Short of cutting your hair off no. When smoking weed the thc is metabolize and broken down and into your blood stream and fat cells. Well hair is made up of old blood cells and the metabolized chemicals are in the makeup of the hair. Nothing will wash it out. It's basically the DNA of your hair so to speak. This includes all body hair.

Now depending on how bad you want to start driving the fastest way since you have been clean for 2 months is to get rid of all your hair and let new fresh clean hair grow. That's the fastest way or you could just wait a few more months then get a could of inches trimmed off your head and you might be OK.

Or the easiest route throw the med weed card away so your not tempted to use it again and go through a company that only does urine test.

No matter what though you have the issue of chronic pain to deal with and since you received the med card from a doctor you are considered under a doctor's care until you have letter from that doctor releasing you from his care. Dot physical doctors will want to see that release letter. And then again you still have to deal with the pain your having and whatever the underlying cause it maybe an issue that disqualifies you from a cdl.

So many unknowns and just trying to cover all the bases.

Guyjax is right....you'd have to cut your hair. They'll need at least 1 1/2 inches for the test so you'd have to stop smoking, cut your hair, and make sure you have at least 1 1/2 inches of hair after it grows back. In fact, you might have to wait 30 days to make sure it's all out of your system before cutting your hair and letting it grow back.

For your pain, try finding a very experienced acupuncturist. Sometimes they can do amazing work and bring you to a pain- and medication- free life, or darned close to it. If you live in Colorado, private message me and I have the name of one very good acupuncturist who is also a chiropractor. I also know of medical doctors who have turned to acupuncturists themselves and found excellent results.

Good luck.
