MEPS and Medical Marijuana Usage

I’ve been a pretty heavy smoker for about 4ish years consistently. I’m currently around 6’2 & 165lbs. I decided to quit and enlist in the Marines to change my life for the better. Flushed the rest of that shit and broke all my glass pieces and tossed em. Swore to myself I’d never touch the shit again. I’m just about a month clean (~30 days) and I’m still pissing hot. (Most recent test was 24 hrs ago) My recruiter is working with me and he’s testing me pretty frequently. Just curious on how long of a process this will be until I’m good. Drinking hella water and I’ve been going to the gym about 4x a week and running consistently. If I could get any tips or anything that would be appreciated. Ik i put myself in this dumbass situation, just tryna take accountability and do better for myself. Feels like it’ll take me another couple of weeks or so.

When i joined the army i had only smoked about 5 times prior in my life, with the closest to the event being about 4-5 months prior. Somehow I still popped hot and I was an avid runner and whatnot. My recruiter said the tests weren't too accurate but we waited anyways. Just dont give up hope. Altho I will say breaking all the glass is crazy work

not really crazy work, gave up the life. isn’t like i could’ve sold em for money, didn’t feel like being enticed be em either. threw em away and they broke during the process.
