Hair Follicle Drug Test Tomorrow...
A friend of mine ๐ฎ has to take a hair follicle drug test tomorrow for a new job. The test can detect what substances a person has used in the past 90 days. Well, about two months ago, this friend of mine took one hit, and I truly mean ONE hit of marijuana at a Cheech and Chong show he saw with some friends that were in town. Do you think my friend is screwed???
I read that one hit might not reach the level of toxicity they consider 'positive' for marijuana use. But still, my friend is freaking out about this. ๐

Won't work. No hair = No test. No test = No job. ๐ฌ

Nope. They body produces chemicals that show up in the test that are not produced by second hand smoke. These chemicals then affect the hair strand. That is the beauty of the hair test, the second hand smoke argument is of no use.

That's the irony of all this. The job pays way less than he makes right now, but he is moving to a different state, so he has to take this new job that pays shit.
Please you guys.... dudemon, at least I thought you would have something meaningful to share. Help my friend. Do you think one hit is going to matter????

Yeah, been there...when I was in SD I was making more money. But work drop and had to move back to LA for my original salary (I didn't want a pay cut) which is not bad...but still, extra cash and stuff is nice.
I don't see how he can escape the test. Hopefully he'll do fine and get the job...till he finds something better.
I wish him best of luck.

Hmm, depending on the amount of 2nd hand smoke, I'd imagine someone would test higher from extensive 2nd-hand smoke than from just one drag, no?

No. Second hand smoke would not produce the chemicals that affect the hair follicles. One would have to take a full on drag for the affect to occur. Whatever second hand smoke shows is not the same. It would be discredited, it would show up differently. The hair test doesn't actually detect THC, whereas the pee test does, I think.
