i just recently was giving a surprise hair test for a pre employment drug screen, because i had dilluted my urine sample. i'll just give you guys the whole run down.

i havn't smoked since the saturday before easter. was given a urine test on friday the 24 which came back dilluted. i didnt even drink much water before im a gym rat and am always well hydrated. i actually took a home test before i went for my urine sample and it came up negative, but the one line was very light, and it made me very nervous so i drink about 40 oz of water in a two hour time frame before my test, again this is not an absurd amount of water for me to be drinking in the first place so i thought i'd be fine.

obviously it came back dilluted. So, i get a call back from them today telling me i need to come in and talk to them about my drug test, im also supposed to have a physical there. i figure they are just going to tell me its dilluted and make me retake the sample, turns out they are sending me in for a hair test, i had no time to prepare for this so obviously im going to fail. my question is; how much info can they get from these tests? are they able to tell like down to the day when the last time is i smoked? are they able to tell whether or not i am a daily user?

i ask this because i had taken about 4-6 weeks off from smoking, ending on about the 28the of march. i then got my own bag and smoked casually with friends when it was available until about the 12th of april. What i was thinking is maybe i would call them and tell them i researched the hair test and have a feeling im going to fail, before they actually get the results, because i smoked a couple times in the month of march. and maybe tell them i really need the job and would have no problem taking random drug tests, for which i would pay for myself, if they hire me. thanks for any info, and sorry for rambling lol. ps, i was an everyday user before i took the 4-6 week break.
