I've been smoking quite alot lately, and theres no way i'd pass a test. But im due for a routine GP blood test tommorow just to check for diseases or w/e. Does anybody know if they would see thc in the blood without checking? Or would tht cost them more money to check......

If your just getting checked for diseases then have no worries...thc doesn't stay in your blood very long though...it get's stored in fat cells.

May wanna fact-check this. Yes, THC is stored in the fat cells. However, any calorie depletion that occurs--even in just everyday activities--there are fat cells that are burned off along with it. With the depletion of these fat cells, it causes the THC to recirculate through the blood, meaning you're still able to test positive.

To the OP: If you are being tested in a hospital simply for diseases, don't worry about being drug tested. It costs the hospital more money, it takes up more lab resources and time, they have no reason to drug test you, and it is illegal to drug test you without your informed consent. Unless you have been told ahead of time that you will be tested for illegal substances, you have no cause for concern.

Thanks for the info arucard...I wasn't aware that it would/could recirculate. I just knew that after smoking that thc stayed in your bloodstream for x amount of time

We have a winner! Must be a reason for all those lil' green boxes.
