test clean

Dear Zac,
I generally avoid disseminating such information, as it is usually requested
so that people who are meant not to be using drugs (that's the whole point of
someone requiring tests) tend to ask for this kind of information so that they
can have it both ways. In the case of marijuana, my answer is usually one which
discourages drug use, so here goes. At least a month, often more. So don't take
the chance. If getting high is worth jeopardizing your job to you, you probably
are more hooked on the drug than you think you are. For more on marijuana, check

Good luck!
