A member asked:
My roommates smoke marijuana almost everyday the smell comes through their door, to my room. will that cause me to fail a drug test?

Possibly: Are you getting the effects? If you are getting the effects then very likely you would have a positive test. Even if you do not feel the effects you might fail the test

Depends: Many common urine drug tests are not sensitive enough to pick up minor second hand exposures. However, chronic low grade exposures may eventually trigger a positive test. Limiting your exposure is your best way to avoid the problem.
