Does anyone know what methods schools normally use for drug tests and when they typically do it? I've heard randomly before 1st year, before 3rd year etc...
why don't we just NOT do coke and then we won't have to worry about it
actually really the only drug that theyre scanning for on a drug test or "tox screen" is marijuana which stays in your system up to a month after using it. Coke and most other drugs of abuse are outta your system 2/3 days after you use them. So you can still do coke just don't smoke weed the month of your test.
It won't be a hair test those are too expensive to test a whole class. I knew that if someone asked this question he or she would get no useful answers, only smart ass judgmental posts.woh woh im just curious. if they do a hair test than it detects substances 3 months back.

Be sure to get all the hair on your body.....you don't want them going for your short and curlies.....There's a really simple solution if you're worried about a hair test. It's called a razor.

That time period is for blood tests, they can also do urine or hair (which detects substances from 90 days back)
I think the tests are to keep him from harming others rather than harming himself. I could care less if he wanted to hurt himself, that's his choice (unless he's suicidal). I care more about what he'll do to other people.I won't pass judgment on you. As long as you're not harming yourself, I don't see one lifestyle any more or less valid than another. Know that some Med Schools do check, though, and take a habit of reading their student handbooks if you can find them, or asking students anonymously, or heck, even calling having a friend call in and ask anonymously.

This is kinda like a fat person in a speedo. Just because they come in 5X doesn't mean they should.
Probably when you start seeing real patients and working in the hospital, you're going to need a drug test.
But why risk it? Avoid the risk and the added stress. Just get yourself some help and quit. You risk getting kicked out of school, having it on your record, and losing your financial aid.
Just shave your hair then. All of it....

Dear OP,
you're probably better off without it. although i know some people who smoke a lot and make straight a's...but those are a rare exception.
i think once you are in medical school, you'll be so busy and the people around you won't be doing it, so you'll probably just forget about it altogether. once you're on the hospital environment, i think it will provide a new "high" to replace your MJ craving.
I have actually been surprised by the amount of people doing this in my class, most of whom are fairly open about it.(I am pre-clinical & they don't test us until start of 3rd year.)
really? interesting... i just presume that medical school will be exciting and phenomenal (minus all the studying), that you will be too excited and into medicine to really crave or need
ummmm, I don't think smoking pot every once in a while will negatively affect your performance in medical school or as a doctor. Its not like anyone on here intends to be high when taking a test or seeing patients. In my opinion, alcohol has much more negative effects--you can overdose, its more addictive, causes violent behavior, more driving accidents. But people seem to think it is acceptable and marijuana is not purely because of its legality.
So don't be hatin' on the weed!!
And I haven't heard of any med schools drug testing students....I certainly hope not
