Does Drug Abuse Show On A Hair Follicle Test?

I took 2 hits off a joint 114 days ago. Stupid choice just stressed. Didnt smoke anything else till 14 days ago when I got stressed out again and hit a joint once. I have a hair follical test in the morning. Do I have a slight chance of passing. I also take hydrocodone but I have a script so I m not worry about that.

Hi,

I expect that are fair chances that you will pass the test. If your hair growth is slow, it is possible that the part of hair containing cannabis smoked two weeks ago has not yet grown enough to come out of the scalp. Similarly what you smoked 114 days back may also be missed if you had a hair cut recently and keep short hair.

Best wishes.
