Navigating a Job Offer Dilemma: Weighing Risks and Employer Respect

I'm currently in a bit of a dilemma regarding my job situation. I've received a job offer that has a start date that can't be negotiated, but I'm still waiting for the background check and drug test to clear. My notice period at my current job, where I've been for 8 years, will end up being less than two weeks if I decide to move forward. The background check shouldn't be an issue since I don't have a criminal record, but the drug test will likely show THC due to my valid medical card, which they assured me is acceptable. I'm really stressed about this decision. Should I risk burning bridges with my current employer by giving less than two weeks' notice, or should I wait until everything is finalized with the new job? There's a small chance the offer could be rescinded if something unexpected happens, and I don’t want to jeopardize my reputation. I'm leaning towards waiting until I have everything confirmed before I put in my notice, but I also want to be respectful to my current employer.
