Urine drug screen was obtained and was positive for benzodiazepines. “I had a Valium several weeks ago; and cannabis, I use that to stimulate my appetite.”
The second sentence is obviously the patient speaking, so the entire sentence would be in quotes. I don't see a need for parentheses. Since it is a compound sentence with the second part containing a comma, I would use a semicolon the separate the two parts.
