Blood test

[Chieftain WeedGuyver]

Sometime during summer I will be going to a new doctor, so he needs to do a routine lab where I'll be given a blood test and maybe a urine test.

I was wondering how long I had to go without smoking to be able to pass a blood test, and if there was something I could do to help pass the test.


Thanks in advance.

Anyone? I need to know how long soon. My roommate said that I should give it 2 months to be sure that it's cleared out of my blood system.

If it helps, I'm 6'1'' and 270 lbs.

I need to know ASAP because the bloodtest will be sometime this summer, June or July, not sure yet.

Thanks in advance.

Are they testing for court? If not then you don't really have to worry about anything. Patient doctor confidentiality.

The thing is I don't know how much the doctors in Puerto Rico care for the patient / doctor confidentiality. My mom has been going to that doctor for forever so I think he might just tell him.

And I don't know if cannabis showing up in my blood would cause the doctor to not give me the referral for the operation, it's to remove my tonsils.

Erowid Cannabis Vault : Drug Tests (http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_testing.shtml)
that should help.

Thanks a lot man, not I got a quick question.

"Blood Testing
Cannabis is detectable in the blood for approximately 2-3 days after use in an infrequent user. Frequent use can be detected in the blood for approximately 2 weeks."

Does that mean that if I stay clean for 3 weeks or so it won't show up in the blood test?

I have always seen that 72 hours was the max for blood test, no matter how much you smoke. Urine is longer because the kidneys take the metabolites out from the large blood volume you have and basically reconcentrates it in the urine. There is nothing that can be done for blood test but time.

[Chieftain WeedGuyver]

So a week should do it for blood test. Though I'm pretty sure urine will be included in the regular lab work they give a new patient.

Thanks for the info, I'ma go read up on the urine tests.

Get high for me, all of you ;D

Ok, so I've read the threads on urine and didn't find my answer..so sorry if it IS out there.

Along with my blood test, something I forgot, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting an urine test.

I was wondering how much water should I drink and for how many days to pass it.

I'm a heavy smoker, smoking if not every day to every other day, varying from regular to strong weed depending on what I can find.

I'm 6'1'' and somewhere around 270 lbs.

Thanks in advance.

If your really worried, drink vinegar. 3 cups outta do it. My friend did it, passed the test the next day. no shit

[FakeBoobsRule]

Vinegar will do nothing but make you sick to your stomach!

Despite what every one is telling, drinking water for days and days will do nothing to help you pass the test. Drinking water on the day of the test is a different story, that is dilution.

Only in the rarest of cases does a person receive two types of drug test at one time, such as both blood and urine. I am willing to bet they will only be testing your urine and not blood. Either way, urine is the one to be worried about.

If you are 6'1" and 270, you are grossly overweight. This is going to increase the time it will take for your body to get clean. I would consider going with substitution instead of dilution to pass your test. If you really want to go with dilution, then you should invest in some home drug testing kits.

go to CVS, buy at home drug test kit that tests specifically for marijuana, it's $14.99 for 1 box. You put 4 drops of your urine in it and wait 3-8 minutes, and if you're below the threshhold of 50 ng/ml which they test for, it will read negative.

To FakeBoobsRule:

The tests are lab work for a new doctor, which they'll most likely do both urine and blood. I have vague memories as a kid of having to do both tests.

And I know how overweight I am, gotta work on that Lol

To FourTwenty4Life:

I'm gonna end up doing that. I'll buy 2 or 3 and see how much over the threshhold I am and depending on that I'll figure out when to stop smoking.


Thanks people.

Chief,
Just because they draw your blood doesn't mean they will screen it for drugs. If they are going to test your blood for drugs, they have to have consent, FYI. Same goes with the urine. So if this is just routine work up for a physical there is a chance neither may be tested but it still seems redundent to test both as well as a waste of money.

I wasn't trying to be offensive with the info on weight. It is just that since THC is fat soluble, being overweight tends to increase the time to get clean.

[Chieftain WeedGuyver]

Hey, don't worry about it, I don't get offended about being told I'm fat, I know I am, and I know about THC being fet soluble and the time depending on weight and what not, so it's all good.

I'm not sure if they'll screen it for drugs or not, but I just want to go on the safe side. My mom has been going to the same doctor for years now, and I don't know if he'd tell my mom and forget about the doctor patient confidentiality.

I know I should care, due to the fact that I don't live at home anymore, but she's supporting me through college, and it's way too expensive to be able to pay for it, rent, necessities, and what not without someone's help =/

Otherwise I would've told them about it already.
