How Long Does The Effect Of Smoking Marijuana Remain In System?

I never smoke pot, but I was at a party Saturday and took 4 hits. I dranks lots of beer. Wednesday I was informed of a random urine test at a lab. I drank 2 monster drinks, a glass of cranberry juice and over 3 quarts of water an hour before taking the test, I went to the restroom 3 times before going to take the test, I took a home urine test right after leaving the lab that came back negitive, Is there a possibility that I passed the test. (keeping 50/ng in mind). That never happens and I am just kicking myself.

There's a strong possibility that you failed the test because the sample was too diluted.
Marijuana does NOT stay in the body for months after a small amount of use. It stays in for 3 to 5 days. It depends a lot on the sensitivity of the test and 50 is fairly sensitive. 4 hits is not a lot. 4 days is possible but certainly not guaranteed. It is hard to predict and it could easily go either way BUT the dilution of the urine is a dead giveaway of a guilty conscience.
