unlikely.
single uses of marijuana are detectable for only 5 to 7 days. WIth large amounts taken chronically, the tar in it accumulates in fat deposits and comes out sporadically for months. Moreso with loss of fat (in which the tars are stored). If NOT taking large amounts daily, this does NOT apply and the 5 to 7 day period is a better estimate. Over the counter tests are quite similar to the screens used and can validate these estimates.
