Question : I live in a condo. Which is attached to another. The neighbor smokes pot in the garage. The smell gets in my garage.Can this cause my family to get a positive report if they get drug tested?
Brief Answer:
Positive from passive inhalation of smoke is unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Ma'am
Thank you for asking ask a doctor service.
I have gone through your query with diligence. Passive inhalation of Marijuana smoke doesn't give positive results.
But if continuously inhaling the smoke in closed room then there is possibility of positive results. But if it is ventilated room then also it is unlikely to get a positive results.
Thanks.
