I went to a dance club 2 nights ago and there were people smoking weed. I have never smoked weed in my entire life, but now my hair smells like smoke, and the scent of marijuana that night was fairly strong. I have to take a drug test tomorrow for a law enforcement agency. Will this cause me to fail it? Hope not.

Passive inhalation of marijuana. In general, routine passive exposure to marijuana smoke will not result in a positive result for carboxy-THC. Only under unrealistic conditions, a person may test positive for carboxy-THC, but concentrations are generally below the routine cut off levels.

hahahah no, don't sweat it. Unless they were hardcore hotboxing the room, you're fine. If you were only tehre two minutes, and they were not hotboxing, you'd have just got enough to maybe fog you over a bit for a littel while that night, but you probs didn't notice it. My brother sat in on a hotbox sesh once and he was in with us like 10 minutes there were 6 of us and a small room and we were hotboxing, he barely got glazed enough for me to notice it was in his system. It is kinda sketch that you took the test 48 hours later, but my hunch is your fine. It also depends on what kind of test. If it was a mouth swab test, i doubt it becuase you have to smoke legitly less than three days from teh test for it to show up. Even if it was a bonafide hardcore UA, then still i doubt it for several reasons: 1)The test measures THC breakdown byproducts in your urine, and 48 hours would not be enough to show up these byproducts from fat breakdown by your metabolism 2) The amount in your system was negligible. Two minutes in a normal sized room, even if you were in the toking circle, since you didn't partake directly, would probably get you the equivalent of less than a third of a legit hit on the pipe. The percent of that smoek that's actually THC, since it's already been in someone elses lungs, is also lower than normally it would be if you were actually smoking. IN the end, the low amount of exposure and low concentratiton and body absorption over 48 hours pretty much = negligible traces. 3) All together, i would almsot BET that you're completely fine. and even fi you aren't, as long as you don't smoke in the next week or so, if the results come in as you DO have thc in your system, just contest the resuslts. Most people do a secondary screening, and in that second one you'll DEFINTIELY be clear of it, as long as you don't do anything dumb in the meantime. Best of luck, but i doubt you'll need it =]

No, it has to stick to your fat cells. For you, you could even smoke once and not fail. And to the guy who said you should have left as soon as you noticed it, what an ignorant jerk. Just because someone ELSE is doing something illegal doesnt mean you shouldnt be able to go out and enjoy the band/music/nightlife you are into. What are you supposed to do, are you THEIR mother???? What an idiot. and good luck, but youll be fine. These will be qualified chemists, they will be able to tell instantly that your not a drug user from your urine test.

Maybe.
You should disclose this. Be upfront and say "I was in a dance club 2 days ago and people were smoking week. I was not."
Then, let them decide what they want to do with this information. If you're lucky, they'll look at the test results with that in mind.
If you're not lucky, they won't believe you, will be overly critical of your test results, or be concerned about your judgment because you staying in a club with people smoking weed.
However, if you don't disclose this and it does show up, you won't get a chance to explain yourself.

Here is the problem. You went to this dance club and the minute you noticed that there were illegal drugs there----you should have left immediately. But you didn't. I don't think you are ready for any kind of law enforcement. You can't go to these clubs and hang out with illegal drug users when you are a police officer. Seems to me that the clubs are much more important to you than a career.

you would have to inhale and aweful lot of second hand smoke for it to show up. I actually asked a dr about this and he said you would have to be in a room with over 100 people all blowing smoke right into your face for there to be any problems

It depends on the tests used. I'm sure it's not the end if you do fail.

I really don't think it will cause you to fail. Such a small amount will not stay in your system that long.

i believe so, becuase you were breathing it in. suggestion for today: drink lots and lots of water and cranberry juice, that should clean out your system somewhat. plus because you were not actually inhaling it directly there shouldn't be much of it in your system.
