A good number of my friends have given plasma. You have to get a physical the first time you go in and pass certain tests but in all honesty you don't have to be in that great of shape...just don't get high before you go in. You can do it two times a week and it's not very much like donating blood, really. Here you get paid around $40 each time you do it, so it can turn into good money. Personally I would never do it as my parents have said if I start selling my blood they'd just let me do it all the time and pay for my bills that way....hence I'm not selling it. The first time you go in, it is a long process...here it's 4 hrs, but after that it is significantly shorter though I'm not sure how long. They do pump the blood back into you, but I hear that's the best part when you feel the slightly cooler blood in your veins...it supposedly feels neat.
and it's not very painful
