just from personal experience .. I have done it

Dont get me wrong, it was fun at the time, but I no longer do it.

I never did a lot of it, but a friend of mine woke up in the morning smoking a bowl, and had 2-3 throughout the day. He is someone I no longer hang out with, but I know that he likely still does MJ...

here's how my life went...

I stopped doing it, saved money.. got a good job.. and am now a manager at a HUGE company. When I got hired, they did a drug test, and here is the interesting part. I found out from the doctor who took hair from my chest to test, that in GENERAL companies other than law enforcement agencies, will only go back 3 months on your history. That is approximately 1 inch of hair for the general population. I however have VERY slow growing hair (yes yes.. im going bald) and had about 2 weeks before this test shaved my head down to 1/4 inch or so... so they had to take the hair from my chest. They didnt yank it, they actually cut it.. and they cut from various portions of my chest/stomach. I tested clean as I hadnt done MJ in like 3 years before that.

My friend however, works remedial jobs at gas stations and other places. I am not saying working at a gas station is bad.. but come on guys.. pay scales...

he makes less than 25k a year..

I make over 50...

now these facts aside.. I believe that law enforcement agencies will check back 1 year for controlled substances. This usually involves a spinal tap which can be painful as HELL. The main reason that BOBS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY company wont do this, is because the cost involved. spinal tap 500+ dollars.. hair test... 150$. If you are going to find out that the person tested positive, how much do you really want to spend?

The other side of this, is that after you have tested once for BOBS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY company, they generally wont ever test again, unless they have reason to suspect anything.. this can involve continually showing up late, sloppy appearance .. etc.

so your best bet if you choose to do this kind of thing, and I am not advocating this.. is keep aware of your self appearance as well as your odor. I can still tell when someone had smoked MJ by the scent on their clothes, and I am a ciggie smoker!

Just my 2 cents worth on the subject.
