New to the forum:) A question...

[eyerishchik]

Hello fellow blazers. Got a question...hopefully you won't want to kill me 'cause I'm sure it's been asked a dozen times, but....


I'm 5'2" and about 145lbs. In the last six months I have been extremely physically active. I exercise 5 days a week....1 hour of cardio (I do between 5 to 5-1/2 miles a day between the elliptical and treadmill) and about an hour of weight training. I also happen to like to smoke . I have smoked almost everyday for over a year. Bad...I know, but whatever. I plan to cut down my smoking so it's not every day. I usually only smoke once a day.

The point of my post is that I have been staying home with my son for many months and now I need to go back to work, which means the chance of getting piss tested. I plan to quit completely for a month ( ) and I have done my research on what works and what doesn't to clean it out of your system. I'm just wondering how long it will probably take with my body. I drink lots of water and I'm pretty muscular now that I work out so much. I have a few extra pounds I don't like (who doesn't), but overall I'd say I'm damn close to physically fit. I know I've read that people who are physically active burn more of the THC out of their fat and into the blood, then it eventually gets pissed out. Does anyone have even a slight idea of how long, in my current condition, it might take to get it all out?? Or at least enough to pass a piss test?? I need to be back to work within the next month and I'm kinda paranoid. My luck will be that I'll get a job that doesn't bother testing me and I'll have done all this shit for nothing , but just in case... .

Welcome to Marijuana.com!

We could guess, but if we guess wrong you could be out of a good job opportunity. The average daily smoker takes a month to be clean enough to pass a UA.

The only way to know when you're clean enough to pass a test is to test yourself at home. You can get THC tests at drugstores for $15 - $20 each. You can get them in batches of 10 from sellers on eBay for $2 each. If you pass a home test with the first part of the first pee of the day, you're home free.

If not, try a dilution protocol and test again. If you can't pass with a dilution technique you'll have to go to substitution.

Substitution techniques always work, but take some practice and can't be used in a closely observed test.

Thanks. I'm sorry if I seem to have annoyed a couple people here. Don't know what that's all about. I have never been to this site or even this discussion forum before today, so if something I said bugged someone please let me know. Sorry...

[nerphroll]

Don't worry, you're cool.
My post in particular was not directed at you, but at the post that came before mine by Budiz. Mama subsequently deleted it.
Welcome.

Sorry if you thought I was annoyed at you. I should have been more specific I guess. I meant about the going thru all of the crap that goes with getting a job and then not being tested.

What will make the most difference in determining the time needed to clean out is when you last smoked. If you stop completely now, it will take you a LOT less time to clean out than if you cut back from one joint per day and continue to smoke say... only 1 hit per day. Also, as Buzzby said, testing yourself after 2 weeks abstinance using your first pee of the day will give you an accurate indication of where your body is at regarding your THC retention. If you still test positive, give it another 5-7 days and home test again. If you are still testing positive after that, then you should consider either substitution or dilution depending on your time frame and you past usage.

If you smoked several bowls a day, for example, it might take you up to 40+ days to get clean. If you only smoked 1 bowl a day, it might take you less time. There are a lot of variables, and the only way to eliminate the guesswork is to test yourself at incrimental stages of your abstinance.

Your body type and activity level certainly have helped. Good luck with the job hunt.
