Does Smoking Marijuana Affect Blood Tests, CT Scan And X Ray Results?
Hi there. I am 20 years old. I smoke marijuana on a regular basis (about 8 days a week). I have been smoking for the past 4 months. I am going to a specialist hospital to have a variety of tests, ie: blood tests, brain scans, X-rays, ect. I was wondering if smoking marijuana will affect any of these, or any other test results?

Hello
No, your marijuana smoking will not affect blood tests or brain scans.
It is possible that a chest x-ray might show chronic bronchitis or some mild emphysema from your smoking
