Hair drug testing

[mimi26]

Hi everyone,

I am a new member. I have a hair drug test in about a week. I haven't smoked any marijuana in over 4 months. I looked through the discussion boards and I have only found a few threads of people actually answering back if they passed or not after taking the hair test. Before I completely quit 4 months ago, I was a relatively light smoker (maybe once or twice a month). I will be sure and let everyone know how my test turns out, to help others whose situation is similar to mine.

Im pretty sure you've got nothing to worry about dude, 4 months is a hell of a long time and 1-2 times a month is barely anything

Hair tests can tell from six months ago. Althoug if you were that light a smoker I dont know, good luck.

it actualy all depends on how long your hair is... if its only an 1/8th on an inch long, it has shit from how ever long its been since your last hair cut... but if your hair is a foot long, it can tell you shit all the way back from yoour last hair cut...

This has absolutely nothing to do with this but on the discovery channel I saw this show. Basically this lady had been poisioning her husband slowly for like a year and finally killed him, and the scientist could tell almost exactely when she started puttin shit in his tea and how much, it was wild, just from a strand of hair.

Hair tests can detect the presence of drugs throughout the length of the hair. However, it becomes inaccurate after about the first 1 and 1/2 inches of hair from the scalp. This is about 3 months of growth. Because of this, the normally accepted standard in the U.S. is to only use the first 1 and 1/2 inches of growth and thus the last 3 months of possible drug use.

I have read on several websites that marijuana is of all drugs the least sensitive in testing with hair testing, even though with urine testing it is quite detectable within the first month of usage. Did anyone know that?

I took a hair test earlier this year. I frequently used many different substances at the time. I bought some three part hair treatment from a head shop and it was able to wash everything out but coke, which is sopposed to be the hardest to get out. so you should be fine w/ the amount you used and the time since then. I too read hair tests are inaccurate for pot

The labs say that getting high 3 times over 90 days will cause a positive hair test result. You haven't smoked in 4 months and like I said they can only go back 3 months because it becomes inaccurate after 3 months because the chemicals in the hair begin to degrade. About the test being least sensitive for THC, I don't think that is right. This is from Quest and it is the levels they use for positive confirmation. If you notice, THC has the lowest threshold by far.

Anyways.. Hair tests can tell what you've hit from like, fuckin 6 months ago. If you'ew real worred, shave your head!
By federal guidelines, they can only go back 90 days for drug use because it becomes inaccurate. They are not testing her to see if she was poisoned. They could test the entire length of hair but the only results that are valid in drug testing is from the last 90 days. This is here in the U.S.A. I have heard that the length of time they can go back is different in some countries.

Shaving your head, bad advice. If you have no hair at all on your body, no test, automatic failure. Also they can use your nails.

Bad advice. If you have no hair on your body at all, no test, automatic failure. They can use hair from your chest, pubic, underarm too, maybe legs and arms I forgot. They will not use eyebrows because their growth is irregular so they would not no what 90 days would be. That is like going in for a urine test and not peeing for the 3 hours they give you. That too results in automatic failure. Also, they can take a sample from your nails if you have no hair.
