Hi,

I am interning for a congressman in Washington D.C. this summer for a few months. I’m not a regular drug user, but last night I smoked weed with a couple of close friends. I am now concerned that I may be drug tested when I get to Washington in a couple of days. I realize my judgement here was very bad, but what is the likelihood that I will be tested? Can anyone here who has interned for a congressman/senator in the past give me some insight here? I think the chances that I will be tested are slim since I wasn’t given any pre-employment test, nor did the person who hired me mention anything about drug testing. Thank you for your time.
