august, and im done with it for good. anywho, so im appplying for this job and there is no doubt that i will pass the piss test BUT are hair tests common these days for normal applications? it says on the description page:

" EOE/AA M/F/H/V Pre-employment drug testing and background checks are required."

Dont hair test go back for a couple years? i doubt this place uses them because it is a semi-big college student recruitment company, but i just want to make sure.

Only as long as your hair is. Shave your head=no history...

im not shaving my head. my hair grows so fast that there is probably only 2 years of new hair anyway.

It's uncommon to do the hair test for pre-employment screening, and the hair test isn't that great at catching sporadic pot smoking anyways. There is a certain amount of allowance given for being in the room with pot smokers that should be much higher than occasional party usage.

I thought marijuana was fat-based, so a hair test wouldn't matter anyways. Hair tests are more common for suspected cocaine users.

I left the hospital and worked in a private office where I did about 5 drug tests per day. One time did I have to do that out of two in a half years of working there. But pot doesnt show up in your hair. Its mainly coke and stuff that will. You just need to do #1 and be on your way.

Your mean to me because of meds but your a pot head......freak. No im kidding I used to smoke myself but I quit senior year of high school. Way before the kids came.
