Cannabis and blood tests?

i am going to the nurse tomorrow for a blood test and regulary smoke cannabis,will this be picked up or will she only pick up on what she needs to know?

the nurse will be doing a full blood count trying to find oout why i've lost weight and feeling down at the moment.so i'm just worried that if they find traces of cannabis they'll just blame it all on that.

It stays longer in the blood than it does with urine. It stays in urine for 3 to 8 days. In the blood it can stay for over a month. If this is an actual drug test you're talking about, then you will fail.

An ingredient in cannabis attaches itself to fat cells in your body and these fat cells are analysed to see if cannabis is present. Therefore, if you are overweight or have a high body fat content, it takes longer to flush out of your system.

If it's a blood test looking for something other than illegal drugs, then you should be ok. These procedures are carried out by medical personnel using specific testing kits. If they don't test for a specific substance, then they won't find it.

At the risk of sounding like a prick here, have you ever thought about giving up smoking gear?

Your choice, obviously. I won't give you the reasons.

They will only know about it if they are actually testing for it. it won't just show up if they are not looking for it.

If they are doing a drug screen, it will show up but not for a routine blood test. Every day!!!!!!!!

Melissa's right ,they will find only what they are looking for.

I imagine she will only pick up what she needs to know. But still, i aint a nurse, so i could'nt say for sure... Might wanna look it up some more on the net. It would help if you knew the name of the tests you where having?...

it will only come up if they are looking for it - stop smoking...

You will be fine unless it is a drug test. The last time I went for blood test the nurse asked if I took drugs, I said no and she took me at my word. Don't worry mate!

they pick up what they are screening.

Just remember not to have your joint in your mouth while doing your blood test

when you have blood test you get checked for every thin even though they don't tel you I'm not just tellin you this to scare you its the truth n it last in you system for 4weeks but even if it does show they mint not say anythin anyway cos that's not what your being checked for

The cannabis is making you paranoid. It may also have a part to play in you feeling down and your loss of appetite. She will not be testing for it. Give it up for a while. You may be able to cure yourself of all your problems without any medical help.

It will not show up unless it is specifically tested for and this would require your consent.

You are rightly however feeling guilty about your use of this iniquitous drug whose multiplicity of side effects are often belittled.

It is addictive! It increased the risk of depression, paranoia and schizophrenia. All chronic users will develop a degree of brain atrophy = shrinkage, this leads to and accelerates dementia. STOP NOW!

unless they are specifically looking for drugs in your system then they will not pick up on it
