Smoking pot.. will doctor know...?


dave matthews band concert coming up on wednesday... if i smoke pot, will the doctor know if i had an appt. recently after?

Marijuana generally leaves the bloodstream within 24-48 hours if you are giving a blood test,
and most regular checkups don't involve a drug screen urine test.

However, when THC leaves your bloodstream, it metabolizes in your fat cells. A light smoker with little fat will hold onto that for 4-10 days. A heavy smoker with more fat can hold onto it for 3-4weeks. Avoid exercising within 2 days of a drug test, and drink lots of water. This will keep the metabolized THC in, and the purged THC out giving you a gap in your body's natural detoxation process.

Furthermore, a doctor will not likely care -- though they may have a word with you if you are on antidepressants or especially if pregnant, they are operating under confidentiality agreements and will not release the information to Parents, Spouse, Employers, or even Insurance agents. If you are taking a drug test specifically to be screened for toxins for a job then you are volunteering the information and you should reschedule for the latest date possible.

the way the would find out is through urine test
but they don't test or marijuana unless your parent or somebody requests the test.
you should be fine as long as it is a normal checkup

and for me, i just said i couldn't pee
they told me to just do it before i left
i didn't and nothing ever happened haha

What are you going to do at the Dr? I mean are you getting a checkup....peeing in a cup for anything.....what is it your going to do. That will make a difference. The doc can't just look at you and decide ' Have you smoked pot in the last week, because it looks like it'

If it shows up in a test done for some other reason, your doctor will know. Your doctor doesn't really care, I mean he/she might talk to you about making healthy decisions but that is all they can do because of confidentiality laws.

not unless you or your parents give them consent to drug test you. if your parents dont suspect you smoking pot or doing drugs they won't even ask for that.

You can skip out on the pot and still have a good time.

For sports they can detect pot up to 2 years after.
But typically it lasts 8 months.

is he testing you for pot

yep, they will know allright.
