Addiction Medicine Specialist Dr. Dr. Matt Wachsman's  Response
The marijuana effect is gone by 24 hrs. Sooner actually. And it is common to have reactions to unexpected drugging for days afterwards as a psychological effect. Reassurance would be the first thing (long term effects from the drug don't happen). And cognitive behavioral therapy for a very short time would also be helpful.
