phoenix Reviewed by phoenix on 11-28-2006. "Donating" Plasma Alright, me and a couple of my friends have an idea(to buy more weed) but I have a question. We're going to go as a group and donate plasma and receive $30 per person. I've been researching plasma donation on the web, and the guides tell you that you'll be asked about medical history, allergies, any disabilities, etc... but they also say you will be screened for drugs :eek: Does this mean they'll test my blood for ALL major types of illegal drugs? Has anyone actually donated plasma Rating: 5

Dude.

Are you the Aris I think you are? Cause if you are, you're stupid. You the one from XBF?

If you aren't, I'm real sorry, I'm stupid. Heh.

so wait, once youve had the plasma taken, does your body make more? this sounds sweet. how old must you be to donate plasma?

[phoenix]

Yeah, you're always making more plasma. I think you need to be at least 16, it might be 17.

I went up there to donate and was just about to get ready to be strapped in when they asked if I had any tattoos and I made the mistake of telling them the actual date instead of lying (like my friends did) so I couldn't donate any. They say you have to wait until it's been a full year from the day you got your tattoo to be able to give any plasma. I was pretty pissed...

[phoenix]

Go back later to a different person and tell them a different date.

[officerleeroy]

I would but they have me on file now.

...how do i find a plasma donation place near me?

(i live in Rapid City, South Dakota if anyone would like to help me out )

Haha, I just got done donating actually. I still have the bandage on. The center here gives you $15 your first time and $30 your second time. You go twice a week. The one I used to donate at at a different college paid less. You usually get extra like your first time, but after that it goes down to that.

The whole procedure doesn't really hurt at all but you gotta chill there for a little while, usually takes 2-3 hours from the time you get there til the time you get done. Longer if its your first time.

But yeah, you get a physical and asked a bunch of medical questions, you can't have done a lot of shit, but they don't test for drugs. You will pee in a cup, but its not a drug test, its checking other levels to make sure you're healthy. Just don't smoke right before you go in, it raises your pulse and blood pressure. I know for sure, cause I've been several places and never stopped smoking once.
