What Are The Ill Effects Of Smoking Marijuana?

I was smoking medical marijuana during the day , maybe a half of a joint a day but not every day, only when the pain I felt needed relief and I haven t smoked since the 8th of August. I applied for a job and found out it s federal. They don t recognize it as legal so require a drug test.I have one tomorrow. What are my chances of passing it?

I understand your concern.

Smoking marijuana has been proven to be dangerous for health. Cannabis present in marijuana is the main cause of such effects.

Concentration of cannabis in body depends on the amount used per day and route by which it was administered and the last day of use.

Smoking Cannabis causes abrupt rise in blood level which gradually reduces over month.Cannabis can be detected in urine or blood up to one month of last use in case of regular use.

By your description it looks like you have smoked it, less frequently and last use is on 8th Aug.If your use has been irregular and less frequent, chances of it being detected is very low, how ever it depends on the amount and concentration you have used.

hope the answer has helped you.
