If I get STD tested will marijuana show up ?

Question

I am going to get an STD test at my Dr's office I think. I have smoked quite a bit of weed in the last two months and I know marijuana shows up under blood tests longer than a urine test. If they test me for STDs will marijuana show up? I don't want my mom to know.

Answer 1

I honestly don't think so. Because STD's require blood tests. Drug testing usually consists of urine tests. I think you'll be ok!

Answer 2

Marijuana would not show up on tests for STDs.  They would specifically have to do a test for marijuana in order to find it.

Answer 3

maybe how about not smoking

Answer 4

Whether sexually active or not as a kid, its a matter of ethical debate.  it is a fact however, that if you are sexually active, it is the responsible thing to do to get STD testing before and after each partner, at least assuming you don't go through random people at will.

For the record, urine tests are more accurate at telling longer use of marijuana than blood tests.  THC is very fat loving and doesn't prefer blood.  Numerous enzymatic reactions slowly make THC more water loving, and these metabolites quickly transfer to the urine upon formation.

Depending on what state you are in, you may have the right, even as a minor, to request portions of your medical record not be allowed viewing by your parents.

All that being said, let me say I wish I could have enjoyed childhood longer.  Selling drugs by the age of 8 (my brothers were having me ride my bike to friends), I was given the option to choose to do them at a young age.  A crackhead by 8th grade.

Now I'm a successful molecular biologist, and yes, I do smoke medical marijuana.  I've seen drugs from every aspect: molecular, pharmacological, addictive, and personal.  While marijuana may not be as harmful as the government claims it to be, any drug can be bad for a developing body.  During pubery, many new hormones are introduced to the body, receptors are increased, genetic regulation switches dramatically, etc.  Chronic administration of any outside drug, when not needed medically, can have huge effects, long term effects, on the outcome of puberty and your development.

I'm certainly not against marijuana, but I do think you should develop yourself as a person while your parents still support you.  Pursue your dreams.  Adult life is stressful enough.  You can make the decision to do or not do drugs as an adult, but make an informed decision.

Answer 5

No, a drug test is needed to detect marijuana.

Drugs, STD's, what else?  Are you working on a criminal record as well?  How do you plan to keep your mother in the dark when she has to visit you in prison?  Or if you get HIV?  Geeze... wise up already!

Loser.

Answer 6

No not at all!! They will ask you if you smoke marijuanna though and the last time you smoked, just be honest cause it doesn't matter
