Hi guys

I am asking this question because i really need your help. Does anyone know the drug testing procedure/method they use (urine, blood, hair) to for cannibinoid testing? I recently quit smoking at the beginning of this new year. I do not intend on smoking or using drugs again.

I was recently offered a position to teach in korea, and they want me to come as early as february 20th. If they test for urine or blood, I should be clean by then, and life is good. However, if I go, and they test for hair, I'm certain that they will find some traces of cannabis, and I will likely be deported. I want to save the embarrasment, and costly trip if that is the case.

I really appreciate your guys helping me.

BTW how do you guys like it in korea?

While I believe Korea shouldn't be testing teachers for using drugs in another country, the test is a piss test. Possibly a blood test, but unlikely.

Eslisez,

I'm in a similar position. Can you post here with an update if you go and get the test done? I'd assume it would be urine as it's the most cost-effective, but you never know.

Thanks!

I doubt they'd use the hair test because it costs more.

Or, get a jar of someone else's pi$$...I was just handed a tube thing and told to fill it up...I walked into the toilet alone, which was empty and went into the cubicle to fill it up. If I had wanted to it would've been easy to fiddle the test...
