Question
If you smoke cigarette tobacco from a marijuana bowel does thc run in your blood to the point where you will fail a drug test?
Hey Amber,
This is a tricky one. However, if the water hadn't been changed for ages, and there was residue in the bowl, I guess it is possible. If this has happened to you, I would ask for a retest and they can order tests that check how much there is in your system, and if you haven't used any since, it would go down with each test.
