Living while in TPAPN

Published

Hey all,

husband and I have been going to the same concert for the last 20 years every summer. There tends to be a lot of pot smoking at the shows it’s just part of it. I’m just going for the music!! It’s a band we love dearly and it’s always been “our thing”. I won’t be drinking alcohol nor partaking in anything that is not TPAPN friendly.

So my question is.... is second hand smoke a real thing?? I’ve always thought it was a bunch of bologna but I don’t want to have any issues with a failed drug screen.

Advice/experience??

I don't really know for sure if it would really affect a drug screen. But, I know that when I was in monitoring, I would have been way to scared to risk it. I went through monitoring super paranoid though, so I may have been over the top.

They have done studies and you really have to basically be hot-boxing for it to show up in your pee. However, second hand smoke can be detected in hair testing which occasionally happens with these programs. I was also super paranoid and never did anything where I thought people might be smoking pot. Not worth the hassle.

I would not chance it.

I would just think of how much you will enjoy the concert after a period of not going.

The answer is yes, you can test positive for THC for second hand exposure. Skip the concert and go to a nice dinner.
