A member asked:

Have abstained from drugs 30+ days, have a hair follicle test, was a light but daily user of marijuana (1 gram per 6 days), what are my chances?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Hair grows at varying rates among different racial groups. The average is about a half inch per month. If your hair is more than a half inch long they will likely find traces of drug along the shaft if the test is specific enough.
