What causes elevated GGT related to liver
GGT level of 235 is high for adults. Both GGT and Alkaline Phosphatase(ALP) go high in obstruction to bile flow. Increased GGT can be seen in Alcoholism, Granulomatous hepatitis, Drug induced hepatitis, Intra hepatic space occupying lesions, and bile flow obstructions. The high levels should be interpreted with clinical history and findings in each case.
ALP stands for alkaline phosphatase, which is an enzyme found in the liver and bones. GGT stands for gamma-glutamyl transferase, another liver enzyme that helps in the metabolism of compounds in the liver. Both ALP and GGT levels are often measured in blood tests to assess liver function.

GGT tests are for liver function, not drugs. So the answer is no. Then again...nothing says the doctor can't also order a THC screen at the same time as the GGT test.
