Just somewhat curious. I'm about to start in 3 weeks and there is no mention of a drug test? Does anyone know if MS drug tests at all?
I'm a little paranoid since my suitemate smokes a lot (seriously, like 10 hits a day) and I'm afraid of second-hand smoke making me fail the test...

There is zero way you'd fail for that tbh
Multiple test have shown that failing a test because someone else is smoking is nearly impossible. Unless you are just hanging out and hot-boxing a car with the guy, I wouldn't worry.
Yeah, you'll be ok.
The Journal of Analytical Toxicology did a study on this not too long ago.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4342697/
Basically, it says that for a urine test at a threshold of 50 ng/mL, you're fine.
"Immunoassays employing a cutoff concentration of 50 ng/mL, as recommended by the SAMHSA Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs produced negative test results (99.6% negative) with the single exception for one assay (EMIT II)"
Even for the people that tested positive at 20 ng/mL, they were in a sealed room with someone smoking for an hour. With proper ventilation, the number of positives drop to zero.
"No participants in Session 3 produced specimens >20 ng/mL of THCCOOH demonstrating the important effect that room air ventilation had upon lowering exposure and intake of THC by non-smokers."
If I have two weeks left till the start of my summer internship at Morgan Stanley, is it still likely that I will be drug tested (Originally Posted: 05/23/2018)
For context, I will be working in corporate finance, and have already completed my background check, as well as other hiring paperwork, however there was no mention of a drug test, and the start date is rapidly approaching.
