Might have slight effects on fertilty. Second hand marijuana smoke, (although it certainly seems like it makes me feel something) is such an extremely low dose that it cannot show up on urine tests even if done immediately after heavy exposure. So, would not expect much effect from it second hand EXCEPT if someone was very sensitive to triggering asthma.
