Dean Said Something Very Interesting About Our Drug Tests

My friends parents are good friends with the dean of my school and they said he told them that you could smoke mary once a month and still pass. Which sounds odd to me coming from a dean but almost makes a little sense. Our hair tests are performed by Psychemedics and are random. It seems that if you smoked only once a month only a small amount of thc metabolites would be in your hair out of the 1/2 inches that comes out every month. I'm not sure how much it takes to set off the positive. Whereas a heavy user or someone who has smoked a couple times consecutively would have a lot of thc metabolites in the 1/2 inches of hair that grows out that month which would definately be a positive. Any thoughts on this? Could be credible or could just be the dean blowing steam our asses.

Yes he is mostly correct. I say it here all the time and it is posted on one of the hair testing company websites that if you get high 3 times in the last 90 days, then you can test positive. I have actually refined my answer over the last few months to these types of questions as I now say that if you have 90 days of growth or 1 and 1/2 inches of hair and you get high 3 times then you can test positive or are in danger of failing, instead of saying that if you get high 3 in the last 90 days then you can test positive. I say it like that now just in case someone smokes 3 times and only has 1/2 of hair. I don't know though if consecutive makes a difference. I would think that if anything 3 consecutive times would be an advantage over 3 spread out over the 90 days because of how half-life works.

So basically...If I waited to smoke out until the middle of october(last time I actually smoked to get high was august 6, although I took at hit the other night at a party)that I could smoke and if tested the following month not fail? Its just very interesting although seems risky on my part. I have fairly long hair just about halfway over my ears

Unbelievable that you get mandatory drug tests in school.....

Public or private?

Any way.....I'm not sure, sorry man.

its private and complete horseshit

I'd quit and go live in a cardboard box and get high every night.

I must make it a point to never go anywhere that tests hair.

I wasn't a pothead when I first went there, so didn't really care about it but now its a little too late I guess
