Will Smoking Marijuana Effect My Test Result?
i smoke marijuana regularly, and i am on a fasting diet for some blood work today. i was told not to eat or drink anything but water for 12 hours. if i were to smoke marijuana now ( 4 hours before the test ) would it effect my results? (i am looking for an answer to my question, not a lecture on the effects of marijuana)

In all likelyhood no. It may cause a slight decrease in your blood PH due to hypoxia, but it would not affect your blood work to a point that a physician would miss a diagnosis, or start treating you for something that you do not have.
