Will I pass a hair test?

Asked Jul 4, 2012, 07:51 AM — 6 Answers
I snorted a very small amount of meth a little over five weeks ago. Boy will I never do that again. Can I pass a hair test. I have never done meth prior to that situation. I have short hair and I am very active and drink lots of fluids daily. I was my hair everyday with normal shampoos.

It's in the follicle which shampoo doesn't touch (of course).

What kind of test is scheduled?

I'm really not sure. I am on probation and I am just worried they may give me one. I am not even sure they will.

Low level infrequent drug use is seldom detected in hair drug tests* (HDT), in addition "...methamphetamine detection is difficult due to low incorporation into the hair matrix...." (1)

The detection of any drug in hair is dose dependent*, that is to say the more you use the greater the likelihood that remnants will make it into your hair. This applies to meth and amphetamines in general. (2)

HDT is a valid method for detecting heavy and regular drug use but otherwise not highly effective. Notwithstanding the advertised claims of commercial testing industry.

It is very unlikely that your use will be detected for the simple reason that there is nothing there to detect.

*possible exception is cocaine

I could hug you for that! You've just made my day! I was being very stupid and gave into peer pressure. Boy will I never make that dumb mistake again! Thank you so much! Your web site has really helped.
