A member asked:
I haven't smoked weed in 5 weeks. prior to giving it up, i smoked weed every day for years. will it still show up in my hair follicle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair test: it depends on how long your hair is the average is 1/4 inch per month. so after 5 weeks the part of the follicle containing cannabis would barely be off the skin even a urine test may show for up to 6 weeks

How far does the testing for a hair follicle and nail drug test go back? I am getting conflicting answers on both tests. I have been told 90-120 days or longer for hair follicle depending on length of hair and up to 1 1/2-2 1/2 years for nail testing.
