How Long Does Marijuana Remain In The Body?

default
Posted on Tue, 17 Mar 2015
Question: Curious. It has been 2 months since I have consumed pot. I have passed 6 at home drug tests for thc over the course of those two months. I have not consumed since. My question is, I may have to do a hair follicle test and wanted to know what my chances of passing a hair folice test is. I have had about 2 to 3 haircuts since I have stopped.

I was only ingesting minimal amounts of thc a few hits here and there prior to that. The tests I have passed were obviously urine tests (at home first checks).

Brief Answer:
Less likley you can pass the test at present

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

I can understand your concern. You have taken few hits of pot before 2 months. Hair follicle test can detect THC up to 90 days in general in this scenario.
Though you have hair cut 2-3 times it can not completely clear THC form hair follicles in 60 days.
Even hair can be taken from other parts of body also for testing.
Ambien will not interact with THC test.
You have passed the home urine tests until now.

Considering all these aspects chances are very less that you can pass hair follicle test currently. If you can wait for test 1 month more, you can pass the test for sure(after 90 days of your intake).

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
