How Sensitive Are Hair Tests?

SomewhatNervous · 02-04-2010, 09:56 AM

I have somewhat of a unique circumstance that I wanted to get some opinions on.

I've been clean for the past 9 months, but I got bored one night about 25 days ago and grabbed my bowl. I didn't have any fresh stuff, so I just scraped up a little resin and took two hits ... about enough for a half high.

Now it's possible that I might have to take a hair test in the next 2 - 4 weeks (pending a job offer). Is the amount that I smoked enough to even break the threshold of the positive/negative test result?

You should be fine.

Your use was within the 90 day window for head hair testing. Hair testing, however, is not as sensitive to THC use as urine testing. (Although I don’t really know exactly how much THC use will trigger a positive)

Be sure you have enough head hair for testing (1 ½ inches) as body hair can have a window of up to a year.

Thanks, Pig. That's kinda my plan. Leave exactly 1.5" on top and shave everything else down so they can't go for the pits or the chest or something.

Thanks, Mr. Cut & Paste.

The last line is inaccurate, so I'll just ignore that post.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I ordered a Psychemedics PDT-90 test to ease my mind, and the results came back negative.

There isn't enough information on the net for the the guy decides to take a couple hits and then gets a surprise hair test request within 90 days, so I hope this provides some relief for others.
