I was thinking of shaving my head, but would it make any sense to do it now? or does the drug in my system (last smoked about a month ago) still get produced into the hair when it grows? I didn't know if shaving it now would basically give me a clean slate as long as I don't endulge anymore, or if the drugs in my system would still show up when new hair is being produced...

Thanks!
THCA stops depositing into the hair 2-3 days after your last smoking session, so shaving it would give you a clean slate. However, most testers look for atleast 3/4 of an inch to test, so unless you have a month and a half to grow your hair back out, your screwed.

How long has it been since you last smoked?
