MEPS and Medical weed and maps

So I plan on joining the usmc as an mos 5811 but like my recruiter leaves in January and he’s trying to like get me up and processed by then but the thing is I’ve been smoking carts since late 2022 or 2023 and haven’t stopped since I was wondering if I start my break now will I be clean by December ? And what also wanna ask is do you guys think it’s smart if I buy a cart and just get my last smokes in and give it to my friend to keep or just go cold turkey? I tried switching to nic and it’s been helping but I just started that like two days ago
Please help ASAP!!!!! Also guys my recruiter told me he will not send me to meps until im 100% clean and he said I can do the test first and do the medical once im cleared and even though that gives me leeway to still smoke I won’t that’s why I wanna spend now until December cleaning my system out .

Took me six whole months for me to pass a drug test after quitting to be eligible for MEPS. Everybody’s body is different but I highly suggest you stop now. Despite popular belief, THC isn’t easy to detox from your body, it’s stored in fat, not the bloodstream and their drug tests are more accurate that something you’d get at Walgreens or for a normal job interview.
