Nor am I a scientist, but it is usually thought
with plenty of fluids and total abstinence, 11
days most usually  takes care of it.

It is possible for tests to detect THC up to 30 days after last usage, depending on many factors.

THC can now be detected in hair shafts and remains in those shafts permanently. If you shave bald and smoke afterwards, THC will be detectable in your hair even if it grows to reach your ankles. Sorry about the bad news.

14-30 days depending on your metabolism. THC stores in your body fat so try burning some.

Hello-

I hail from Michigan, USA (About a half hour from detroit- Good herb in the area).  I'd like to just add my 2 cents into this forum...

I have an interview today for Wal-mart, great establisment LoL! and I stopped smoking exactly 7 days from today; I started drinking 3 bottles of water per day about 3 days after I quit.

I picked up a home drug test kit from local pharmacy about an hour ago (O.k I stole it who wants to pay 30$ for the poS) and I tested Negative for THC.  I couldn't believe this was possible. But if you're similar to me it is.  I'm 140 lbs/5'7" and I have a small frame and one hell of a metabolism, because I don't gain weight too easily.

So this is some re-assurance for the people out there that are like me that stress over this kind of thing, it can be done. Of course, Home Drugs Tests are not as precise as a big corporations, but i disagree with the statement saying, "It takes 30-60 days" or what have you.

Thanks

I basically agree with everyone else on this sight because I spent 4 years in the US Army and got tested every two months and I passed all of them just by chugging tons of water but I am a very skinny guy with a high metabolism.

Here is some more good news:  If they were to test everyones hair, NOBODY would pass the test and that is why they don't do it.  Just drink fluids and you will be fine if you have a high metabolism.

I am 25, 90lbs (very skinny), and a daily smoker.  I haven't smoked anything since July 23rd.  I've been drinking about 5 (24oz) bottles of water a day, cranberry juice (1 gallon), and green tea (3 cups).  I have lost 5lbs, and am now at 85lbs.  I have a drug screen coming up in the next week or two.  What are my chances of passing?

General Rules of Thumb

1.Abstinence is always best if you know a test is coming.

2.Never give the first urine of the day. Its the most concentrated due to overnight storage in your bladder.

3. Definitely drink lots of fluids, drink until you pass clear urine not matter what product you take or if your going to test without any chemical/ herbal assistance.

4. Substitution of urine with someone you know is clean is the best way if your not sure what to do. Beware of the temperature of the urine. Most testing facilities slap a sticker thermometer on the cup after you hand it to them. 96 degree's is about the range they are looking for so stash your sample under your arm pit or groin area. Be smart slap a temp sticker on your sample stash to be sure. Those are your hottest areas of your body and easiest to conceal your sample.

5. Beware of Online companies making promises. They want to sell you a product more than they want to help you. Some of these products work, just be careful who you buy them from. Look for detailed medical information on THC or other drugs and their body fat shelf life at the site. Personally I stay away from sites with Big Pot Leafs on them and few details.

6. Body Fat, activity level, duration and amount of use all are contributing factors to how long before you are clean. Fat boys take longer to clean up than skinny folks.

I'm a RN, ex military so I'm accustomed to urine testing. Hope this helps guys.

Hello.

What if this person has been smoking almost daily for the last few months... how long would it take for the THC to not show up in urine tests? [He's applying for a Canadian visa, if it helps] He's a little fat...don't know about the metabolism.

Thanks

I'm a U.S. citizen, but this should apply to all free people.

Privacy!!! Its none of your business what I smoke. Everyone should begin acting out against the invasions by our government and our employers. It does not matter if you are guilty or not.

When RadioShack ask you for your zip code when you by batteries for your Walkman kindly refuse. Some day, god forbid, citizens of this nation might have to defend it against a tyrannical government. Our actions today, by allowing the slow decay of freedoms to occur, can completely handcuff generations in the future to protect and defend themselves.

When you leave a store after purchasing goods verbal reject or at least appeal the researching of your bags. Have you not already paid for them? Therefore are they not private property belonging to you? Stores sometimes suggest "if you where to drop your milk in the parking lot we would replace it for free" implying that the property is not actually yours until you leave the premises. Thanks you for your concern and I would gladly come back and do all my business with you for replacing my errant dropped milk, but don't chip away at my rights!!!

I think the last time I chopped down a tree, I chipped away at it with an axe until it was just to weak to support itself. As you can imagine with each swing of the axe I cut out a small piece of wood that was irreplaceable.

NOTICE THE SMALL CHIPS THAT ARE BEING CUT OUT OF OR RIGHTS.

Soon with the help of technology every fact about everything can be recorded and stored and then analyzed over unheard of time frames. We must keep our rights intact to ensure the checks and balances of mankind preserve us throughout time.

you guys are all retards...

listen

thc stores in your body fat.. making fluids impossible to access it.. drinking water does nothing... its all on your metabolism and how much you way and all that..

all you fat ass potheads.. haha.. good luck passing the test... but a good way to get it out of your system is to sit in a sauna till your just dripping in sweat.. then swim to wash all the sweat out of it.. if you cant get to a sauna.. go to a rec center... or somewhere where you can just run and work out.... anything that makes you sweat is good.. the only thing that waters gonna help you with is sweat... so drink tons of water... work out/ sit in the sauna... then swim to get it all off you and out of you


your welcome

THC varies for different people. I know that exercising, drinking at the minimum of 1 gallon of water a day and taking supplements such as goldenseal can really speed up the process but this is the program i used to help get cleaned for the marines and it worked. You can by goldenseal at wal mart its like 4 dollars and it doesnt matter wat kind. But this program can help anyone get clean in no sooner or later than 30 DAYS. And if your body fat percentage is over 30% try to eat healthy AND WHATEVER YOU DO DONT LISTEN TO THE DUMBASS THAT SAID DRINK BLEACH IT WILL EAT YOUR INSIDES AWAY!!!

I am an avid smoker and I have plenty of friends who will vouch that if you drink about 3-4 20oz. bottles of water per day and give yourself about two weeks of no smoke you can pass a urine test easily. High metabolism or not. The key is to avoid fatty food since THC is stored in fatty tissue and make yourself pee as much as possible. If you have to clean up faster than that go to your local head shop and get a de-toxer and they will clean you up in a matter of hours.

I hear coffee helps the cleansing process but that may only be a myth. It sure helps you pee a lot. I camped out at waffle house a couple of days before my drug test and also drank lots of water at home, making sure my urine was relatively clear. I had smoked about a month beforehand and I passed. 6' 180 lbs

Someone mentioned exercising to release stored THC in fat cells, but is this wise during the few days right before the test?

On a side note, don't eat anything with poppy seeds, you'll test positive for opiates. That one's not a myth.

I just had a drug test for walmart a few hours ago. Im not excatly skinny, and i dont think i have a fast metabolism. Well, I haven't smoked since March 7th and 8th, but it was really good pot, and large amounts, i mean it was killer. I got drunk that weekend, thinking it would flush my system a little, and like two weeks ago i took about 12 niacin. Ive been drinking a lot, not gallons of stuff, just my usual drinking pattern ( which is a lot).
Think i passed it?

if you smoke bombass buds containing high amounts of THC as in kush, or canabis club buts out here in california it will take atleast 10days i dont care if your pee-wee herman or Oprah Winfrey. but if you smoke on a consistant regular basis like i used to and your thc level is above 300 (120 is considered maximimum at most standard labs) so yeas obviously i smoked alot, 3riple the amount, then it will take 45 days if you are exercising and not just sitting around on your fat ass. Otherwise it could take upwards of 60+ days. GOODluck drink lots of water and cranberry juice! and hit the tredmill yo
