    Not unless the rooms really filled with smoke, you need a good amount taken into the lungs to acquire enough to fail most drug tests.

    If you have only used 1 to 3 times in a month, then for 10 to 30 days you most likely will test positive, if you are a heavy user (3 times a week) then up to 60 days:

    There is nothing that you can take that will speed up the bodies removal of THC, how long it takes for you to become clean depends on how much you have used and the potency and on the way your body stores excess THC. The type and sensitivity of the test will also determine if you test clean or not. Drinking a lot of water or other fluids does not remove THC from your body, but may dilute its concentration in urine.

Just being a marijuana smoker seemed to carry a 70% extra risk, while those who smoked it regularly, or had smoked from an early age, had twice the risk compared to those who had never smoked it. – http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7869709.stm

    “”I have seen many cases of exacerbations of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder brought on by marijuana use,” said psychiatrist Kenneth Certa, M.D., a member of the Section Council on Psychiatry. “Another problem I can see is that the marijuana in the community is often not very pure and is frequently adulterated with PCP [phencyclidine, an hallucinogen], which can also cause problems with psychosis.” – http://psychnews.psychiatryonline.org/newsarticle.aspx?articleid=112336

    Our results provide support that cannabis use plays an important role in the development of psychosis in vulnerable individuals. Cannabis use in early adolescence should be discouraged. – http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21883099
    The risk to develop psychotic symptoms and also schizophrenic psychoses is thus explicitly elevated for young people who use cannabis. – http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19080993

    “Chronic marijuana use has multiple adverse effects on the endocrine and reproductive systems. For example, chronic marijuana use is associated with reduced hypothalamic release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, decreased plasma levels of gonadotropins (follicle-stimulating hormone, lutenizing hormone, and prolactin) and testosterone, reduced spermatogenesis, and impotency in men.” – http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cncr.24159/full
