Dublin medical exam drug testing?

[anon12345 0]

Hey so I have a quick question...

My fiancé is a marijuana smoker and we were scared they might drug test him at the medical exam so we postponed it just over a month. Well the exam date is tomarow now!

Anyways my question is, last night my fiancé started to randomly smell weed in his room And felt a slight buzz feeling. His brother in the room over decided to smoke with some of his friends!!! So my fiancé opened his window and went for a walk, as soon as he realized what was going on! So here we are again having to post pone the exam.

I feel like he might be safe, from what I've read it doesn't seem like a lot of places do a drug test? But my fiancé feels it's better to postpone it again to be safe?

Has anyone here had the medical exam in Dublin recently know if they do a drug test?? Opinions on what we should do are welcomed to? Thanks

One will not test positive on a marijuana drug test from exposure to second hand smoke (brief exposure at that). I also have to say I have never heard of anyone feeling buzzed or high from smelling second hand smoke from another room. If your fiance did not smoke himself, then there was absolutely NO need to postpone a medical exam as he would not test positive on any drug test.

(Some info about second hand smoke and drug tests, one of many many sources that concur on the internet):

I don't know any specifics about the Dublin embassy, but the general MO is that they ask people if they are drug users or have used drugs in the past, and answering yes may trigger a drug test and a ban - depending on the level of use, the doctor doing the medical, the country it's happening in, and all sorts of factors. As at any point during the immigration process, you should not lie.

I wouldn't continue postponing the exam. The other issue is past use.

I done the medical in Dublin in September they took blood and asked for a urine sample which I'm sure was for a drug test.

Drug tests are urine or occasionally drug tests, so smelling it or being around it without using will not affect him.
