When to chill on the kush

I'm going to be a SA this summer at a NYC-based investment bank. I will be in the nyc office. Offer letter says there will be a drug test. When should I drop the weed in order to pass? I was thinking April 1 stop so I could pass a May 1st drug test. Is it standard to do drug test before May 1 (more than a month before we start)

What about if you go to school outside of NY. I am likely not going to get my test in NY as I won't be there till right before my internship starts. Will the NY law still apply in this case?

 

Depends how much you've been toking recently. More toking = longer time until you piss clean.

 

^^^^ I want everyone to read this comment. I haven’t used it personally (I quit smoking like a good boy to prep for my test), but i’ve had many friends use this and been successful. It is a LIFESAVER

 

not to hijack the thread but how long should i lay off the blow pre test?
