What kind of drug test is used 4 a marijuana paraphernalia possession charge?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia

I have been charged with possession of marijuana paraphernalia. What kind of drug test will the court issue me (Saliva, Urine?)? If I haven't already quit, how long before the test should I quit so it will be clean?

What makes you think you will be tested?

You know THC can be detected in the user's system for a very long time - weeks

My lawyer said I would probably be tested. I just want to know the name of the test so i can do research on it and figure out if I can be arrested again if i test positive or whatever

Why don't you just stop doing drugs?

Why don't you not patronize me?

I'm just asking a simple question, if you don't know the answer, don't reply.

Still doesn't answer my question. I'm not going to pay someone to answer it if there's a possibility of them simply answering it on this forum. It was worth a try but not if all I get is "Stop doing drugs".

Why on earth would anyone of the VOLUNTEERS to this forum help you now? I asked a simple question and you responded like the brat (for you wirelessany1) you are. Go pay an attorney.

Whaaat the hell..?

I ask a simple question. Get a useless answer. Even if I stopped doing drugs after I got arrested, I still might not pass the drug test I'm probably going to get. You are clearly overreacting.

I figured someone who has been in my situation would reply with "they gave me a saliva test" or "they gave me a urine test" not "hey idiot why don't you stop smoking weed"

The drug tests they give prospective employees are apparently easier to pass than a federally mandated one. I just want some information on this because I've never been in this situation before. My lawyer didn't know the answer to this question. Unless you have a usable answer for my situation, please leave me alone.

Unless someone in this forum has gone before YOUR COURT in YOUR TOWN and has YOUR JUDGE no one is gonna be able to tell you what will be ordered. If your HFT/UT has RECENT drug usage indicators that will not go good for you...so the VERY BEST ADVICE is STOP DOING DRUGS!

If your smoke is so important that you just NEED to indulge to the VERY LAST MOMENT...That is some big monkey on your back.

Dude, these nice people here provided the same information a lawyer who you give money to will provide. GET OFF THE DRUGS!!! Yeah, if you go pay an attorney he'll tell you they can do any kind of drug test they want on you whenever they get around to it and you should stop right about yesterday.

The correct answer:

We have no idea. We don't have the order in front of us, we don't know the climate of your local jurisdiction. We don't know your history.

With that said follicle testing is a strong possibility. Good luck trying to pass that.

(and as an FYI, virtually every lab in the country is now able to test for additives and/or masking agents)


ETA: drat. I should've just said "Yup, what Blue said!"

Thank you, that is what I was looking for. Quitting an illegal yet otherwise harmless activity has been harder than I thought. If they are able to find traces of it before I was arrested, I'm screwed.
