A member asked:

I was a heavy daily cannabis smoker for 12 months, i'm also overweight. i have quit 70 days ago. will i test positive in a urine drug test in a week?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

it is possible: You can purchase your own urine drug test for cannabis for about $20 at any pharmacy and test yourself and see. The heavier the use, the longer people remain positive, and ditto for the heavier you are.
