I have a drug test this coming Friday at 3pm. My usage in the past 3 days has been: Saturday night, 3 hits, Sunday night, 2 hits, and tonight, 2 hits. Prior to that, I did not smoke for 8 days. Do you think I will pass? Also, I am very thin and work out every day. The test is for urine, and it needs to be below 50 for specific concentrations of THC.
