Child protection Australia (Victoria)

Please help if you have any experience.
We were reported to Child protection by a support worker for young families because of cannibis use and ‘concern about his size/feeding’ or something. My partner and I moved to the country recently where where have no reception- so I wasn’t responding to texts from the support worker.. and she reported us. She was with us for 6 months before deciding to. My son was born small but healthy and is growing well, his MCHN is not concerned at all and says he’s thriving.
Anyways so child protection showed up and have asked us to have drug tests and they want to have weekly visits until the case is resolved.

Has anyone been through this?? How scared should I be? What will they do when it comes back positive with high levels of THC? There’s no other substance abuse issues and I don’t think anything else is cause for concern. I feel like a horrible mother and I’m so anxious
