Your doctor may be good, but again it is labs and lab techs that test blood. They also have mandatory minimum amounts of blood that must be collected for each type of test. Please do not try to argue this to me. I have had more needles in me and blood drawn than you have had cock inside of you. From run of the mill hospitals to major university hospitals and ubber specialists doing it, and having to get redraws because they did not have enough blood to run all of the panels.
Of course they can check for STD's if you ask, but no they do not just randomly check for shit because they can. Then as I said nobody just runs a test everything blood test - that goes into the hundreds of possible tests. Since this is also not a drug test they would just as likely test to see if he was pregnant, or has arsenic in his system as they would for THC.

But thanks all. I will make sure i drink vinegar and water just to be safe. I don't mind vinegar to be honest. I like cranberry juice as well, so I will have to pick some up.
I'll take the majority here and believe that they don't test for THC in a routine blood test.

Drinking vinegar, water, etc. Really is not going to change your blood that much. Well if you drink tons of water to change the level of electrolytes in your blood you could - also could be harmful and fuck with normal tests. Juices would just adjust blood sugar at most.
They want to see why he is sluggish and tired. They will be testing for anemia, iron, b-12, and a few other deficiencies at most along side a standard workup (CBC) that just shows the very damn basics. Such as white blood cell count (plus differential count), red blood cell count (plus distribution width), hemoglobin, platelet count (plus mean count/volume), hematocrit, and possibly MCV, MCH, and MCHC.
