Will Urine And Hair Test Show Positive Inspite Of Smoking Marijuana?

default
Posted on Tue, 10 Jun 2014
Question: I've only smoked marijuana twice in the last 8 months and it was only two small hits of low grade stuff. I've been working out and changed my eating schedule to 5-6 small meals per day mostly vegetables and have been taking metabolism boosting supplements and working out for 7 weeks now. the last time I smoked was a little over a month ago, like I said only two hits of low quality weed. I have a 10 panel urine and 5 panel hair tomorrow, should I be worried? I'm 30 yrs old 195lbs.

Brief Answer:
Strictly speaking, Yes you need to be worried!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this marijuana you smoked and the upcoming urine and hair testing. for sure, the urine test would be negative but the hair test may not be. It Hair testing can reveal a history of marijuana intake up to 90days after last consumption in heavy and regular drug users. In your case, you seemed to have be a very minimal consumer but, the duration of 90days still has an eye on you. I am a bit skeptical that you would be able to come out clear of this but there are still some chances of being lucky about this.

In all, hair testing can show drug intake as far back as 90days. You fall in this window and we can only keep our fingers crossed hoping for the best possible outcome. With minimal consumption, we may be able to come out clean!

I hope this addresses your query fully. i wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
