We have already discussed how to smoke weed and the various cannabis products available. However, it is essential to remember that just because you’re not currently smoking weed doesn’t mean that the weed is out of your system.
So how long can you expect THC to stick around? It varies from hours to months depending on six different variables, which we’ll explore in-depth below.
How often you get high is one of the biggest influences on how long weed stays in your system. For example, a first-time smoker may have no remaining traces of marijuana in their body after three days, whereas someone who smokes every day may have THC in their body for 30-45 days. So for those who smoke 3-4 times a week, expect to have weed remain in your system for about a week.
The potency of your stash is going to determine how much THC it contains. The greater the amount of THC in your weed, the more prolonged traces of THC will show up in your body after smoking.
How much you smoke is going to determine how much THC gets into your system. If you’ve only taken a few hits, there’s a lot less THC in your system than if you’ve smoked a joint to your head. How long does weed stay in your system if you’ve only consumed a small amount? This depends on the method of consumption.
How you consume cannabis affects the way your body processes it. When you eat edibles, your gastrointestinal system has to process the edible before your body can access the THC. The THC is then absorbed into the bloodstream and remains in the body for a prolonged period. Vaping or smoking a joint gets the THC into your system quickly and leaves the body much quicker.
Cannabis affects everyone differently. The way cannabis affects you will be influenced by your metabolism and body size. Because cannabis is fat-soluble, those with a higher body fat content often find that they are more susceptible to the effects of cannabis.
So how long does cannabis stay in your system? Different drug tests use different methods to detect THC in your system. Therefore, you may be able to pass one type of test but not another. For instance, while you may pass a urine test after 30 days, you could still fail a hair test for up to 90 days.
No, the rate THC leaves your body depends on the six variables we covered. Nothing you do will speed the process. There are no proven, safe ways to get THC out of your body any quicker than as outlined above.
