More details to this question:
I was in a friend's car. He was pulled over and I had 2 grams (a joint) on me. I was not taken to jail and I didn't receive a ticket, just a warrant weeks later. I have hired a lawyer and plead not guilty for my arraignment. I have a pretrial tomorrow and am wondering if I should expect a drug screening. It takes me a while to clean my system out so I fear I may not pass. Also, could something so insignificant (a joint) possibly get tossed by the judge? This happened in Michigan.

It is possible, but doubtful, you will be screened at the pre-trial. You should discuss this with the lawyer you have engaged as they are in the best position to know.

That is not insignificant. Testing can come at any time. Ask your lawyer who us certainly more familiar with your case.

You could. Particularly in Ottawa County. But it is unlikely at a pre-trail. Prosecuting Attorneys don't have time typically to coordinate screens.

The judge could order that as I have seen some do that. However, it is probably not very likely. Ask your lawyer what the likelihood of that is for that particular judge.
