27. I do pee tests and physicals for a living

There have been numerous studies on second hand pot smoke. Rigorous tests. Like actually have 4 people in a closed car and have one person smoke 2 joints with windows up and doors closed. The other 3 were tested and are ALWAYS negative. Tests like this and many others are performed by Big time Labs.

The research is very, very clear. Second hand pot smoke does not cause a positive urinalysis.

But....... Around 65% of the positives I have dealt with all claim it was from second hand pot smoke. Sigh, that story never works. After I explain that is a medical impossibility, and describe the research, explain how many times and tests have been done on this, a whole ten minute spiel, most of them smile and admit the truth. Not all, but most.
