Court ordered drug testing problem.?
Question by Circle Jerk: Court ordered drug testing problem.?
I was very recently busted for possession and have court ordered drug testing, I’ve heard that it takes 40 days for marijuana to leave your system if you were a heavy smoker, which i was. The problem is I took a piss test today, and have to take another in 13 days to “determine if I have a problem with drug abuse.” I have stopped smoking entirely and don’t want to lose my chance at a diversion, what am I supposed to do?
