The lab will only check for drugs in the system if requested to do so by the GP taking the bloods. Can't see why he would ask them to do so in the general scheme of things.

There is some disagreement on how long it take to metabolise from the system. Depends on how much ingested and even body fat. General concensus of opinion is between 8 and up to 25 days. If you are a regular user it will be longer. The blood system basically becomes stoned and sluggish therefore takes longer to cleanse itself.

You have two options. delay your medical for a couple of more weeks or be totally honest with the doctor. Tell him what you have just told us. He'll probably laugh and tell you not to worry. He's not going to give a toss about a bit of ganja.

I thought it was about 3 months for "waccy baccy" to metabolise from the system. Either way I don't think it will be a problem, the medical is more for long term health indications?

What exactly happens when you have a medical... I'm sort of picturing me running full throttle (which wont be very fast in my case!) on a tredmill with those pad things stuck all over me. Please tell me I'm wrong.... I dont do tredmills!
