What Are The Side Effects Of Marijuana?

Hi

I'm a regular marijuana user, although I would not describe my use as "chronic", maybe a daily hit off a pipe when it's available. I have a pre-employment urinalysis today, and have not smoked in a little over a week. I also have a fairly high metabolism. Is it likely I will fail the test? Thanks.

Hi.

I had gone through your query.

Marijuana contains cannabis and it is psychoactive substance. It can cause physical and psychological ill health in long term use.

If you are not chronic users then it can be detected up to 1 week after total abstinence.

If you did not smoke since 1 week then it is less likely that test will come negative.

I hope i have answered your query.

Thank you.
