Hello, ANS:- The answer I'm affraid is almost certainly YES!! (remember cannabis can and does stay in the blood stream for 24-48hrs), the test will look for any other kinds of drugs legal ones as well as illegal ones. (normal prescription drugs will be detected as well as alcohol). Sorry! to tell you but such tests can be extremely sensitive and can detect subtances down to many many parts per milion. Its the same sort of testing that professional athletes under go. **There will be very clearly defined & allowable limits for certain substances with the blood and threashold levels over which certain substances are then considered illegal or law braking due to the effects they can & do have on human perception and the ability to control or drive a vehicle safely. **Drug testing has become increasingly common in the last 10years due to the rise in drug taking for receational use.

Responsibility for determining the standards, including medical requirements, to be applied to taxi drivers, over and
above the driver licensing requirements, rests with the Public Carriage Office in the Metropolitan area and the Local
Authority in all others areas. Current best practice advice is contained in the booklet “Medical Aspects of Fitness to
Drive” published by the Medical Commission on Accident Prevention in 1995. This recommended that the Group 2
medical standards applied by DVLA in relation to bus and lorry drivers, should also be applied by local authorities to
taxi drivers.

Very very doubtful. in my job i am subject to random drug testing. As it is possible to passively inhale cannabis smoke i asked this question and was told that they can very easily tell if you passively or actively smoked it from the levels found. If anyone disputes the findings they can check hair and nail samples that will definitely show when and how much was absorbed into the system

No.
An experiment was done last year whereby One guy smoked 5 joints in a telephone cubicle whilst three others "passively smoked"
The smoker was tested positive for cannabis, the others were negative.

It depends on the level of THC detected in the test, even then you will be retested and your levels should have dropped, so either way if you want to pass their tests, stop smoking for a while.

You can say that, but they won't believe it - and will still have to make the same decisions based on their policy as if you had denied it altogether, or as if you had admitted it. That's why they have the test in the first place - to give them an impartial answer to their question - otherwise, they'd just ask you outright and accept your answer.
Sorry.

Stop smoking for a while? TRY STOP SMOKING FOREVER!!!
Another person who thinks that doing something that is both bad for you AND illegal is OK if it makes them feel good.... jeez.... what the liberals have taught America....
You cannot, and should not get away with it

there is an acceptable level of THC that accounts for contact other than smoking it. so it depends on how much you smoke.
