Pre-employment drug screen?

I'm scared - I am a medical cannabis qualifying patient that was just offered her dream job pending criminal and drug screen. My criminal record is blank, I have none. But, I do use my cannabis at bedtime nearly every day to ease pain so that I can get a good night's sleep. The past week I had a bad cold and didn't use so when I went for the drug screen I was one week "clean". But, I took my card with me and showed it to the gal doing my test and she said she didn't need it, but that someone would call me if I had a failed test. That was last Tuesday, I haven't heard a thing! I did email the HR person and asked if all was well on Thursday and got NO REPLY :(

I haven't given notice to my current employer because I have no idea what this new company is going to do or if I passed/failed and I'm scared to ask them. Last thing I want to do is throw myself under the bus for asking a question when I could very well have passed the drug screen.

The company I've been offered a job with is Scotts Miracle Gro. Should I be terrified or relax? They gave me a start date of 5/06/19, so in order for me to give a minimum 2 weeks notice I will have to give it Monday, and I'm off on Monday, so Tuesday will be less than 2 weeks notice. I really want to do right by my current employer, so this is getting to be really nerve racking!

Should I assume that they will retract the offer for the failed drug test, or because I'm an illinois resident with a valid medical cannabis card do y'all think it's good to go and give my notice tuesday?

I would not give my notice unless I knew it was a for sure thing.

Just because you have a medical card come on some jobs can still deny you. Next time, buy a kit to clean your urine or something.
