Brief Answer:
Drug screen should be clean by your due date

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question. Marijuana is usually clear for the bio of the month. if you deliver sometime between 38 and 40 weeks which would be full-term for you, your drug screen should be completely clear by that date. Good say to you. It is wonderful that you were able to stop using the marijuana at this time. Regards, Dr. Robinson

I have just read that it can take up to 3 months for a smokers system to be clean. Can urine teat not detect it for that long? Are you sure I will be clean?

Brief Answer:
You will probably be clear

Detailed Answer:
If you have a blood test for marijuana it would definitely be clear. Marijuana usually is cleared from the body and not detectable in blood tests in 2-4 weeks. With urine tests they may stay positive longer. It depends upon the amount of body fat that you have. THC the active ingredient in marijuana is stored in fat cells and if there is a lot of body fat it can take longer to clear the system.
I hope that you will be clear and again congratulate you on stopping.
