Can Marijuana Be Detected In Hair Follicle Test?
Question: I smoked marijuana (2 puffs) 2x in one month. I took a hair follicle test yesterday and I am wondering if I will fail. The cut off is .1 Thank you
I have never used it before. So I am very worried. I am told not to freak out but since I am not a regular user of course I am freaking. I also was in close quarters with my ex who smokes a lot!!!

Brief Answer:
Not to worry

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Normally ones you smoke or use a substance, it is detectable for 3 months in a follicle test. But this applies for regular users. As you had used it only twice, and that too only two puffs, most likely it would not show up in the follicle test. Going by text still there is a rarest of rare chance that it nay show up.
But going by my experience, mostly it will not be a problem. You may relax.
But do drink of plenty of water.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.

Also, the last puff was taken about 7 days ago. Does that affect it? Thank you so much

Hello
As I said, follicle test detects 3 month history. Then it doesnt matter if it was 7 days back or further later. Though for a urine test this matters.
Best of luck.
