Offer unexpectedly contingent upon passing a drug test

I have been trying to get out of a toxic work situation for about four months now and I finally have an offer. For context, its a position in the financial services industry, I went through 5 different interviews and this position will be a 40k increase to what I'm currently making. The HR rep I've been working with just called to let me know that I need to take a drug test within 72 hrs in order for the offer to still stand. I did not know about this, it was not in the job description and no one ever said anything about it. I live in a state where pot is legal for recreational use. I obviously partake, and pretty regularly (maybe 2 or 3 times per week, sometimes less). In fact I was literally doing so as the HR person called. Do I have anything to worry…

Do I have anything to worry about? I live in NY state and the firm is based out of Iowa. Would really love some advice from someone who knows/ have been through this before!
