How Long Does Marijuana Stay In The System?

I never had smoked pot until about 30 days a go. Took two hits and am not even sure if I inhaled. I did not get High but I was drinking. I am going to work for a new company and will have to have a hair folical drug test in about 45 days or so. I weigh abot 260 and Take blood pressure medicine and Metfroman for type 2 diabetes, Do you think I will past test?

ooohhhhh......hair follicle test....
Really hard to say. With urine, the marijuana is out in 5 to 7 days. Shorter with less marijuana and even 5 days is probably an overly long estimate with under one marijuana cigarette use..more like 3.
WIth hair analysis it is entirely due to how long it takes for the hair to grow out. But I have no idea of the minimal amount needed to show up in hair. If that level shows up, they are going to have to screen a lot of people to find anyone negative (less use than 1 time in 30 days).
I find this answer helpful
