Urinalysis doesn't distinguish between habitual and a recent one-time use.
(Reference: see last week's New Yorker magazine's article on baseball.)
Furthermore, the urinalysis for marijuana use gives false positives if
melanin is present.

The wise will not confuse physical addictions such as caffeine, nicotine,
and methadone, with psychological addictions that some people may 
experience (for example: alcohol, pornography, usenet).
