Blood from paid donors cannot be used in the United States for transfusion purposes. This is an FDA regulation, studies show that volunteer donors provide a safer blood supply. Plasma is the only component for which donors are sometimes paid, and it is taken by the apheresis method. Plasma can be treated for safety in ways that blood cells cannot. Plasma taken from paid donors is generally treated and processed by pharmaceutical companies into drugs. It cannot be transfused in the form of cryoprecipitate or fresh frozen plasma.

Donating plasma only removes a small portion of your total plasma. In Canada a plasma donation is ~450mL and your body has anywhere from 6 to 8 liters of blood at any given time. You will lower the concentration of the THC in your system but not by a significant amount.
Donating plasma does not clean your system of weed. THC, the active ingredient in weed, is stored in fat cells and can be detected in your system for weeks to months after use. Plasma donation will not affect THC levels in your body.
