What Is The Detection Time Of A Drug?

I took two puffs from a joint 5 days ago for the first time and took a drug test today. Will it show up positive on the test? I m active with sports and I go running often and my metabolism is pretty high. I just need to know it s really bothering me! Help

If you were not using marijuana for an extended period of time and then took 5 puffs of a joint, it should be out of your system within 3 days. So at 5 days you were probably safe.
If someone is a regular marijuana smoker, the THC may be detectable in urine for up to 3 weeks.
