What Are The Side Effects Of Smoking Marijuana?

Hello. I had a medical Marijuana card and smoked daily for about a year. I have not smoked since January 20th. I have a drug test for a job I really need on Wednesday March 10th. One day shy of 50 days. I m going to take an at home test but I wanted to consult a professional. I also have a prescription for xanax, can this be held against me during a drug screening if I have the prescription?

the prescription of addictive medicines... I don't know.... I suspect they could be issues in employment, but varies tremendously in different places/jobs.
Marijuana with one use would clear in a week. With habitual use, it accumulates in fat and can test positive for months afterwards. cannot say in your particular case.
