| Weed is the most usually used and tested for drug in the USA and several other countries. Depending on the amount of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) marijuana contains, it can differently impact on the user.
When you ask the question "How much time does weed remain in the system?", you need to take into account the fact that there is no simple answer to this question. THC can stay in your body for as long as 3-90 days after administration. There are a great many criteria determining for how much time drug toxins stay in the system: for example, your health, your body weight, metabolism, the type of drug, the level of exposure to the drug toxin, and so on.
The speed at which weed leaves your body is dependent both upon the speed of your metabolism as well as on the half-life of THC. It's estimated that THC can have a half life that ranges from 1-10 days. It is impossible to find out what that half life is, which means that it is very hard to use it to calculate how much time it will take for all of the THC to leave your body.
The type of test run can also have an influence upon if or not marijuana is detected. While urine tests are the most common, they are also the least reliable. Weed can still be detected in a urine test up to a month after the last administration. If you smoke it from time to time, it will remain in your body for up to 10 days. If you smoke pot regularly, it will remain in your system for as long as 45 days, and if you smoke pot constantly, it can stay in the body for as long as 90 days.
Blood sample are a lot more accurate, though more pricey. Since THC is accumulated in the fat cells of the brain, the liver, the kidneys, the chemical is slowly released into the blood flow, where it finally passes through the liver, and then leaves the system.
Hair drug tests are the most reliable, since hair contains a record of everything your body has been through while that hair was growing. Nonetheless, testing of hair is very expensive and rarely done by employers. |
