Have not smoked weed in the past 12 years,,, took 3 deep hits a couple of weeks ago,,,, My X and I just went back to court for a child support/ Custody hearing,,, of course the women always win.....

Had to sell my house,, The lady who bought it found some paraphenalia asoociated with smoking meth and or crack rock in the house,,,, The X was living there for the past 1 1/2 years,,, It is not mine pipe,,, I have not resided there for 18 months,,, she has...

My question is can I pass a hair test if i "challenge" her in court?,,, will 3 hits be enough to make THC show up in my hair sample? it was pretty potent smoke..

I cant afford to get an independent sample done,,,,If we both fail, I am sure that my kids would go to foster care,,, I gave up weed for them, My company random tests and I couldnt live with myself if i failed a test and lost my job, so 12 years clean and now 3 hits has me worried sick

Sorry if this has been posted in the forums somewhere,,, I am at a friends house, cant afford a pc presently due to the child support,,

Remember this would be a state administered test

Thx guys for any info and for listening to my quandry,,

I need to call my lawyer but am afraid,, will check back soon as I am able to get pc access again

Check out the FAQ Hair testing thread by positive4 at the top of the forum index for this section. In the first post is info about the threshold of how much has to be smoked to show up on a hair test.

Here are a couple of links.

Erowid Drug Testing Vaults : The Basics

SUBSTANCE
Cannabis (single use) BLOOD 2-3 days SALIVA 12-24 hrs SWEAT unknown URINE 2-3 days HAIR up to 90 days

Affordable hair drug testing starting at $65.00 for seven drugs, urine drug testing and saliva alcohol testing

For every half inch (.5 inch) sample of hair you would get a 30 day history of substance use. For instance we usually require a 1.5 inch sample be sent. This would give you a 90 day history of substance use. The sample is measured from the root end out to a length of 1.5 inch. If you needed a 6 month history of substance use you would need to submit a 3 inch sample

3. How fast does head hair grow? Studies indicate that hair collected at the crown of the head grows on the average approximately 1.3 cm (or 1/2 inch) per month. This growth rate varies among people (estimated at + .2 cm per month, consequently there is some (+ 1 week) time variation possible.

It seems to me if you suddenly got lice and wanted to make sure that you got rid of them. You could shave all your head and body hair off.

I can't say for sure this would work. From the information I found it looks like it would. Especially since you have smoked so little.

Does anyone have any stories of people shaving off their hair to foil the authorities?

So this link provided by tolerance states that THC can show uo in the blood for two weeks if you are a daily smoker, however the links in the stickies say 72 hours for daily (habitual smokers) can someone explain?? Is this merely the difference between being completely clean vs. clean enough to pass a test??

The difference is that this site knows it's shit.

The link you have takes you to Erowid and if you read closely, the information on detection times come from a drug testing website. Erowid does usually have some good basic info but they blew it in this case. That drug testing site has fudged the number slightly, probably to scare people into buying more of their product (although they could have increased THC to 60 days in chronic users but they didn't). I follow 3 days for blood, 4 days for saliva, possibly 60+ days for urine, ~90 days hair. This is what I go by and this is based on infor here, info on the net, first hand experience, experience of people close to me, experiences from posts on here. I think that is what 1toke's sig says.

Tolerance, you should know commercial links are not acceptable. As to shaving all your hair off, that is an automatic failure or will result in using nail clippings. Remember, the OP asked for sound advice not guesses.

3 hits won't make you fail a hair test.

Following one the links provided, typically which test do pre-employement companies use?
CUTOFF LEVEL COMPARISON BASIC HAIR TEST CONFIRMATION CUTOFF LEVELS.
Cocaine/Metabolite 500pg/mg
Marijuana Metabolite 1pg/mg
Amphetamines 500pg/mg
Methamphetamines 500pg/mg
Opiates (Cod, Mor, Her) 300pg/mg
Phencyclidine 300pg/mg
Ecstacy (MDMA) 500/mg

L.O.D. ( LIMITS OF DETECTION - LOWEST POSSIBILE CUTOFF LEVELS ).
Cocaine/Metabolite 100pg/mg
Marijuana Metabolite 0.10pg/mg
Amphetamines 100pg/mg
Methamphetamines (Meth) 100pg/mg
Opiates (Cod, Mor, Her) 100pg/mg
Phencyclidine 100pg/mg
Ecstacy (MDMA) 100pg/mg
That's a 10 fold difference

1tokeovertheline

The one that is used the most is Marijuana Metabolite 1pg/mg
