Maria330 1 Posted February 1, 2017 I'm from Columbus, Ohio with Molina healthcare Ins. I took my alcohol/nicotine/drug test last week, I quit smoking marijuana 2 months ago, and my test came back positive for marijuana. I am around others that smoke marijuana. How long does it normally take to get out your system? Any feedback would be appreciated. I'm so bummed. My ins. coordinator called me and said it needs to be negative and put another order in. Last thing on my list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissKay 329 Posted February 1, 2017 It typically takes 30 days but depends on how heavily you used. Second hand contact can also cause the positive reading especially if you're around it a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JupiterinVirgo 846 Posted February 2, 2017 What are ridiculous requirement. Insurance companies have a lot of nerve. There are many states in which it is perfectly legal to smoke marijuana, and quite frankly in my humble opinion outlawing the existence of an herb is by itself insanity. Using this to prevent people with real health issues from addressing them borders on criminal by itself. Sorry you're going through this. Move to California!

Jessi Morgan 1 Posted February 5, 2017 This is a requirement? I don't believe I have to do this (at least I hope I don't!). I already submitted everything to insurance on Friday, but I never did a urine test for anything. Now you have me a little worried. Does everyone have this requirement???

Raylee77 6 Posted February 5, 2017 I work at a drug testing facility it can take 90 days and being around it won't cause you to be positive even if you get a contact buzz Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maria330 1 Posted February 5, 2017 I would have quit smoking a lot sooner if I would have known it was a requirement. I was never told, they just kept pushing stop smoking cigarettes which I did in the beginning. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
