This has probably been addressed before and if so, I apologize for not finding it. I do not understand how THC is stored in the body. I always thought it was stored in the fat cells, but I might be wrong. I am unclear on how THC can be found in urine for at least 30 days yet you can start to produce clean blood and by that case clean hair in 4-5 days after abstaining/quitting. If it is still in your body 30 days later (as shown in urine testing) why is your blood and newly grown hair clean? I am definitely not trying to refute the detection times listed on this site, I am just trying to understand the science behind it...

I hope this makes sense...

Thanks...

I had this discussion with some one recently. Read this thread.

Also, as far as why it is detectable longer in urine think about this. Your kidneys filter the blood so there is THC present in the blood if your urine is dirty because how else did the THC metabolites get to the kidneys. But that is the point, the kidneys are filtering the blood, "capturing" them and "reconcentrating" it in the urine. Rough terms but I hope you get the picture.

thanks Boobs, I think I get it now. This does lead me to another question... If it is stored in the fat cells and being constantly released into my blood to be filtered, wouldn't my blood constantly be infused with THC from the fat cells I am hopefully burning when I work out???

As I stated in an earlier post, I am going to pass the test the best way I know how, which is to stay sober for 3 weeks cut my hai almopst all the way off and let it grow back and stay sober the whole time. I am really asking this question now because I want to understand.... ( I have always wanted to know the why's and how's of things)...

Thanks....

I am not sure where you are going with that. Is that concerning the urine or hair test? As long as you have a detectable level in your urine, it would stand to reason you have some in your blood, it is just the blood levels may be undetectable. Or are you trying to ask about the exercise? Are you worried that as you exercise you are being counterproductive?

Yep, I was worried I was being counter-productive...

I don't think the exercise is going to be counterproductive to hair testing. If it is urine testing, most of us recommend stopping the exercise 3-5 days before the test.
