So at the end of January I'm almost certainly going to start some kind of probation, probably for a year or a little less. I got caught with some weed and a couple of opiates; long story short, what could have been a couple felonies are probably going to be several misdemeanors.

I'm getting a pretty good deal for several reasons, but for the purpose of my question what this means is that there's a high probability I'll be randomly or regularly drug tested throughout my probation.

My drug history: Over the past few years I've been a fairly regular smoker. For 3 years and up until 6 months ago I smoked marijuana daily (probably 3-4 bowls a day), and since then I've smoked significantly less (2-3 bowls a week). I stopped smoking altogether about 6 weeks ago. I'm fairly confident that I'm going to pass my test at the end of the month (assuming I get one at the beginning of my probation), but will probably buy a home testing kit in a week or so to make sure. I'm planning on not smoking at all until my time's up.

What concerns me greatly right now, is the possibility of THC released from fat cells. I'm 6'4" and weigh about 280 pounds at present. I put on 100 pounds about 2 years ago following a car accident, and due to chronic back pain have not been able to lose it yet. However, starting at about the same time as my probation I'll be starting physical therapy, and would also like to join the gym to get back in shape.

I've searched and found some discussion about how exercising affects metabolism and drug tests, but most questions seem concerned with passing tests after having very recently stopped smoking.

My question is, how worried should I be over the next year? Will more or less constant exercise put me in any danger of failing a test sometime this year? Do I have "reserves" of THC stored in my fat that could put me over the testing threshold as I burn that fat off?

Any insight or advice about this would be greatly appreciated. I hate the thought of keeping this weight on any longer, but violating probation could land me in jail for a year or more.

Thanks so much!

I wouldn't worry too much over this. For one, there is nothing you can do about it, and for two, I don't think it releases that much from your fat to put you over the cutoff limit or even near it if you aren't smoking.

If you pass the test at the end of the month, you should pass all of them throughout your probationary period provided you continue to abstain from smoking pot. (good choice, BTW)

Don't stress about it, I found myself in a similar situation about 4 months ago. However I have to be a good boy to make sure a felony doesn't go onto my record. As someone who is taking part in the DEJ in California I know a little about testing. I smoked pot for 10yrs...I am only 24 right now, and I had the same concerns...I thought it will take forever for the residual THC to get out of my system....but it doesn't I have been clean for a little over 4 months like I previously stated
and I was a heavy smoker...daily for a period of years, but total usage for 10years....it was out of my system by the first month. It all has to do with metabolism we are all unique.

I too would not worry about the release of THC from your fat stores causing you to fail a urine test. Just make sure you abstain completely from now until after your probation. There are way too many dumbasses on this site who play Russian roulette with their probation urine tests. You sound like someone with a bit more sense. Best of luck.
