I have a hair follicle test pre-employment for drugs. Am I screwed?

It covers a 90 day window and I was in a house where weed was smoked in, but not when I was there. I mean like the house smelled like it had been baked up plenty of times. There was no visible smoke, but I was wondering if I breathed in enough of something to cause me to fail the test. Its a great job opportunity where I will be making about 40k entry level. If you have any answers, I'd appreciate it. Thank you all and God bless.

If you're not meant to get the job, you're not meant to get the job. I wouldn't worry about it!

Sounds to me like you need to find a better place to hang out.

I've peed in a cup two days after smoking a joint and it came up clean. If something comes up, explain the situation. You've done nothing wrong, if they use that as an excuse then sue their asses to the moon.

You shouldn't BE in this house, it'll ruin a HUGE chance to be something great, don't blow it by staying in this house! What's the chance of you catching a break like this again?

Just explain to them that you haven't been smoking weed, but you've been around a lot of people who have. Update us with how that went for you.

trace amounts will be fine...but, sounds to me like you are finding an excuse to something you might have done a little of.

I think that there are a lot of variables involved. How long were you in the house? Did you feel a 'buzz?' How long ago was this?

oh yeah, like bill clinton...i didnt inhalebut seriously, if you didnt smoke, ur okthe hair folicles will reveal past intake for just about any type of drug, including marijuana

You will pass if you did not inhale. It is a follicle test which means it must be in your system so, if you did not smoke you are fine. Just being in contact with it will not raise your THC levels

You got nothing to worry about unless you smoked a blunt.

1. Find new friends, they will only bring you down!2. Say you were in an environment where is was obvious that there was MJ and possibly MJ smoke in the air and you haven't been there since.3. Find new friendsIf you smoked, then you screwed yourself!

I asked a doctor this question before and he told me as long as there is air flow you will be fine. If you were in a house you will be fine. The doc told me that I would have to sit in a car for 4 hours with constant smoking to even get a small trace. You will get the contact buzz though.

If you really are straight, and don't get high, then you're panicking for nothing. If you're this nervous now, then how jacked up are you going to be when you go for the test? The person who administers the test will certainly be able to notice if you are freaking out. You need to just calm down, take a few deep breaths, and let it go. Of course, you should probably say a few prayers anyway for insurance. God Bless You, too.
