    Default Cannabis and car

    Hi folks, not been on for ages. I do hope you are all well and life treating you good.

    I have been meaning to post this here as I know I will get the much needed info I require.

    I have recently passed driving test in UK. Bit late but got there.

    How can I drive and be clean for any test I may need to take by law if this was ever the case while still being able to enjoy a smoke.

    What is the wait time between smoking and being able to pass a swab or blood test. Am I right in assuming I'd need to wait 3 to 4 weeks between each smoke to be able to legally drive? Or is there a threshold I need to be under and if so how long does that take. Normally takes me 3 plus weeks to get canna out of my system.

    I really need you guys to input as I value the knowledge here and I want to be able to be certain in what to do and how long to wait

    Thank you in advance

    It's done via an oral swab & the census of opinion is that it is around a 12 hour window that you will test positive ... I think a blood test is around the same time frame?

    It's piss & hair testing that show the long failure times - IMHO they are of no real use bar looking at someones lifestyle!

    Anyway, don't take the above as gospel, double check it first!

    Oh, great to see you about again

    Being an ex alcoholic, smoke weed now, better than any chemical shit antidepressants.I get tested every year,2-3 week cold Turkey then I go for test lol.
    Hope this helps,welcome back, I'm pretty new here.

    In the UK, it's doctor-state confidentiality. Doctors tell us what the state says we should hear. The state also dictates what doctors are not to tell us.

    So there's no true privacy in the UK. I've only been drug tested to get a new job and in case of an accident everyone involved got tested

    What if you passed your test completely stoned out of your face?

    Enhanced licence?
