how long does pot stay in your system?

Question

been smoking for 15 years and want to pass a drug test.dont want to use any test kit thanks

Answer 1

It can stay in your system for months. Depending on things like how long you have smoked for, how often ect. THC is stored in the fat cells so I am presuming that body fat would be a factor aswell. Aparently 100% orange juice is good to cleans it from your body.

Answer 2

So the answer, according to the National Institute of Health, is about 6 days... So long as THC or metabolites are not being released from long term storage in other tissues in which it is inert... According to the same source it is, practically speaking, 13 days to 'terminal half-life': the point where it can no longer be detected at all.

What this means is that if you are well hydrated and fed for 6 days before you take this test, you should pass it, and no matter how sensitive a test, you should pass it in 13 days... If, on the other hand, you are burning fat, exercise heavily, do not eat regularly, sleep too late for breakfast, or generally do not drink your 8 glasses of water per day, you may not pass it - because what has been stored in other tissues may be released in the 6 days prior to your test...

So the real answer is maybe never, if you are plump, chronic dieter, or a person with irregular eating habits.

"After smoking, venous blood levels of THC fall precipitously within minutes, and an hour later they are about 5 to 10 percent of the peak level (Agurell et al. 1986; Huestis et al. 1992a, 1992b). Plasma clearance of THC is quite high, 950 milliliters per minute (mL/min) or greater; thus approximating hepatic blood flow. However, the rapid disappearance of THC from blood is largely due to redistribution to other tissues in the body rather than simply because of rapid cannabinoid metabolism (Agurell et al. 1984, 1986). Metabolism in most tissues is relatively slow or absent. Slow release of THC and other cannabinoids from tissues and subsequent metabolism makes for a very long elimination half-time. The terminal half-life of THC is estimated to be from about 20 hours to as long as 10 to 13 days, though reported estimates vary as expected with any slowly cleared substance and the use of assays with varied sensitivity.

Cannabinoid metabolism is extensive with at least 80 probably biologically inactive but not completely studied metabolites formed from THC alone (Agurell et al. 1986; Hollister 1988a). 11-hydroxy-THC is the primary active THC metabolite. Some inactive carboxy metabolites have terminal half-lives of 50 hours to 6 days or more and thus serve as long persistence markers of prior marijuana use by urine tests. Most of the absorbed THC dose is eliminated in feces and about 33 percent in urine. THC enters enterohepatic circulation and undergoes hydroxylation and oxidation to 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-THC (9-COOH-_9-THC). The glucuronide is excreted as the major urine metabolite along with about 18 nonconjugated metabolites. Frequent and infrequent marijuana users are similar in the way they metabolize THC (Agurell et al. 1986; Kelly and Jones 1992)."

Answer 3

It depends on the individual. Friends and myself have been able to quit for 10-14 days and not use chemicals with pretty good luck. The only down side is the 10-14 days!!! If you have the money buy the drink. Good Luck.

Answer 4

up to 2 days

Answer 5

I've always heard that pot is detectable for 30 days.

Answer 6

I've always heard a month but I'm not sure if that's reliable. I guess longer is better, although I know it's not pleasant.

Answer 7

?????? i don't take drugs how I'm suppose to know
