It is all connected. As tolerance increases, the dosage must be increased to reduce the pain, which causes further increase in tolerance. Increased tolerance to any drug is usually the first distinct symptom of addiction.

Do vicodin and marijuana have adverse effects?

If you are asking if taking them together is bad the answer is no, they work with completely different mechanisms and don't clash at all besides possibly making you really tired and drowsy and you shouldn't drive. If you are asking what the adverse affects of both of these drugs are: Vicoden: drowsiness, lowered breathing rate could lead to pulmonary arrest if overdosed, itching sensation, nausea and vomiting, physiological addiction. Marijuana: not many adverse affects, stimulates appetite so could lead to weight gain, can cause lack of motivation, altered state of mind could lead to injuries or bad decisions much like alcohol but to a lessens extent.

Of course we all know there are dangers to smoking (vaporizing) any drug; albeit : weed, tobacco, etc.. You get the idea.

How long does vicodin stay in hair if being tested for drugs?

I have no idea. Stop taking Vicodin, or if you've got a legitimate doctor's prescription it shouldn't be an issue. I have a friend who takes medication for ADD, but since it's prescribed by a doctor it does not pose a problem if he tests positive for amphetamines. If you're abusing Vicodin by using it without a valid prescription, you might consider addressing your addiction. Then drug tests become a non-issue.
