Living with someone that smokes marijuana and question about testing?
My fiance smokes everyday and I don’t. Right now I’m in a program to become a pharmacy technician and will soon be taking a drug test to graduate. Because we live in the same apartment I’m wondering if there were be any significant results that may cause me to not be able to graduate (ie. failing drug test)?
Passive inhalation of marijuana smoke is sometimes given by people as a reason for their positive urine test. Studies show that it is highly unlikely that a non-smoking individual could inhale enough secondhand smoke to result in a positive urine test.
In tests at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, individuals were placed in a tiny unventilated room, and exposed to the smoke of 4, then 16 marijuana cigarettes for one hour a day, six straight days. After exposure to smoke from 16 marijuana cigarettes (in smoke so dense that volunteers needed goggles to protect their eyes), the percentage of positive urine tests was nearly equivalent to that of a person smoking one marijuana cigarette.
