Do they test for marijuana anymore? (CA)

To my understanding NY banks no longer drug test for marijuana (what do they test for then if at all?). Does this standard also apply in California? Particularly for FT starting next summer. If not, when can I expect the testing process to begin?

Also if it’s different bank by bank, I’m particularly interested in the BB’s new drug testing policies.

SB for the most comprehensive (ease my Mary Jane loving mind) response.

Got drug tested a month or two before internship start date. Dicks only gave us 72 hours to get it done during a pandemic...
