How Long Does Marijuana Remain In The System For A Drug Test?

I should include that the screening is a urinalysis. I would rather rescind my acceptance of the job than risk testing positive.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks very much for your question.
First, let me congratulate you on abstaining from marijuana. Despite its efficacy in some limited situations, overall it can have negative health consequences, and in the long run your new habits of healthy diet and exercise will serve you much better.
Marijuana is typically only detectable on urine drug screens up to 3 days after last use. It has been documented to show up in urine drug screens up to three months after last use in heavy regular smokers, but this typically only applies to people who smoke several joints a day for many weeks or months in a row. From your description, while I cannot guarantee anything, I think it would be highly unlikely for you to test positive. I would go forward with the job application and the urine drug screen.
