My sons Hair Test THC 507ng/ml is this high?

[Worried Mom]

Hello, I completed a hair folicle drug test that refelcts over the last 90 days his THC level has been 507 ng/ml. I am assuming this is chronic as 50 ng/ml is positive, I am wondering how chronic and what type of detox he will suffer as he has used for 5 years. Very scared Mother!

Hi Worried Mom and welcome to the forum.

I have to admit I know nothing about what the ng/ml drug test results mean, so if anybody can help out with that please post. If he has been a heavy smoker for the past five years he may experience a fair withdrawal, but exactly how bad that will be is very hard to say, you only have to read the experiences here to find out just how different the experience can be.

Anyway I hope you will share your story with us, the families of people who use drugs are so often overlooked but it’s something that can affect everybody in that person’s life not just the person using, so I hope we can offer you some support.

Take care

It is high

I was tested in high school, and at the time I smoked every day. My test was slightly higher than your son's--which seems to say he must smoke fairly often. Although if his metabolism is a bit slow, that may account for a higher THC count and less frequent smoking.
