Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
So I have to pass a hair drug test to get an important internship. I used to be a heavy smoker of marijuana over this past summer, but I stopped at the beginning of August. I have smoked weed once or twice in the past three months total. Will I test positive for drugs on my hair test if I take it within the next few weeks?
Yes, there is a high probability that you will still test positive for marijuana in spite of smoking it only occasionally in the last three months. Marijuana is excreted for longer in people who have been heavy users and can often be detected for longer than three months on the hair test.
Best wishes.
