Yes, marijuana will show up on a drug test. However, it would depend when you last smoked cannabis to be able to tell if you will test positive on a standard screening.
Usually, employers only take urine samples - which will only detect recent drug use - but probation officers and the armed forces recruitment tests will take hair follicle or swab tests.
These tests can detect drug use for up to six months after you last smoked pot.
