I’m having a pre-employment drug screen in a few hours. I’ve enjoyed a doobie from time to time in my life, but it’s been at least six months, if not longer.

Am I in the clear?

All reports I have read state that even a daily heavy pot smoker will have clean urine in 30 days, so I would think you’re in the clear.

Sure. But if they did ask you if you _ever_ smoked pot, you did reply truthfully, right?

And, you were smart enough to lay off the Poppy-seed bagels/buns, right?

I passed. Thank you.

And no, they didn’t ask if I had EVER smoked pot.

Thankfully. 😉
