Vietnam Health Check - Drugs?

    Hey all,
I'm anticipating to be potentially frowned upon for this post but I have a question re the health checkup.
What does this entail and does it test for drugs/THC? I hadn't even thought prior to today and I've fell into a mass panic - I've been smoking quite a bit with my friends over the Christmas/new year period. I arrive in Hanoi in the next few days and my health checkup is pretty soon after arrival.
What do they test for in Vietnam, and how certain are you that it is/isn't a drugs test? Thank you in advance.

Thanks man, the general consensus that ive read is they don't test for drugs. If THC isn't out of the system within 30 days, i will be set to fail if a drugs screening is involved.

i'll make a point to inform of the outcome on this thread for future references for people.

I'm betting you'll be okay.

Your reporting back to forum would be of great assistance to other members (and casual readers of the forum, alike) who find themselves in similar circumstances. We'd very much appreciate it.

When I got my health check done for the drivers license there was another guy there from Germany or something and he failed the test because of THC in his system. His agent was pretty disappointed but he told him to come back in a week to retest. They didnt make a big deal out of it but they did fail that part of the test.
