Can a hair drug test detect 1 time use?
If an individual is an infrequent or first-time drug user, a hair follicle test may not detect drug use a few days before the test because it takes time for hair to grow. Employers need to weigh that fact into their choice of a drug test method. This test could be a reprieve for a sporadic or one-time user, however.
