I am going for a blood test tomorrow, there is no specific reason, I just got my mom to call the clinic and make a app. to get one because I wanted to to know blood type. But will it pick up weed, and if so they don't have a right to tell my mother right? Because I'm not in danger of death or anything.

They have to follow the lab order slip that should be given by your doctor to the lab. Most labs won't just draw you blood for the fun of it, though I'm not sure if that's the case if you're just testing for a blood type. But with a lab order given from your doctor they're not supposed to test for anything more than what they are told to on an order. So no, they won't specifically looking for traces of drugs in your blood.
and no, you don't have to pee in a cup for a drug test, though that is one method of testing for drugs, they can also use saliva (not sure how that's valid...but i had it done once), or they actually use your hair. Weed will stay in your system 30 days if you're getting a urine test done, weed can show in your hair for I believe it to be 7 years, but I've had friends that have still gotten hired at jobs with that because they determined that they hadn't smoked weed recently.

Unless you ask them to test for drugs, they will not pick it up. If you are just going for a type and screen - they'll determine blood type only. You can also get a routine panel and they will not even look for drugs.
If you are at least 18, no medical professional can tell your mother anything without your permission.

Oh please, of course you need to know your blood type for a "reason" - who did you get pregnant?
Anyway they will not test for weed most likely, though it stays in the bodies system well over 90 days each and every time you smoke a joint and it's incredibly toxic. To just get a blood type they should not check for things other than what you are paying for.

If you are going in to know what blood type you are no they will not run a DRUG test. So don't worry, unless your mom has requested it, but it all depends how old you are. There is a law called the HIPPA Law that protects everyone seeking medical care, they can not disclose any of your information to anyone!!! Nothing to worry about!!

If they're not looking for drugs, then they won't do the tests to pick them up, it is not routine procedure to do a toxin screen on everyone, so unless you're actually being tested for drug use (and most of the time that is urine, but it doesn't have to be, there are also serum drug tests) I would say that your illicit marijuana use will go undetected.

Yes a blood test will "pick up weed".. Unless if they feel you are a danger to yourself or others they shouldn't tell your mother, they might confront you about it however..

If you are going for a blood typing then they aren't testing for anything. So quit worrying.
