Hi, everybody. I've been a lurker on this site for a while. I'm female, 5'2, 110 pounds, last times I smoked were heavily during week of Thanksgiving vacation, and then heavily during the 2 weeks surround Christmas and New Year's of 2008. Literally, the last time I smoked was on New Year's Eve. Between that, I didn't smoke. But during those weeks, I smoked very heavily...several blunts/bowls per day.
Just got a job offer, but it's contingent on my passing a drug test. I'm pretty sure I'll be fine, but I don't know what kind of a test it'll be. It's not a government position, but it's a fairly prestigious company.
The funny thing is, my would-be boss told me that he personally doesn't care but he had to fire a bunch of people who failed their drug tests (the employees work while the background/drug test clears). He was basically warning me to lay off on it until the test is done (it'll be done around next week).
I have no plans to smoke until the job is secure. From everything I've heard, I'm sure it'll be a urine test, but I'm just freaking out that it'll be a hair follicle test, even though those are v. expensive. The thing with the follicle test is...I have long, healthy hair. They'll be able to see waaaay into the past. Long, continuous periods of weed use. None of the hard stuff, but still not what I want them to see. I can't really shave my head or even cut it short, because it'll be obvious.
My employer also told me that there would be no random drug tests, just the pre-employment ones. I love weed, but if this is a hair follicle test, I'm going to be screwed.
Sorry for the long rant. Will anyone reassure me that it'll be a urine test and not a hair follicle one?
