    Hair Drug Test - Will I test positive or negative?
    I've been searching the internet for answers but I can barely find one that helps.

    I was a heavy pot smoker in the year 2011, but I stopped. Just completely stopped. Then I had pot brownies on October 23, 2013. Then never ever had it again.

    Then I recently smoked pot, and got caught (kind of). So, it was this month, on May 2nd, 2015 that I smoked some pot - I had like three puffs. Then again the next day, on May 3rd - started drinking at like 3 am in the morning, took one Adderall at like 5 am, then smoked like three puffs of marijuana at around 6 am.

    My college let me take a Psychemedics hair drug test on May 6 and the hair sample was taken at 9:40 am.

    The results are going to come out on Monday. Starting to get anxious.
    Is there a possibility of failing the test due to the recent use? Or can I sleep in peace and stop looking for new colleges (cause I could get expelled)?

    I am a female, 19 years, 118 lbs. Side note - I have styled, cut, colored, permed, bleached and dyed my hair many times after my pot brownies.

    So are you saying that you think the brownies, that you had almost 19 months ago, may show up on a test?

    You're wording and timeline is somewhat confusing but if I made sense of it, you will probably be ok...unless there is a little more to this.

    Things from 19 months ago, will not show up, (unless you typed the wrong date and it was this year)

    It sounds like you will pass. What you did to your hair has no effect on test.

    I'm worried about the recent ones - the ones I smoked on the 2nd and 3rd of this month. I had to take the test after 4 days of the first hit, so I am kind of worried about it showing up on the test cause Google searches and answers on the internet say that a drug can be detected after 3-7 days of taking the drug when it comes to hair tests.

    So, what about things from 3-4 days ago?

    Think about how long it takes the hair to grow out. Use from 3-4 days ago, your hair will not be above the scalp line and when I had a hair test, they snip it with a pair of scissors, so there was actually between 1/8" and 1/4" of hair at the scalp line that remained after they took a sample. If your hair grown at about 1/2" a month, I can't imagine 6 hits showing up from 3-4 days ago , but I am not a hair drug testing expert.

    I am glad you did and hoped you learned from riding this self imposed emotional rollercoaster of worry, and stress.
