No. However, collection staff will treat marijuana use by a potential donor the same way as alcohol; If staff can smell marijuana or ETOH, the donor will be temporarily deferred. This has nothing to do with the drug or ETOH being present in the blood product; the small amount will have no effect on the recipient. Rather, the intoxicants, along with the volume and red cell loss, increase the risk of post donation reactions, such as dizziness, fainting, nausea, vomiting and/or (rarely) seizure activity.

∙ 9y agoActual, that's wrong! Marijuana is NOT on the list of drugs the FDA/CDC requires asked. It IS a legal prescription is several states, and those who take it that way are NOT barred from donating blood. There are very few drugs, legal or not, on the list that defers a donor. METHOD of administration is more important (i.e. sharing needles, injecting ANYTHING not prescribed or administered by a medical professional, etc.)
However, DO NOT show up to donate high! Seriously, you need to be sober and not on anything not medically necessary for survival when you give blood. For your sake and the recipient. And remember, you're down 10% of your blood...your tolerance afterwards will be LOW! And hydrate before and after, you'll thank me.
All blood collection facilities would treat marijuana use the same as alcohol: If donor staff can detect the smell of marijuana or alcohol, the person would not be allowed to donate at that time. This has nothing to do with intoxicants in the blood component; the amount present would have no effect on the patient. The alcohol or THC could, when combined with the loss of fluid volume and red cell mass, increase the risk of post-donation reactions such as dizziness, fainting, nausea, etc.

∙ 14y agoYes. Marijuana goes into your body and goes to your heart and brain. It is then pumped through your body and blood vessels and veins. Marijuana affects EVERYTHING in your body.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes. I don't think they even ask you about it. At least, nobody asked me when I gave blood.
Wiki User
