Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

Hair follicle tests for cannabis can detect the drug even if was taken 3 to 4 months ago. They are generally more sensitive than the urine drug screens and the sensitivity is much higher for consistent drug usage.

So, in your case sine you have smoked pot 35 days ago there is a good chance that the hair follicle test may turn out positive. The time taken for the lab to deliver the results is variable and it depends on the lab facility. It usually takes 3 to 4 days on an average.

Wish you all the best.
