    I was wondering what is the policy on blood donations and drug use. I know one of the questions is "Have you ever snorted cocaine in the last 12 months" or "Ever injected drugs or had sex for drugs".

    What about hard drugs, do they ban people for them? And I heard that they only do STD and blood type tests but don't test for drugs of abuse, is that true?

    I find it hard to believe they'd take the risk with someone who comes into a clinic after having taken speed and not test the blood even if they said they didn't take any drugs. That could affect the recipient.

    Drugs are for mugs.

    If you need any proof, just check Mr F’s post history.
