Yes, you can donate blood with THC in your system, as long as you're not under the influence at the time of the donation. :)
Good article on this topic: http://www.vermontcynic.com/media/storage/paper308/news/2004/04/13/Features/Dear-Dana-658076.shtml
"After speaking with a member of the Red Cross that works with blood donations, I found out that when screening the blood for impurities, there is no test for THC. (THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol which is the primary psychoactive compound present in marijuana.) There is not a THC-specific screen because the only drug-related danger they are concerned about is hepatitis, and this has no relation to marijuana chemicals. Also, a patient receiving marijuana saturated blood will not be harmed in any way because the concentration is so minimal that it cannot serve any therapeutic function. So, my reefer smoking cronies, you now have one less excuse when trying to evade donating blood."
