I know very little about hair follicle testing or how long after you stop a substance that substance will still be produced in the hair but assuming it stops almost immediately, you're going to be borderline.

What is it 1/2" a month average for typical hair growth?

Shoulda buzzed your head lmao

Good luck Jimbo


Edit: I've heard it stays traceable in hair for 3 months so you might be just on the cusp of getting away with it

Well it's said to go back 3 months (90days) + depending on the length of the hair they cut.

Paper was published a while ago calling bullshit on hair based drug testing saying there were way too many false responses for it to be accurate

I wouldn't worry.

I knew a friend who passed one and he was a regular daily smoker who took a month off.
