Ok, what is outdated about the stickies at the top. The Niacin one is what every niacin argument is, the one about "The Truth about drug testing" was closed because it was written by a salesperson and not a lab tech (the author claimed to work for a drug testing company, in sales), the dilution and substitution stickies are right on, those methods haven't changed and there are no new countermeasures by the labs to defeat at the moment. I am planning on making a FAQ when I have enough time and don't have to keep deleting posts. I also need to make a sticky about hair testing and maybe even oral fluids testing.

Still, something is wrong here. Basically by federal rules they can only go back about 3 months. Did they mention anything about your hair can be in a resting state? Your hair might be 1 & 1/2 inches long but because it could be in a resting state and not growing, it could contain longer than 3 months of history. This is more common with body hair than head hair because head hair is usually growing and not in the resting state.

For the person who said they go back 4 years, I am with Geo on this one and calling bullshit. That would be 24 inches of hair and as time goes by, you will lose some of those metabolites.
