Cansecond Hand Marijuana Smoke Cause Positive Urine Drug Test?
Sorry,your son is not telling the right story.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Thanks for writing to HCM
Sorry to say that your son is not telling you the right story.
Your doubt is genuine.
Second hand marijuana smoke can leave traces of the chemical tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in urine for a day or so after breathing the smoke. However,the amount is usually not enough to make the test positive.
Most drug tests have intentionally high standards to avoid false positive results due to incidental ingestion of second hand smoke.
Your son is very young and he should be tackled sensitively.
Guide him in selecting right things and discuss the fatal side effects.
You can take help from professionals like psychiatrist and psychologist.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.
Take Care
