    Anyone know if your around someone smoking weed if the 2nd hand smoke will cause you to fail a drug test.

    I'm thinking it could, because if 2nd smoke from cigarette's can cause cancer, wouldn't weed get into your blood?

    I used to smoke back in the day but have not for years, But alot of my friends still do

    Nope....You would have to be in a closed vehicle or small area with them puffing a whole bag to get enough to fail a drug test.

    In other words,you would have to be stoned yourself to have enough in your system to show up.

    Most of my friends smoke and I've had no problems ever passing a drug test. Even been in a car with them with the windows rolled up.

    Not a chance. If your hot, it's because you smoked it yourself.

    Just don't inhale. And if you take a shotgun, it doesn't count.

    The parameters for work place drug tests are set in such a way that a concentration level high enough to fail the test cannot be reached with second hand smoke. The test will still show levels of THC in the body. They will just be below the threshold for a positive result.

    Well speaking from experience I have a neighbor that whole family smokes it night and day and the wind blows it to my house 75 feet across the street. If I'm outside while their home I get sick. Always have. During summer it comes inside. On one test I tested the bate minimal but it was enough for me to have to jump through loops to get cleared. Be worried. Be real worried. Easy to accuse hard to prove innocent.

    If you are that worried about it. Find some other friends to hang with. I believe you will be fine, but remember. Its your CDL. Dont let others mess it up for you.
