Nervous College Student

Hey everyone. So here's my situation. I was offered a great internship contingent on my successfully passing a hair test. I do not smoke at all. I'm concerned because on July 31, 2006, I inhaled from a blunt ONCE, and never since then, or before then. It wasn't enough to make me feel high.

Anyway, on October 31, 2006 I was hair tested. Before this, I had two haircuts. When I got to the test, the guy said my head hair was too short so he clipped my armpit hair. Anticipating this, I had trimmed my armpit hair the morning of.

The test is with Psychemedics. My question is this--was inhaling just ONCE, 3 months ago, enough to trigger a positive test result? I'm only concerned because before the test, I had never trimmed my armpit hair so I don't feel like it had been growing regularly.

I'm really nervous and could use any support/insight.

Thanks so much!

Well college boy, since you use fancy words like "contingent" I'll tell you. You are going to be ok. Mama wont let anybody hurt you. They can't just take your hair without paying for it first though. That's stealing, which makes them criminals. And if there's one thing history has taught us it's that criminals always get whats coming to them, except when they dont. Anyway, welcome to the board. Have fun and dont forget to tip your waitresses.
THE END

YOU ARE WRONG AND DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TAKING ABOUT? They don't have to pay for your hair because they don't have to give you the job if you don't follow their company policy.

Onetokeovertheline gave you a correct answer. If you only smoked 1 time in the last 90 days you will be fine. The threshold is 3 highs over 90 days can be detected. You will be fine. Don't listen to what anyone else here says because there are people like the one who answered you first that will tell you crazy things like it is illegal to take your hiar. Others will tell you to pass a urine test to drink bleach. Go back to where onetokeovertheline was for solid answers.

Thanks guys...I really appreciate the input...I'll let you know the results as soon as I hear back!

To follow up on the bad advice in your post, did you even read the OP post first. You say this:

That is wrong and maybe you should have read that they already took the OP's hair before you posted something so ridiculous.

If you think that they cannot take hair without paying for it and you go around telling people this, then Karma is gonna get you, not the companies.

you definately wont test back positive - you probably inhaled just as much as if you were at a party where other people are smoking and that will not be enough THC for them to detect.

You're fine.

"College boy;" Fikusroot, don't be a jerk because he has a good vocabulary.
