Hi XXXXX

The chances of the drug showing up on the test result are high. The drug could be easily detected up to 14 days in the hair roots after using the drug by any route.

I hope this eases your concern.

My best wishes to your husband's new job. All the best.

Let me know if you have more queries.

even though it was only a little bit one time? I was told hair tests XXXXXXX a hard time picking up small traces?

Hi,

.4 of a gram could be detected on the hair drug test.

Hair tests are better in picking up small traces since the drug stays there for longer.

Hope this clarifies.

there is no chance of passing?

Answered by Dr. Shanthi E (9 minutes later)

There are chances of passing.

Your husband must be lucky for it. Please ask him to consume plenty and plenty of water so that the drug is flushed away sooner than expected in his urine.

Also, it can clear out the drug from hair as well.

This is the only way he can get rid of the drug sooner.

Take care!
