    Hello C:

    I do. They either have a more powerful test, or you didn't metabolize the THC fast enough, or you didn't eat the right foods, or several different factors...

    The bottom line is you guessed, and you guessed wrong.

    But, Dude. All they're going to do is make you stay on probation for a while longer.

    So you admit to violating your probation? What is it that you don't understand? You broke the law and got caught.

    Your answer is here:

    How long does Marijuana stay in your system?

    Detected in Urine after a month is possible.

    With a difficult to determine half life of 1-10 days your looking at least 50 days. Possibly even 2 months.

    Yeah honestly I'm not a bad kid.. I'm not used to being treated like a felon, it feels terrible. And probation only halters my plans of a good lifeee

It will happen so dont think it wont.

    You did break the law by violating your probation. Being around drugs (knowingly being in the presence of illegal activity) is a violation of your probation, regardless if you smoked or not.

    If you had not smoked it yourself, it would not be in your system at levels high enough to detect. Sorry man - play the innocent card with someone else. I was a drug tester in the US Army... and I've heard them all.

    As for my kids smoking, hopefully it will be legal then. This isn't about my moral bias to pot. It is about my belief that the law is the law even if you don't like it. I don't like the fact that I cannot go hit my neighbor with a bat when he rides in on his Harley at 4am, but it's the law and that's the way it goes.

    Ok - you know you didn't smoke. No one cares. You still came up hot. A court isn't going to believe you either. Doesn't matter what I think.

    Second, being around criminal activity (and that's what smoking pot it, I am afraid) IS a criminal activity. Doesn't matter one bit if it is your roommate, boyfriend or mother.

    If you are on conditional discharge (called probation in many areas) I am willing to bet that one of the conditions is not being involved in criminal activity. Who cares what you call it.

    Bottom line: you got busted for drugs and now you get to face the consequences. And it doesn't matter one bit what I think.

    In the end, you violated terms of your probation, there is no concern of why, just that it happened.
    If you want to follow probation you don't even get around drugs.

    But you don't fail drug tests unless you are using
