No. Blood tests will only show what is in your system now. Thats how they detect pretgnancy and etc.
A drug test can either be by urine test (which will only show what is in your system now also) or by a hair sample. They test the root of your hair... The root of your hair will show everything you have ever done whether its crack, cocaine, pot, meth, ice.. etc.. even if it was years and years ago.

You may as well get over being scared of needles. If you become a police officer, there are far more things you will have to face. There are many types of drug tests. Most utilize urine, blood, or both. If you're highly suspected of being a drug addict, hair samples can be taken, which will show evidence of drug use from several years ago. All tests are very accurate.
Don't be afraid. When you get blood drawn, tell the technician that you're anxious and they will likely use a butterfly needle (the smallest one) and they will also be extra careful with you. Good luck. Someone once said "The saddest words of tongue and pen are the words...it might have been." Don't let your fear of needles keep you from going after what you want in life. You only get one life. Use it so that when you're old, you don't look back and wondered what might have been if you had only done this or that differently.

Drug tests can be performed in a variety of ways, with varying levels of cost to them and varying levels of accuracy. A urine test is the most commonly used as it is fairly cheap, but it is not the most accurate test ever as many drugs stop appearing in the urine after as few as 2 days (heroin as an example). Then they can use a blood test which is much more expensive (and they probably won't be able to afford) but can detect chemicals for longer. Then there is a hair test which is extortionate and would probably never be used unless you were in MI5 and were very important. This can tell your drug use over the entire length of time your hair grew, and when.
Generally they just do a urine test though.

solid question. I used to appreciate a woman that became prescribed methadone for soreness. The health facility/docs workplace had her sign a settlement as a circumstance of her being prescribed a controlled that allowed them to compel her to offer blood for drug checking out to be sure that there became no drug abuse or diversion occurring. at last they did try her blood, stumbled on THC, and decrease off her prescription. What an ignorant international we live in. So the respond is for specific, yet i think on condition that they compelled you to sign some thing asserting they might do such.

My last drug test was a hair sample. They cut a chunk out of the middle of my head.

Scared of "niles"? What the hell is that, moron. Forget about being a cop if you can't even spell simple words. We don't want you.
