Does anyone know how long cocaine will last in the body?
Does anyone know how long cocaine will last in the body?
I believe anywhere from 3 to 7 days depending on how much intake and the testing method involved. Not that I do that stuff, I only like the smell of it!!!





never heard of someone putting it that way!Originally Posted by DJ Maimed

Do you mean, as far as it showing up on a drug-test?
Because from my understanding, when I was in the Air Force, they can still see that shit over a month later. Especially if they do a hair strand test(which may be expensive), on someone who doesn't use relaxers/perms etc.
I do realize they coulda told us that to scare us, but it didn't apply to me, so I dunno 4 sure. lol![]()



According to lots of info on the internet, most drugs only stay in your system for a couple days (2-4). A hair test is a different matter, but I think they're very expensive and rarely done.
Well, for almost all corporate jobs...hair tests are the standard...some places wont even hire people if they cant do a hair etst (for instance, if someone is bald and waxes body hair)
That said, a hair test can show drug use up to 6 months-a year after.





Hair tests are not expensive and are commonly done. It's the method most used nowadays for pre-employment drug testing because of accuracy.

72 hours if tested by blood or urine. Hair tests...drugs you did 4 years ago will show up...
I heard somewhere, though I just looked for it again on the net and cant find it now, that a hair strand test can show drugs you did as much as 10 years ago. Dont know how accurate that is, and as I said, I cant find the site I read that from now that I'm looking for it...
I found this on wikipedia.org.
"Cocaine metabolites are detectable in urine for up to four days after cocaine is used. Benzoylecgonine can be detected in urine within four hours after cocaine inhalation and remains detectable in concentrations greater than 1000 ng/ml for as long as 48 hours. Detection in hair is possible in regular users until the sections of hair grown during use are cut or fall out."
The half-life is 72 hours.
Sooooo in order to graduate high school I was made to write a 14 page, single spaced paper on drugs. It was a research style paper and I had to have at least 10 quoted and documented sources... I also had to do 6 interviews... My teachers knew what they were doing.
Cocaine lasts anywhere from 1-5 days for normal testing, but with the hair test its there until your hair is cut off. Its sad but true.
Any drug questions feel free to come to me... I know way more than I'd like to lol
And how much do you have to do in order for it to show up? Also does this apply to X? I have indulged in the past on occasion, but I'm not what you'd call a habitual user and after last year, I think I'm pretty well done with recreational drug use.
I already had to drink two gallons of goldenseal tea once and that was torture but what to do about a hair test? Oh boy, Walmart hair pills, here I come.





Doesn't hair grow an average of an inch a month? So that blow you did 6 years ago would theoretically show up if you have hair down to your ankles?
Growth does slow after it gets longer, I think, but still--I doubt a little snort a few years back is going to be a problem. However, that's easy for me to say, since I won't work for the kind of places that make you go through this insulting, ridiculous procedure.
They need to test for alcohol, since it does many times the damage that other drugs do.

I think the reason Wall Street still relies on the old-fashioned piss test is that they know they would lose a considerable amount of high level people if they were to use more accurate test methods.





Yeah^^^, no shit ! I was thinking, along the same lines, how come ALL coffee isn't automatically checking for pot/drugs in airport luggage? The powers that be don't wanna know, they just want you to think they do, so you don't get cocky/stupid!
Unlike THC (marijuana) that can stay in your system for up to 30 days, as it is stored in your fat cells.. cocaine is a 3- 7 day process and in the hair up to 4 years.
I used to work for Smith Kline Laboratories, and tested urine specimens for drugs... I had a DIRTY job!

72 hours with lots of water intake. more if you have a cronic problem. up to 7 days



Cocaine itself does not last long at all, but the substances it leaves in your body that the drug test tests for will last about five days. I have passed a drug test a week later, but I was very frightened. Luckily now I am on the clean and narrow path.




According to this site (and I generally trust their research --http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/testing/testing_info1.shtml ) hair tests detect 90 days back. (When I did a google search, the companies I found advertising hair tests also said ninety days.) I don't know whether that means stuff is GONE after ninety days, or whether it's just not guaranteed they'll find it.
Ah. OK, got a good answer from the Wikipedia article. The reliable testing labs only use hair 3-5 cm from the scalp, so that's ninety days. They could theoretically get a longer history with a longer sample, but presumably the results aren't clear out past that point.
Here's the Wikipedia article for more detailed info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_test
Interestingly, I found out something I didn't know -- LSD and 'shrooms are rarely tested for. (I knew they were very unlikely to show up, simply because they are occasional drugs, not habitual, and all traces are gone in a day or three from the time of use.)
Nooo, I'm not a hippie . . .
Peace, out.




Oh, and Djoser and Irelynx, I've heard hair growth is more like half an inch average a month (at least this is what the woman who does my hair says.)
Howstuffworks.com backs it up:

Depends on how long and how much u do. It is also stored in fatty tissue as with opioids and thc. Info at narconon.
