    Hair strand test! Help!
    Right. I'm having to be made to do a drugs and alcohol test that goes back 90 days ( 3 months ) but.. The last time I had a hit on a spliff. And was literally say 2 tokes? Cause id been drinking and my friend told me it was a ciggie. Hey all know full well I hate cannabis. It makes me major paranoid.. This was on November 14th and the last time I had a drink was 5 large vodka and cokes. Didn't get me drunk though. Just worrid. I'm a girl and my hair comes just to my shoulders. Its now February 11th and I've got my drugs test next week :'( so worried I can't fail this.

    "2 tokes", single use, will not show up in a hair test. (1) In order for THC/THCA to be incorporated into hair usually requires frequent use.(2)

    I am not clear about when you had the 5 drinks. Is the hair test for alcohol use also?

    1) Auwater (2010)
    2) DuPont (2008)

    Thing is; my brother regularly smokes it; and I may occaisionally breathe in the second hand smoke not purposely; but I don't always remember to hold my breath if I'm walking past him if you get what I'm mean? Xbut only outside cause we stand outside so I can have a ciggie; and he smokes what he wants; and the 5 drinks were at the end of november; please reply; thank you xxx

    Second hand and side-stream smoke can be a problem with hair testing (1). Particularly when you have prolonged or repeated exposure. So long as the test is properly performed you should be OK. The alcohol shouldn't pose a problem due to the small amount and length of time.

    What about if I had a doctors note explaining I've been exposed to second hand smoke. Because my brother smokes it for medical reasons; as he can't have THC prescibed. They know he smokes it? X
