So I just received an amazing job offer, howere I have to take a hair follicle test this Tuesday. Over the past 100 days I've only smoked 3 times.. The first time was June June 27th, then July 1st, and July 20.. Prior to the first time I was clean for about 5 weeks.. Currently I haven't smoked in 52 days.. Is there a chance for me to pass the panel 5 hair follicle test?

WHy not take a not so amazing job and just keep smoking?

Because if you take this one you are subject to future random drug tests... and heaven knows stoners won't give up their weed for anything.

It is most likely that you will pass a hair drug test (HDT). Infrequent cannabis smokers aren't detected with HDT as hair is a very poor medium for the metabolite THC-A. “In contrast to other illicit drugs, hair analysis lacks the sensitivity to act as a detector for cannabinoids” (Musshoff).
