No I wasn't joking, but obviously not that stupid to understand it won't be in your system forever. I do not know enough about the stuff to know if second hand smoke gets into your system or not, just an honest question.

Atreyu,

You would have to be standing in the middle of a group of smokers that smoked nonstop for hours for it to show in your system. The concentration from 2nd hand smoke is nowhere near what you'd need to test positive. Relax, these guys are just playing with you.

From DrugTestingKits.com:

Is it possible to test positive for THC (Marijuana / Cannabis) from exposure to second hand smoke?

It is not! Urine concentrations of THC above the cut-off sensitivity level of the test, or a positive result, is possible only through use / inhalation. However, second hand smoke will be in the system, but not at the concentrations that would indicate drug abuse.

From Marijuana.com:

Can Secondhand Smoke Cause a Positive Drug Test?

In rare occurrences, secondhand marijuana smoke can cause you to fail your drug test. It is possible that secondhand marijuana smoke will raise someone to the 50 ng/mL level. However, extreme secondhand exposure is required. For instance, being in a closed car full of pot smokers for several hours might cause someone to test positive in a drug test the very next day. Non-smokers are safe in a ventilated area such as an average living room or garage where partygoers are smoking pot.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it.

The above being true... I still recommend what you did in terms of GTFO'ing as soon as possible, not only to avoid second-hand smoke but to avoid any legal entanglements, especially at parties...

That's not what the guy on Venice beach said! And he was wearing a doctor coat.

Which drugs? Do you mean caffeine, alcohol, nicotine or THC?

Or perhaps. caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, petrochemical products, sugar, salt, fat, carbs, gambling, porn and instant gratification......most of which are available in gas stations/food marts.

They should be called "Addiction Stores", really.
