I tried to give blood in germany about 2 years back
and they said I couldn't since I had lived in the UK between 1981 and 1995, and probably was chock-full of BSE. Even germans who lived in britain for more than 6 months prior to 1995 are not allowed to give blood.

I once gave blood high when I was a student... and then realised what I had done a few hours later.

"Mr Hammond, you've lost a lot of blood, we shall have to give you a transfusion"
Later...
"Actually, transfusions are quite nice. Do you have any crisps?"

haha
Much as I'd like to think the drug squad screen the bags in the give blood van for traces of thc, I think you're safe.
Although, I didn't give blood for similar reasons when I was a student. One was supposed to be completely sober for three days prior to it apparently... or so I heard, so I didn't go when the van was there. Then came my stoner years when I forgot about anything that wasn't playstation, food, or weed related.

*rozzers turn up a door with plastic bag full of red liquid*
is this YOUR blood sir?
... I was fooled into it - I was walking through one of the halls and sat down at a table full of cups of tea and tunncok's tea cakes, next think I know I've got a drip in my arm and a pretty nurse is telling me I have beautiful veins... it was all I could do not to make a very dirty joke. My head nearly burst from having to hold it in.
