Donating plasma is easy money!

I make $21.66 an hour for donating plasma!
The plama clinic in my area pays you $65 for donating plasma twice a week, $20 the first time and $45 the second, and it takes about 1.5 hours to donate.
So for laying in a bed and listening to my ipod for 3 hours I get paid $65! Easy money!

There is plasma in your blood, they separate it from your red blood cells and use it for some sort of medicine for people with hemophilia.

Don't you need to be completely drug free to donate? I would like to but I have THC and opiates in my system from codeine.

At my plasma center, Biolife, you definitely do not have to be drug free. The only thing that would get you turned down is if your health stats were off (i.e. pulse rate too high, blood pressure too low...)
Easy money... and they tell me i'm "saving lives"! ha!
Also, they separate your white-blood cells (plasma) from your blood, then pump the blood back in. In the end, they pump a little bit of Saline to help with dehydration and lack of plasma.
Edit - haha, not to mention, I live in a college town and it's a great place to meet women

Yeah, I go to Biolife too.
You don't need to be drug free to donate, they say the only drugs that you can't do are opiates, but they still don't even drug test you. During my physcial they asked me if I do any drugs, I told them that I smoke pot and they told me that's fine I just can't come in and donate under the influence.

I have gone in there completely opiated before. The trick is to eat your narcotics RIGHT before you go in, if you plan on getting opiated that day. (Otherwise your blood-pressure might be too-low)
I used to be able to go in there absolutely STONED, but i started to have some social anxiety and my pulse rate would be too high.

You dont not need to be drug free because they extract your plasma from the rest of your blood.
However they do a physical your first time.

Blood plasma is the liquid component of your blood. It's mostly just water with some other goodies in there.

Drug free? That is funny. If you actually go to one of these places you will see all the homeless junkies in there getting their money for their next fix.

They used to hand out cash right there, but that became too large a responsibility i guess. So, now they issue you this VISA debit card that they load the money onto. This normally isn't a problem besides having to drive to the specific bank ATM that the card is from, so you don't incur any charges.
oh... sometimes it sucks because the Chase ATM only lets you withdraw in $20s.

This is most definitely the case where I go. The only reason I stopped donating is because it became such a hassle to wait two hours before I could donate.
