Do not worry about the weed.. it will NOT show up on the test. This is because they are not sending off the results to test ur blood for the presence of THC. It also won't interfere with the results. Alcohol, howevercan affect the results.

The test won't show that you got drunk 2 weeks ago, but if you regularly get black out drunk on accutane, it may show up as your liver activity will change. However, most importantly, you are riskingso much. It's one hell of a drug and takes a huge toll on your entire body- there's a reason why they say not to drink whileon it. Ididdrink heavily several times while on accutane,fully knowing the risks, but I suffered from an agonising stomach ache the day after every time. The stomach ache was so bad one time that I decided not to drink until off the accutane; I don't know what caused it, but it felt like I was developing a stomach ulcer or otherwise seriously harming the lning of my stomach. You DON'T want to mess with accutane.

PS. Even though you're fine with the weed in terms of your parents not finding out, I would really advise against you smoking it at your age. Trust me, I understand the appeal and I've been there, but all I'lll say is that it's not the chill, "safe" drug that society makes it out to be for everyone, and you never know if you're gonna be the one whose brain "snaps" and is permanently altered. Someone close to me (and not someone who ever suffered from mental health issues) recently went borderline schizo/psychotic. It has been medically confirmed that smoking strong weed from 14-17 has totally messed her up. Smoking it at age 21-25 would probably nothave pushed her over the edge in the way that smoking it while her brain was underdeveloped clearly did. Just a thought! Good luck with the accutane
