This last point was something that I still am not sure of and it was one of the focal points of my anger; he's definitely the stoner of our group so I'd expect him to know more than me, but I've always heard that its 25~40 days (probably 20ish for me cuz I'm exercising and burning a lot of fat atm but still...). So I'll have to look that up.
Some teenagers I know told me that most employers do a saliva swab, which only detects THC if it's been in the last 48 hours. However if they do a urine test, it will detect if from much longer (not sure but I think it was measured in weeks). Supposedly the saliva swab is more commonly used; evidently they are mainly trying to screen out chronic druggies rather than weekend recreationists.
So, chances are you'll be ok, though there's no guarantee which method that particular employer uses. Head shops have herbs to clean the system, but if you mention to them that you want it for a drug test, they can't sell it to you. So just say you want 'cleansing herbs' and don't mention why. (One of the teenagers works at a head shop and shared that bit of trivia with us.)
Good luck!
Regarding the anger and indignation you felt, I think they were warranted. Regardless of his reasons, he really had no right to deceive you and make the decision about whether to get high or not for you. So I wouldn't feel bad about having felt what you felt. Now that you have expressed your displeasure, you can move on to forgiveness. But I definitely think it was appropriate to let him know that what he did wasn't cool.
