A member asked:

If someone smokes marijuana and french kisses me 5 min. later and a lot of saliva is exchanged, can i get any amount of marij. in my system.

Unlikely: I don't think a significant amount would be passed through kissing.

No: Thc is absorbed into the bloodstream in the lungs. Saliva will not transport it to you thru kissing unless you inhale smoke that's in their mouth.
