Yes. Infrequent use of cannabis doesn't show up on hair testing.

Thanks for the faster answer. Instead of pulling hair from my head they took a sample from my legs. Do you think I'll still pass even though I'm a rare smoker? I just want to be sure cause I really want this job.

Thanks. They pulled from my legs instead of my head. You think I'm still good?

Makes no difference at that level of intake. THC/COOH metabolite they are looking for requires substantial build up in system before it will leech into hair.

Thanks man. I was so nervous. So when they pull hair are they looking for a pattern of drug usage?

What do you mean "pull"?

In general hair testing claims to be able to detect a pattern of use but that is only through segmental (sectioning) analysis and it cannot be done with body hair because of undocumented growth rate. Isn't very effective with head hair. So they are looking for drug only.

Well not pull they "shaved" the hair from my legs. And thanks I'll go with your advice of saying I'm good and I'll pass

Were you told why they chose to take hair from that location as opposed to scalp?

Hair on my head wasn't long enough. They needed a 1 inch to 1.5 inch. My scalp hair is only 3/4 long
