Question 1

how long does thc weed stay in your hair if you've only smoked once or twice 22 yrs old 162 pounds male?

Accepted Answer

Longest window of de: Hair test offers the longest window of detection.That is 90 days in a standard test
test does not detect the amount but presence of thc.The testing method measures drug molecule embedded in the hair shaft and not hair follicle.

Question 2

my husband has not smoked pot in six months. will he be able to pass a hair follicle test for thc or must he wait longer?

Accepted Answer

It is anticipated: That there will no longer be a positive hair follicle test this far out.

Question 3

how long will thc stay in my hair if i smoked once in july on the 18th. it was my first time ever.

Accepted Answer

Curious question: Hair grows at a rate of about 1/2 inch a month, and thc that is deposited in the hair will stay in the zone that represents  use while it was forming. Remove the hair to below the that level and it would not be found on hair analysis. However, most do not assess hair to detect it, they use urine.This can clear in a week or so if use was minimal.

Question 4

can someon who did use weed thc test be positive by kissing someone who has smoked weed ? and can a hair drug thc test be positive when you didnt use weed ?

Accepted Answer

: If you do weed the test can be positive if you kiss another weed user or not, although a non-user would not test positive just from kissing a weed user. The hair test detects drug incorporated in the hair during its growth period as derived from the blood. It doesn't   get in hair that is properly washed by being around a weed smoker.

Question 5

how sensitive is a hair follice drug test? in terms of thc use, i'm around friends who smoke it, but don't smoke it myself. i'm worried i might fail.

Accepted Answer

Probably you're ok: The reports I've heard suggest that you will pass. There is a small worry that if you were in a very non-ventilated space w/ it for a long time - some may show, but read this: http://www.homehealthtesting.com/blog/2010/06/does-second-hand-marijuana-smoke-show-up-on-a-drug-test/
I think they will be reassuring to you.

Question 6

i'm not wondering how long thc stays in hair,,but i'm curious as why it stays in the hair follicle longer than blood or urine?

Accepted Answer

Cannabis.: Single use of marijuana should be out of your urine in 1 to 7 days. Regular use of marijuana – should be out of urine in 7 to 100 days. Single use marijuana can be detected 12 to 24 hours in blood. Regular use marijuana can be detected for 2 to 7 days in blood. Marijuana regular use detected in hair for months. Single use might not be picked up in hair.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

NO: You should be good to take your standard drug test.

If someone is looking at your armpit hair they are not looking for marijuana.

Entirely possible: That your hair test will be positive for pot.
