Will Marijuana Smoking Affect My Potassium And Sodium Blood Test Results?

I smoked marijuana one time a week ago. And I have to take a potassium and sodium blood test for these pills that im taking. Will marijuana affect my blood in anyway, or will marijuana show up in my blood or does it affect the sodium and potassium levels.

Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concerns.

marijuana taken only one time doesn't have any influence on blood or body. so you need not worry much. But it will be detected in the tests atleast for the next 3 weeks. But chronic use of marijuana definitely reduces potassium and sodium levels.
hope this answers your query. Thank you
