A member asked:

If your sitting next to people smoking marijuana, and your next to the smoke will you inhale marijuana, even a small amount in your system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The answer is absolutely yes. You will be breathing in air containing marijuana and it will be absorbed into your system. There is simply no way around that. Best wishes.
