How long does half a joint of marijuana stay in your system?

Question

I haven't smoked pot since 2001 and I smoked half a joint with a few friends 17 days ago. It didn't do much at all. Worthless. I just took a random urinalysis for my job. I have a fast metabolism and I'm weighing in at 184 lbs. I'm in great shape as well. Should I worry I popped positive?

Answer 1

You should be ok.

Answer 2

How long it stays in your system depends on a lot of factors including how your body processes things, the amount smoked, the amount of THC in the weed, etc. Don't listen to the people with stock answers. Since a lot of these people get their info from health class you can bet they are exaggerated a little to try and dissuade kids from trying weed.

Since you smoked so little, and more than 2 weeks have passed, I think you have a good chance of passing. Still, you hadn't smoked since 2001 then had half a joint before getting tested?? That really sucks...

Answer 3

Half Joint

Answer 4

As it happens, urinalysis is particularly sensitive to marijuana, a single use of which can register positive for as long as a week, long after any effects have vanished; heavy users may register positive for as long as 4-6 weeks. Thus, urinalysis precludes even the most innocent, weekend smoking of marijuana as "drug abuse." Ironically, urinalysis is considerably more tolerant of harder drugs such as cocaine and heroin, which generally wash out in 2-3 days at most. Other commonly used psychoactive drugs, including nicotine, tranquilizers, and psychedelic drugs such as LSD are generally not tested for.

Answer 5

1/2 a stick could be in your body for a month, or it could be gone in 72hrs. Depends on the quality of the weed. If you live in Northern California I would start looking for another job today. If you smoked some home grown from Bixby, Oklahoma then just forget about it. Seriously folks, for those of you who get tested randomly? Why bother. Jager is legal and just as relaxing.

Answer 6

Depends on - How much and how often taken Body weight Individual metabolism Sensitivity of testing used Body fluid/tissue used A single tok of cannabis may disappear in a few days. If you are worried start drinking lots of water and do some exercise that will make you sweat a lot.

Answer 7

it all depends on how big you are and your matabilism.. like i only weigh 110 and have no body fat so the longest it will stay in my system is for 2 weeks so the bigger you are the longer it will stay in your system also what works for me to get marijuanna out of my system is i take multi vitamin pills and cranberry pills...but if your doing it for your job (lets say you came back positive) i dont think they would trip that bad unless they were really strict... cause after all its only marijuana.. it could be worse

Answer 8

I would be concerned. If you sweat at all 17 days is a long time for .4 of a gram. It's when you smoke often that you need to be worried.

Answer 9

If smoked all at one time, a couple of days. Multiple days....could stay in your system for up to a month or more.

Answer 10

Generally the rule is 30 days.

First off everyone is different....

THC is stored in your fat cells, which is why it takes to long to get out.

If it was just once it shouldn't be a problem. Don't smoke anymore and you will probably be ok.

Answer 11

Um, I think you are busted.....

Just know that they usually give you a second chance and will give you another test. STOP SMOKING NOW to prepare.

Too bad you didn't ask me sooner, I would have told you to get a friend to pee in a vial and take it into the test with you......
