Pre-Job hair test Questions w/ Results to come

[usedtosmoke]

Any help would be much appreciated so here's the situation:

I am 25, 5'8 145. I played college football and at my peek I weighed 185 5% body fat until i was injured. Over the last 4 years I haven't been as active and although i don't weigh that much I am not in as good of shape but I am fairly active and still have a good metabolism.

I smoked pretty regularly( once a day or so) from 8th grade until my junior year of high school. I smoked maybe 3 times while in college. In the last 3-4 years Ive smoked maybe 10 times, a few hits of a joint. In the last year Ive smoked 2 times, with the most recent being July 20th or about 2 1/2 months ago a couple hits of shitty weed.

About a month ago I got a job offer that required a hair drug test but I ignored it because I figured I would fail, but they called again and are sending me another info kit containing info and hair collection kit.

The company I have to get it done with is Emergency Medical Center in MI who is subcontracted by Psychmedics Corp, who will send it to Verifications Inc and Dr. James Ferguson in North Dakota. It says on the form to test for: Cocaine, Opiates, PCP, Amphetamines, and Marijuana.

I have pretty thin brown hair, which i keep pretty short, its about 1.5-2 inches on top, I got it cut about 3 weeks ago. Then, it was probably down to 1.5in on top, .5in around the sides and back. A month ago i shaved my armpits and trimmed my arm and chest hair, just in case but haven't done anything with my leg hair, it's pretty long and thick.

With only smoking once in the last 6-9 months and I'm pretty sure it was sub par weed, definitely not chronic, How do you think I will fair if I have to get a hair sample taken in the next week? Should I get another haircut/trim and chance them taking it from my eyebrows/legs which is basically the only other hair on my body right now long enough for a sample.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, I'll keep everyone updated on what transpires.

P.S. I am currently taking Codeine cough syrup for a cough ive had for 2 weeks, but i have a prescription.

Leave your hair just like it is and you'll pass no problem. The cutoff threshold for THCA in the hair is 3 small smoking sessions in a 90 day period if the hair is atleast 1 1\2 inches in length. You are well below this and have nothing to worry about if the information you gave me is correct.

If your still not satisfied then Google hair testing kits. You can buy one and have it sent to a lab for a fee and they will have your results in 2 days.

I agree, you will pass right now...

thanks a lot for the info guys, that's comforting to know I'll be able to work, I really need a job. Ill post back when I take the test and get the results, probably next week.

Just out of curiosity, what are the odds they take hair from somewhere else and will I still be in the clear if they do?

Most testers look for atleast 3/4 of an inch to take from the head, so if you have more than that you'll be fine.

I took a hair test about a month go for probation and my PO called yesterday to let me know I passed. All I did was put a relaxer/perm on my head the day of the test...nothing more. I didnt add any other shampoos or chemicals. I just followed the steps and I passed.
