I m getting a blood test that will do the following tests : Complete blood count/ Blood sugar (diabetics)/ Urine or serum pregnancy Lipids Triglycerides/ Cholesterol/ HDL/ LDL Liver function ALT/ AST/ Alk. phos. I would like to know if the presence of marijuana (THC) will be detected by any of these tests. The blood test is due to acne medication I m using named Epuris. Thanks for the time and answers.

Hi,
Marijuana is a drug and is usually present in the serum for a short while.
However, it is not detected by all the tests above and requires special drug screen for evaluation.
However, if you want interpretation of the above tests, i will try to help you.
If you have any further queries, happy to help again.
