4 months ago I took 2 hits and that was it, but I am worried if it is going to affect the job I have applied. I do not smoke, but it was this one stupid time and now I am afraid I ruined the chance to work at this company.
When taking a hair follicle drug test from doctors office will it detect a small amount from 4 months ago?
The presence of drugs in hair is based on a simple principle. Drugs which are ingested into the body circulate in a person's bloodstream which nourishes developing hair follicles. As a result, trace amounts of the target drug or drug metabolite are deposited in the hair follicle and become entrapped in the core of the hair shaft as it grows out from the hair follicle. Normal growth rates for human hair are approximately one-half inch per month. By testing for the presence of drugs at various levels in the hair shaft core on a given length of hair, a fairly accurate approximation can then be made as to how long a particular drug has been used historically. Since target drug or drug metabolite residues are chemically and structurally stable for a period of time, they cannot be easily washed, bleached or flushed out of the hair structure. Consequently there is little possibility of sample contamination or manipulation. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) forensic laboratory analysis of the hair shaft from an individual can achieve highly accurate drug test results and provide a historical use record. Generally it takes approximately 5 days for drugs to show up in a person's hair and will continue to be detectable in new hair growth for several months. A standard test provides up to a three month history of drug use. but can date back further.

Yes, probably so..
Hair tests will detect drugs back quite a ways...

No, it would be completely out of your system by now. It actually was completely out of your system months ago. There is no way the test will tell them what you did four months ago. Don't worry about it. Your hair follicles are not computer databases that keep track of everything you have ever done in your life. Just what you have done in the past couple of weeks!! You are 100% safe.

hair test can date back up tp 6 months.. emphasize on CAN

It can go back six months. At the same time, it probably depends on a few other things, as well. Such as, do you color your hair with hair dye? If it was only a puff or two, it's quite possible that it was such a small trace that it will not be detected. Good luck with job and stay away from pot.

One thing you should remember is that standardized drug tests require a certain level before they will call it a positive. Additionally, they usually only use the inch or slow closest to your scalp (the newest hair) and since hair grows on average about 1/2 per month, in 4 months the you would be an inch past that. I don't think 2 hits would affect your test, however (IMO) it WAS dumb especially if you knew you were looking for a job :)
Good luck.

Yup, most likely the test will pick it up.
Were the two hits worth possibly losing a job before you even got it?

Stick to alcohol abuse. Companies don't care if you drink.
