So I landed a really nice job with a really cool company and they plan on hiring me this March, but before they can do that I need to pass a drug test. My manager personally doesn't care whether or not I smoke weed but I live in a state where weed is illegal, and the company does care and would bar me from hiring if I were to fail a drug test.

I was stupid and smoked a fuck ton of weed last Sunday (before I knew that A; I need to take a drug test in the first place, and B; that weed can remain present in urine for up to (and possibly over) 30 days in frequent smokers (which I am)). This would originally have been fine if it weren't for the fact that after agreeing to the background check, I would be scheduled for a drug test by the 13th (within 4 days). So my original plan to just drink a shit ton of water to flush myself out within a month wouldn't work.

I also had a plan to sneak in a jar of my sober friend's pee but then I learned that you're actually required to pee in front of the observer so that plan wouldn't work either.

So basically I'm fucked and I don't know what to do :( My future pretty much depends on this job and I don't know what I would do if I were to fuck this opportunity up. What do I do?

Also, idk how relevant this is but I'm 5'9" (~175 cm), 160 lbs (~72.6 kg), AMAB, and very infrequently exercise. I also have POTS so I sweat frequently and have poor water retention.

      Employers like that don't give a fuck if you have a prescription. If they get a dime of federal funding for whatever reason then the companies are required by feds to "prove" they are in compliance with federal employment guidlines. Which also means biden-point No reefer.

      Until its schedule 3 they are not obligated to care about that. If they are involved with the Feds or under federal regulations even if they wanted to they may still have to test for it.

      For example I live in a legal weed state but because I work in the maritime industry(maybe bad opsec but whatever) and there are extremely strict rules that require random drug testing. There is even a law here that prohibits employers for testing for it but it doesn’t matter because the fed rules override it
