Most employers don't really care about what you did six months ago--they want to know if you're clean now. I've had employers who flat out told me I only had to pass the drug test once...after that I could do what I wanted on my own time provided it didn't interfere with my work or cause an accident (if it did I would face another drug test). Sometimes it's to prove to their insurance provider that everyone is clean and so if someone gets injured it's not drug-related. Therefore they really only care about the present.
I refuse to work for an employer that drug tests for no reason--I can fully understand if I'm working in an industrial environment where safety is a clear issue, but there are plenty of jobs out there where their knowledge of my habits is a clear invasion of privacy as whether or not I choose to smoke a bowl has nothing to do with my job performance.
So I'd say 1) either keep looking for another job without a piss test, or 2) drink lots of water, suck it up, and hope to God you pass.
