Didn't know where to post this but please I am so worried!! I just got a standard physical and inlcuded was I had to pee in a cup. They didn't tell me it was for drugs specifically. Will marijuana show up on a test like this? And if it does I last smoked about 100 Hours ago but I rarley rarley smoke. What happens if it does show up on a physical? Will this mean I don't get into college!? Please anyone I'm having a heary attack right now:eek:

You will be fine unless they are specifically looking for marijuania (like in a drug test at a job interview) then you have nothing to worry about.

If they are looking for drugs it will show up,

Urine tests are usually specifically for illegal drugs, nothing else, unless you have a medical condition and a doctor orders it.

Soooo, if you smoked grass, you will not pass.

Hello t:

In a normal physical, they're not looking for drugs. I think you can go to college.

excon

PS> If THIS college won't let you in because you smoke dope, then I wouldn't want to go there anyway.

What if this person is going into medicine? Would you want a junkie in medical school?

Last time I checked or smoked (j/k :P) Marijuana is no where near the same the typical often MAN MADE drugs that would make someone a canidate for being called a junkie,BUT because it is illegal some college programs require a drug test. Fortunately for me I was a psych major so no drug test but I had friends who had to take a drug test for thr nursing program and you know what they did? Drank A LOT of water and exercised two weeks before the test and they all did fine.

In my humble opinon Marijuana shouldn't even be listed as a illicit drug. What's the worst thing that will happen if you smoke a whole lot of pot? You go to get the munchies and fall asleep. Now I am not advocating people drive while stoned just like people shouldn't drink and drive,but I don't see the big deal if people stay in their houses and smoke a little pot who are they harming?

Pot has all sorts of medicinal uses that people refuse to explore because they are too afraid that society will crumble which it won't (didi the world crumble when mass made gay marriage legal?) To me it is a shame and a pity that cancer patients and anorexics have to continue to suffer because our government won't even allow pot to be legal for medicinal uses... of course this is the same government that won't allow stem cell research in the USA

Here's a site that may help;

How long does marijuana stay in your system

All information on your medical condition is confidential, and can not be shared with anyone (including your college) unless you (or your guardian) sign a waiver authorizing release of the information. So even if the drugs were found during the test (which is highly unlikely as screening for drugs is not the purpose of the urine sample in this case), only your physician and test lab would know your "secret."
