Incoming Citi Analyst worried about drug test

I am scheduled to start pretty soon around a week and a half from now. Through my research I've seen that multiple sources note that Citi always has a pre-employment drug test. I also saw recent news articles that claim that Citi doesn't test for THC anymore. 

Edit: It is in an NYC office. 

Am I safe to light it up this weekend just once, or should I be smart and hold off? 

Thank you!

Test positive for weed? Fired.

Test positive for coke? Cultural fit. Welcome aboard!

Coke only lasts in your system for 3 days.

Are you in NYC? It's illegal for any firm to test for it these days.

Outside of NYC, your contract probably says you agree to a drug test so I'd abstain for whatever the withdrawal period is just to be safe.
