Employment to Large Companies…drug Tests?

Question by puffer fish: Employment to large companies…drug tests?
I recently tried to apply to a large company to be an accountant, and they asked if I would be willing to do a hair folical test. I said yes, but never returned their phone call because I knew I would fail…I used cocaine and marijuana several months ago, and although it would be long gone in my urine or blood, I heard it stays in your hair folical for years…are most companies doing hair folical tests now?
