A member asked:
I smoked marijuana yesterday and my doctor told me to come in tomorrow to get some lab test done. will smoking effect my test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Marijuana can be detected up to a week after smoking. So if your testing is a drug screen including marijuana, then yes - the test will be affected. But all other blood chemistries and blood element testing will be unaffected.
