For Cannabis:
Minimum 6 months clean on record from the date of first contact
50 ng/ml cutoff threshold for primary detection during urine test
15 ng/ml cutoff threshold for those who fail primary detection
Depending on one's immune system and metabolism, a person (for most- moderate to heavy usage) can be clean in 30 to 50 days- although some can test positive even after 4/5 months (urine test).
The more one exercises - trains - runs etc, eats well, hydrates and stays off bad habits (excessive drinking, smoking, high cholesterol and "fatning"/greasy foods) the faster (thc-cooh) it leaves one's system. THC-COOH is a by product that is stored in an active user's fat cells.
CAF are strict on drug usage - WATCH OUT! :rage:

I told them I smoked marijuana and did magic mushrooms before I applied, the weed was just over the 6 month threshold, and the I hadn't done mushrooms since a year prior to applying. I also had to say I had 1,200 drinks underage prior to applying.... 
I was nervous as hell and thought I'd get declined right there. It wasn't a big deal, it came up I had to explain it but they weren't out to get me.
Just be honest and the truth will set you free.

Just be honest about your past drug use. When I wrote my aptitude test I was given a "Non-prescription drug form" to fill out. You really do not want to start out your career lying to them. Marijuana use is generally looked at as something a lot of kids try. As long as you are honest about it and there has been a significant amount of time since last use, you should be fine. Good luck.
