Question for any experts on weed...

Post by Milkgoat »

I was drunk and smoked some like a dumbass (only 2 hits though), and now my dad is on my ass to find a job.

So what I need to know is how long does it truly take to get out of your system, and what are some good tricks to get it out fast? Also, I heard that if you don't smoke often, it leaves your system faster, and the last time I smoked before this was November. Is there any truth to this?

why do you need it out of your system to find a job....is drug testing part of the interview process?

after a week it cannot be detected in a piss test

and no....frequency of use has nothing to do with how fast your body cleans it out of your system

yes

how long it take depends on how long and and how much you've been building it up.

2 hits takes about 1 week, but give it 2.

years worth may take months, especially if you have lots of fat.

Blame this shit on Rivers Cuomo. Ever since the remastered Blue Album hit, he's been on a song changing spree. I heard that it is especially bad with the Red Album.

Yeah, where I'm wanting to work has a mandatory drug test. Will drinking a lot of water, green tea, vinegar, pickle juice, etc actually help get it out faster?

2 hits in your whole life? It won't show up on a piss test the next day. It's stored in your fat cells, so it's kind of "deep" in your system. Can't comment on hair tests. If you are paranoid though, just drink a shitload of water.

If the test comes back positive, swear they've fucked up b/c you've 'never touched it' but have gone to concerts. By the time you retake the test it will definitely be out. I still think youre safe as a kitten.

Like GP said, it's stored in your fat cells, so the heavier your use, the longer it takes to get out of your system. If only smoke sporadically, and you only took two hits, you'll be fine in a week, ir not a few days.

Edit: Drinking lots of water doesn't get it out faster, but drinkihng a lot of water before the test will dilute any THC in the specimen, sometimes below the testing threshold. If it's too watery though, they might ask you to try back another day and not drink so much water.
Feedback will set you free.

I heard drinking 11 litres of water in an hour will surely eliminate every trace of THC in your system... 8)

You'd probably survive but have a serious case of the diarrhea.

Nope, you will die of hyper-hydration, as large amount of water will reverse the electrolyte cycle of your cells.

I think somebody recently died of that in a "hold your pee to win a Wii" contest.

losing your life for a wii console of all things - that's some sort of joke

(there was a more recent story of a woman who died from some crazy ass diet and she did drink 10 litres of water a day, i think that's what CIT might've been thinking of)

I have a different question: How serious are lung cancer risks for occasional use (just a bit 2-3 times a month)?

oooh since were on the subject I did a shit load of Ket, five lines of coke, A baggie of shrooms a couple of toads and lots of alcohol a couple of weeks back. I'm my own boss and there are no drug tests to speak of (at least that I know of) should I be worried? :P

Get a lot of exercise and drink a lot of water. Apart from that, you'll just have to wait.

Exactly. Vingar shots, and bottles of water will have your "2 hits" out in a days time.

The carcinogenic levels are the debated part. Some say high, some say none. Fox News Story. I'd say for occasional use, the benefits would far outweigh the handful of detriments. If you're worried about the lungs, there's always brownies.

Very interesting link, thanks. I know what you mean by the cost-benefit point. I think there are genuine benefits for some.

You're not going to get cancer if the only thing you smoke is weed and only 2-3 times a month. No way.

Almost all my jobs in America involved a drug screening. Most if it is due to the expenses the company will pay out if your claiming on health benefits. Health and safety is a major issue there as well.
