Possibly not: Depending on how frequently you've been using, your urine drug screen may be positive for up to 100 days. That's longer than 8 weeks. The more worrisome thing is that you've been exposing your baby to thc and many other metabolites during your pregnancy to date. Please talk with your physician about this so that they can be aware and watchful for your baby's safety.

Be aware: Your best chance of staying off the radar of CFS is to stop and stay clean,forever.Any encounter with the law may place you on a watch list.In my state, the newborn removals are up. The doc, if suspicious tests both urine and the babies meconium for evidence of past use. The meconium starts forming after 12 wks and may retain evidence of exposure for several months.
