There comes a point in every weed smokers life where you try to do the math and figure out how long weed stays in your system. This could have been back when you first smoked and were worried about your parents finding out, or it could be that you\u2019re figuring out how to pass a drug test for your job.. No matter how you got here, we can help you understand the misinformation on this topic, and put to bed a few common myths that I\u2019m sure you have read and heard.<\/p>\n

The length of time weed stays in your system varies person to person, but it ultimately depends on how often you smoke, how much you smoke, your metabolism, and how much THC is in the weed itself. Typically, the higher the dosage is and the more you smoke, the longer the weed can be detected in your system.<\/p>\n

Another important factor is the type of detection method you\u2019re using. In 2017, Mayo Clinic Proceedings<\/u><\/a> broke down exactly how weed shows up in urine tests, depending on how long it had been since the subject last smoked. Their research showed it took 3 days for cannabis to leave the system in \u2018occasional users\u2019, 5-7 days in \u2018moderate users,\u2019 10-15 days in \u2018chronic users,\u2019 and more than 30 days in \u2018chronic heavy users.\u2019 <\/p>\n

For detection tests that focus on hair<\/a>, users have been found to test positive for cannabis after 7 days of usage, and for as long as 90 days. Detection tests that focus on hair<\/a> are more rare, and saliva tests are also very rare. Most detection methods these days are urine tests that can be done at a doctors office, or even purchased at a pharmacy for an at home option. <\/p>\n

We all smoke different amounts at different times, and have different metabolisms. I don\u2019t smoke as much as my brother or my friends, so it\u2019s going to be in my body for a different amount of time. Don\u2019t let the internet convince you otherwise. Merry Jane got your back.<\/p>\n
