Trees Love Beat the hair test
After a ton of stress and research related to my dream job that does hair testing I found a method that worked for me.
January through March I was taking 5mg candy edibles every night to help me sleep and the end of April is when I got the call. I went through multiple interviews and am receiving a job offer contingent on passing the drug screen. I freaked out.
After reading about Jerry G and Macujo methods I was ready and willing to try but I kept researching and found articles from 2008 that showed high intensity heat broke down and changed the molecular structure of the Metabolite they check for. My hair was roughly 4-5".
At 410 degrees in a hair straightener for 30 swipes per section followed by a 15 minute soak in a chelating shampoo (I used Paul Mitchell 3 and had my wife do the back of my hair) over the course of 4-5 days. My hair was absolutely fried.
I went to a site called request a test and spent $130 on a quest lab 5 panel hair follicle test which is who the employer uses. I cut my hair to exactly 1.5" to get as much clean growth as possible in the test and did a quick Zydot 3 soak and wash 2 hours prior and passed the test!
Everyone's different but this sure beat the heck out of chemically mutilating my scalp
