Forgiving me for wondering, but.....
Let's say a foreigner spends their summer vacation in some place with looser drug enforcement than Korea, like Thailand or Laos, and ends up ingesting these illicit drugs like Marijuana. He goes back home and the Korea's hysteria over Swine Flu is still in effect. Let's say he get's tested for Swine Flu. Does that test also bring up drugs? I'm thinking "No", because as I understand it they take a mucus sample, not a blood sample. But I'm not exactly sure. Let's say I want to know what to tell co-workers and friends.

From the looks of your thread, you are still suffering from drug induced parties.

I do not believe they would be able to find much of anything in your mucous. unless you've been doing the drugs up your nose and in the last couple of hours.

If they take blood from you, they would be able to test for drugs. It is obviously a completely different test and it's done done by a different type of lab, toxicology rather than virology.

So theoretically its possible, if they are so motivated to spend time and money on processing and transporting your sample on the off chance that you might have used drugs recently.

I say this: It's, like, super unlikely
