blood test - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Hey guys and girls,

I need some info. I've been looking into changing my health care provider and just found out that they want to do a blood test. The problem is that last night I smoked pot at a party. I can't be denied health insurance because I've had current coverage for more than 18 months and Florida law protects me on that issue but they could always make my rates super high.

So if I put off the blood test how long should I wait for the blood test to be clean?

Thanks for any help.

they don't test the blood for THC during normal blood work requests. Usually it's to help determine any pre-existing conditions you may have.

A standard blood test does not include testing for drugs....just health problems like really low white blood cell counts.
