    Honestly i have not been clean shaven since 2001! I am so sad....

    Ok, point taken on board :D

    So what about passive smoking of the stuff because i really don't want to fail the medical :( A few of my friends are wanting me to go to amsterdam and i know what some of them will be doin :rolleyes: (should i arrest them when they come back? lol) but if i was to be with them in these 'smoking cafes', would i still fail the med test? as i am probably still consuming the stuff via passive smoking? :confused:

    Also, 1 more thing, u c the hair sample, is it taken from ur head or hairs on ur arm etc?

    P.S i know this all sounds strange and seedy but i'm not into any of tht carry-on but i cant help it if sum ppl i know are.

    Jon

    Not going is a bit drastic... just be careful! When your mates are smoking the wacky baccy, do some, er, window shopping or something - or tell them to eat buns instead! :P

    But, i suppose, its better to err on the side of caution and postpone the holiday IF it means enough to you!

    ok i've decided to give the holiday a miss, really dont want to do anythin that could jeopardise my chances.

    and no i dont have a date for my medical yet, i was told that i'd be contacted sometime in sept.

    although this has got me worried, i have some work colleges that sometimes smoke the stuff in my presence, take it i should avoid them when their using that stuff then from now on, although seriously if it was found in my system, even jus a small amount from passive smoking, would i fail? or could i appeal or what? amean u could be inhaling that stuff in clubs, cars, anywhere really.

    You cant smoke in clubs and if your in a car where its being smoked you are putting yourself in the position were drugs are being used.

    I would imagine to test positive for it you would need to have inhaled it yourself not second hand.

    Can I test positive for secondhand smoke?

    FSR Drug Test Frequently Asked Questions
    No. Research experiments have been conducted that exposed nonsmoking individuals to heavy concentrations of marijuana smoke in confined quarters. The nonsmoking individuals could not absorb enough smoke, even after several hours of exposure, to cause a positive result in subsequent urinalysis.

    I've been in the presence of much dope smoking in my time but since I've been seriously thinking about applying for the police and since I did apply I have kept as much distance from it as possible.
    Was round at a friends BBQ a couple of weeks ago and some guy passed me a joint and I quite literally ran to the other end of the garden - Not taking any risks with the medical or with anything for that matter.

    + if i was to get it, it wouldn't do much for my integrity to be smoking it or knowing being in the presence of its use (if that makes sense)

    alot of my friends would do it from time to time and i have never once tried it, I always leave the room or go outside until they are finished. I think my worst nightmare would be someone making me have to smoke any kind of drug or cigarette. I would cry.
