Drug Test

All, recently moved onto the background / pre-employment screening with a large MM in Chicago. I got told that I will need to complete a drug test - I will be testing in NYC. Will I get dinged for THC? Have been a month sober but dont think it has been long enough to pass.

There is a law against it in New York (have taken a pre-employment test where I would not have passed for THC and there was no issue), but I'm not sure how the firm being based in Chicago affects this

I think after a month you should likely be in the clear unless you were smoking all day every day before cutting it off, but worth checking with an at home test (think you can buy at drug stores like CVS / Walgreens)
