When you do a regular blood test in the HMO, do they check for THC?

If I request a blood test, because I’m vegan and I want to check that everything is alright and that I’m not lacking of anything- would they check for THC? And if they find it in my blood would they say anything about it? Could they involve the police?

      Vegan diet can lead to anemia, which in turn can lead to other health problems. Therefore they will do a normal FBC Full Blood Count and see if everything is within guidelines or not. If all is normal keep on going. If it is not normal, then they will refine the tests, so can state you are anemic due to lack or iron or lack of B12, or lack of folic acid. Good Luck
