I want to donate blood but I'm afraid there might be traces of marijuana in it. Do not sit here and say do not smoke because that is really annoying. But do they test for it when you donate it? They have a blood drive at my high school right now and I don't know if they do...
...and if they do would they try to get ahold of you? Or would just not use the blood? Even though marijuana woulden't do anything...

Drug testing is not a part of screening blood donors..BUT there will be an initial interview by physicians or lab. technologist that will determine also if you are qualified.So,your physical attributes may show sign of drug abuse like vital signs (blood pressure & pulse rate ). If you really want to help other people who needs blood and may even save lives, just try not to smoke for a day then donate.BUT i do pray you will stop that thing. God bless

maximum blood sequence centers would take care of marijuana use earlier to volunteer blood donation as they might alcohol use. If donor crew can come around the scent of alcohol or marijuana, the guy does not be allowed to donate on the prompt. This has not some thing to do with ETOH or THC contained in the blood ingredient; the quantities modern-day would haven't any result on the affected individual. those intoxicants could, even as blended with the lack of fluid quantity and red cellular mass, develop the opportunity of submit-donation reactions alongside with dizziness, fainting, nausea, etc. Blood middle medical administrators could evaluate the protection of the donor, to boot because the recipient. FDA guidelines do not require drug screening exams on donated blood.

They don't test but be sure to answer any questions honestly. It is against the law for them to share any info you give them so don't worry about that. More important to be truthful. And no, they wouldn't call you for that.

Not that I have heard of. They generally screen it for STDs like HIV.
