re: How precise are hair follicle tests?

Our fraternity got in trouble my freshman year of college and we all had to get hair tests done. I didnt smoke pot for 5 1/2 months and took all the preventative measures to pass but I still failed.

A quick google search says that a hair follicle can still detect THC after 90 days. Granted, I don’t know if that’s accurate or how consistent of a user you have to be for that to be true.

There's a way to avoid this that is 100% foolproof.

The people that are confused by a hair follicle drug test during pre-employment screening clearly have never had a job/career in any industry-related field (chemical plants, gas, oil, etc.). These are very common in any of these industries.
For a random drug test WHILE you are currently employed, however, is always a urine test.

It ain't hair follicle. It is a hair test. The follicle is below the skin. A positive result indicates significant exposure over and extended period of time. If what you are reporting is correct, and we're talking hair from the scalp, you're gonna pass. If the hair on your head is not 1.5 inches or longer, and they get body hair, the "window" of detection is far greater than 90 days. That could be a problem if you used a significant amount of illicit drugs 6 - 9 months ago.

I was offered a job on-site right after an interview. They asked me if I'd be ok with taking a drug test to help expediate the process and allow me to get in the office as soon as possible. I agreed to it, thinking it'd just be a urine analysis, but was told it'd be a follicle sample. Of course I complied because I really had no other option.
I did a few lines on New Years and took a single baby hit from a bowl a few weeks ago. Am I completely fricked here?
But if it’s legit, what kind of job and where, I may know a few qualified candidates, since there will clearly be an opening.

Your fine even if your use was double that over the same time frame here is why.
Hair follicle testing is looking for build up from habitual use.
Misconception on the street is they can go back only 90 days. Truth be told its about a year.
Misconception is that you can use washes and so forth to fool test. absolutely false.
a 3 day bender of coke and whores isn't going to show anything. But if you took a bump every two days for a month your screwed. same with most pills and THC

That's pretty much the answer right there. In this day and age, if you're doing any amount of coke, you're approaching loser status for sure.
I still know a few people that use coke and they're frickin' schmucks.

A 20 something year old guy partied on New Years. The most egregious display of incompetence in the history of time. The longer I dwell on this, the more certain I am that I should enter a rehab facility or perhaps face incarceration.

Well if he's applying for a job that centers around safety, it's not weird at all.

Or just move to the streets. Live in a cardboard box (if you don't think you'll trade it for drugs later).
