Scared about Hair Test!

[Tai-pan]

Hi all... I feel I want to give you my back story because...well I want to make sure that you have all the details in case there may be something I need to do different. And because I want to just talk to someone and I have no one around here I trust.

I'm new to this site and actually a very new smoker (and only a smoker) of the green leaf. You may laugh but I live WAY up north near the Canadian Boarder, and never touched weed until literally my 30th birthday...in fact I have never been drunk or even smoked cigarettes. Yeah, laugh it up, growing up I was the straight laced kid you all probably made fun of, I laugh myself thinking back on it.

Anyway, a little over a year ago my girlfriend's brother moved into an apartment nearby and being close to his age and having similar interests, we got together and talked or played cards. He is a regular smoker and it was so different seeing how he acted compared to what I was always seeing on the movies, and he had so much information about the plant that I seriously looked at it with an open mind. I did my own research and about two months later on my 30th birthday, I took him up on the offer to smoke a joint. I didn't really know how to inhale so I was coughing up a storm (and again, people would laugh pretty hard...he certainly did) and I didn't get high (probably because I couldn't hold it in long enough) but I was determined to try again.

A week later, we smoked up via his water pipe and this was much easier on me.. I still coughed a little but not as bad. Now this time, I got very high...to the point I honestly (hand to GOD) was blacking out as in I couldn't remember what I did or said 3 seconds before hand and honestly was wondering how the hell I got from the spare bedroom to the living room watching TV.

From that point on I smoked once a week, on Friday afternoons after work and that was all. I bought my own double chambered water pipe (with ice chamber), and a whole galaxy of flavored papers, a couple grinders, a cigarette roller (yeah, I am terrible at rolling my own), a digital scale (per my friend's suggestion to make sure I can get the exact high I wanted), and finally a massive amount of junk food since...well I do get the munchies. I thought it was a lie but I do get pretty hungry after I start up.

I also got a couple of those 'hide-a-bank' things that were made out of those real frozen orange juice containers you find in the frozen foods section of the grocery store...just because I heard keeping your goods cold is better than in room temperatures, and since I did have people over some times, I didn't want them running across my stash if they were looking for ice-cubes.

Well, six months later I was smoking 2-3 times a week but mainly that being Friday, Saturday and Sunday up to noon....NEVER after. At this point life literally felt great. My job was great, my relationship with my gf was outstanding and I actually was getting out and doing things on the weekends (I liked to go for walks when I was buzzed...not seriously high...just feeling good. The bar was a unique experience while I was high as was going to the movies.)

In February that changed as I pulled back and only smoked once a week again, and never to the 'stoned' feeling. I felt I was using the weed to make any problems in my life go away - if only for a little while - and that was wrong. I decided wanted to be in control of this. I didn't want to become a heavy user and I needed to face my problems, so I pulled back on my usage.

In May, I lost my job because the company had to 'tighten it's belt' and half the IT staff was basically let go. Well at this point, I hadn't smoked in a week because my Girlfriend's brother was out of town for a few weeks and I was down to my last nug. I never smoke my last nug without having a replacement and I never buy from anyone but my GF's brother because he is the only one I trust.

I knew I was in the job market for IT so that meant I couldn't smoke. I wanted to pee clean. I am 180lbs and 5' 10" and average build and I do exercise for 30-45 minutes twice a week (pushups, situps and crunches) so I'm not seriously out of weight. I kept active and everything was going fine.

Anyway, 5-6 weeks ago after hearing a relative had cancer I blazed up a joint. Not to space but just to drift with the good feeling (though my concern for my relative pretty much killed it...I don't recommend getting high when you have a head full of worry and fear of losing someone).

So I have been clean since, and I was offered a job with twice the pay I had before in my old job...but that pends a hair follicle test... I don't know who else to speak with about this but I just feel I need to ask someone, somewhere because I am literally freaking out. My Girlfriend's brother was caught down in California on a misdemeanor (yeah..weed related) and I know no-one up here that I could speak with.

So, I checked the internet and decided perhaps the local 'head-shop' had something like a shampoo I saw online. All they had was this "Dr. Greens Wash Away Shampoo" in a small 1oz bottle. $20 was nothing so I bought it but...can I trust something that costs $20 to clean my hair out?

I'm going nuts because I don't really know what to do. The hair thread above was great but I don't have the multi-kit that was stated in that thread and the test is monday...today's friday at 2:30pm. I am almost in tears in frustration.

Someone...help..plea se!

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to the hair follicle tests except that they have a range of detection of about 90 days. Considering the hair treatment is all you'll have time for, I would go with that and hope for the best.

Some things you have going for you were that you were never a heavy smoker and your last smoke was just over a month ago. Those two factors could help.

Otherwise, best of luck! Let us know how it goes.



And welcome to YaHooka!
