I have smoked marijuana one time in the last 3 years. The last time I did it was about 9-10 months ago and that was half a joint, maybe four hits. I have a hair test for my dream job and I'm concerned they are going to take body hair as my head hair is relatively short. What are my chances of passing?

Body hair gets replaced about every year. The vast majority of it is already gone. They might detect it if it were from a chronic smoker but I doubt you would be positive. You are much better giving head hair if possible. There isn't much chance of them detecting that small of usage with hair tests. There will probably be some there but it should be way below any rational detection limit. You would be essentially giving a one year test rather than the normal 3 month from head hair. You could try to cut off the tips of all your body hair. That is where the only THC from 9 months ago would be. They want about 1.5 inches of hair from your head and need about a hundred strands. Get a ruler before you consider trimming your body hair. I doubt there is one chance in a hundred of you failing but you never know with imprecise tests like these.
