Wow, I was under the impression that drugs/meds could be detected in a hair test for as long as the hair that was present when the meds were taken remains on the head.

For example (& I'm throwing guesses out as to hair growth time, etc), I'm guessing my hair from scalp down is about 18 inches long (mid-back)...if my hair growth is 2 inches per month and I get 2 inches trimmed off every 3 months it would take me ALOT longer than 6 months to lose the hair that contains med residue within.

Does anyone know definitively if meds are only detectable for 6 months in hair? That would be great.

Bill917, you could always have your hair cut really short (almost military-style) - the little growth left should only be from the last couple of months, max. which should be easier for you to come up with a list of meds for...just a thought. I wish you the best of luck.
