Will Drug Test Show Positive 7 Days After Smoking Marijuana?

I smoked 3 hits of weed and now i have a drug test in 7 days. The last time smoked was 2-3 months ago. I only drink water, nothing else, and my lifestyle is moderate i would say. Ive done some intense working out twice since I smoked. I took an initial drug test but the results came back negative-dilute (i drank a ton of water) and now the company that wants to hire me wants a retest. Ive done the research. I know thc is stored in fat cells and it ranges but based on my info i just want to know what my chances of passing are. Thanks! Update: Also im 5 feet about 180 lbs. like i said my lifestyle is pretty moderate with some intense sessions 1-2 times a week.

Hi,

Based on the information you've provided, it is likely that the THC from the three hits of weed you smoked will be detectable in your system for up to 7 days, potentially longer, depending on your body fat percentage, overall health, and other factors.

Drinking water and exercising can help to flush out some of the THC, but it may not be enough to eliminate it from your system in time for the drug test. It's also worth noting that the initial negative-dilute result may have been because you drank a lot of water before the test, which can dilute your urine and make it more difficult to detect drugs.

It's impossible to predict your chances of passing the drug test with certainty. However, based on your information, likely, the THC will still be detectable in your system, and you may test positive for the drug test.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
