Q: Crack Smoke, Skin, Absorb

asked by: cp on January 30th, 2005

My girlfriend is a frequent crack smoker. I have never used any drugs at all in my life. Recently I failed a urine test showing positive for cocaine. I was wondering if it was possible for the smoke on the furniture (bed, couch )from her using crack in the house to be absorbed into my skin making me fail a drug test.
If so, where can I get more info on such hazards?
Thanks

My opinion is yes, it does get into your system, furniture, clothing, you can get busted for it if it is in your house. Be a true friend, try to get her some help(i know that it is easier said than done). If she does not want to quit for you or herself then in my opinion, it is not much of a relationship. Drugs are hard to get off of but it can be done.
Sincerely,
sandy
