Hey all,
I was wondering if anybody knows about sprinkles and drug tests based on blood instead of urinalysis. :- I know blood tests can be very sensitive, but do they do a full panel on synthetic cannabinoids? None of my recent sprinkles are banned at this point (5f-ur144, 5f-akb48, eam-220), so I don’t think they know to test for them… or do they?
I haven’t smoked weed in over 3 months, but I may have had some residue from using blends in a friend’s pipe that he uses for both about a month or so ago. What do you think are my chances, and what can I do to clear out for a blood test?
Thanks!
The classic 7 backbones for sprinkles won’t show up in a blood test after a couple days, certainly not after a few weeks at parts per million or billion. Parts per trillion? Who does that ? I’m not sure that would be a conclusive test at that level of detection anyway.
Technically one can test blood for lots of things but who does? If you had a suitable standard and the motivation to test a blood sample, and a sensitive LC/GC mass spec, your blood could be tested for metabolites but who is willing to spend the money and devote that time for a single test? For whatever reason if someone decided to spend that kind of time and energy to develop the test for your blood test, deny and ask for another–every day you abstain there are 99% or less sprinkles in your system if the half life is an 30 minutes; in other words, if you had 10 parts per trillion today, tomorrow you might only have a a tenth of a part per trillion…
THC and other MJ metabolites are stored in fatty tissues and can be found in keratin, so even your your hair will show some evidence of historical MJ use for months–yes, even 4 or 5 months although it is usually just qualitative instead of quantitative as time goes on. My point, however: this is not a normal detection method–someone really has to want to know what’s what to harvest a hair or fatty tissue sample, digest it, extract it and run a sample. Unless you are in a really sensitive position or something like that it is very unlikely you will be subjected to this level of detection.
Thanks much for the input, Ngls! I think I have about a week before they test me, but I enjoyed some blends yesterday. I’m actually more worried about traces of thc from my friend’s pipe, but I started using a blends-only pipe about 1 month ago. Is there anything you can eat or drink to help clean up your blood?
I did some research, and I found a few different charts. This seemed the most comprehensive and agree with other pages, so I thought I would share. It looks like I’m lucky with the blood test, because it doesn’t test for metabolites and single herb use is out of your system pretty quickly. This isn’t a military or super-high security type of place, so I don’t think they’ll look too hard for stuff.
