Steam?

[HyeLife]

A quick idea,

I'm only on probation for like another week and a half, but I had this idea last night talking to a friend of mine:

If you knew you had a few days, and hadn't smoked in a long time (like me: 1.5 years), then if you smoked and then took 30-45 minutes in a sauna, worked out every day and stayed away from fatty foods, wouldn't the metabolites not be able to bind with your fat cells as well? Especially if you added a lot of fluids and no further exposure to weed.

It's a theory based on what I've read about how weed is stored in your body and the variables that affect how long it stays there. It seems to rely more on your body's condition and how you treat it than drinking water.

I dunno, maybe I'm crazy? :D

Oh I'm not doing it...but I'm thinking out loud, so to speak. :)

[donteventrip]

it all depends on how much u smoke, what is ur body fat percent and how much u drink and workout..

for a example. i smoked a 8th in 4 days and within 1 week i passed a at-home drug test. but i have little to none body fat and workout 12-15 times a week.

but i would suggest just waiting the week and a half..temping yes..but not worth it

Yeah, now the theory rested upon me not having smoked for a year and a half, smoking a few bowls, then not smoking again for what would be about 2 weeks.

I dunno what my BFI is exactly, but I'm like an average dude. Not overweight, but I could probably stand to lose a few. I'm 6'1" and about 270-275. I doubt that I could drop positive if including niacin and b vitamins, good diet, working out and that lovely sauna...but I'll just wait it out.

What's another week or two after this long, right?

right !

2 weeks is nothing. just wait the 2 then blaze it up :smokin:

The sauna doesn't help. Though it sure feels nice. It only makes you sweat not burn fat cells. A big difference.

Niacin and the other B-vitamins don't mask, they only make your piss yellow so as to mask diluted appearing urine.

Looking at my prior post, I see that it can be misleading. The B-vitamins (niacin is a B vitamin) put color back in your urine. They only mask appearance, not the presence of metabolites.

Right, You come too far to blow it now!!!

Hyelife, yes please do check out the link Rebgirl enclosed. I think I covered every reason why someone may think a sauna might help when it really isn't doing much at all. I consider a steam sauna a steam room but pretty much what I said for the dry sauna would apply. The body has preferred methods of eliminating metabolites and sweating just isn't one of the preferred methods of eliminating THC metabolites. So increasing how much you sweat really isn't going to make a huge difference. Also, there really isn't a way to prevent the THC metabolites from binding to fat cells through saunas. The low fat diet is helpful but not in the way of preventing the metabolites from even having a chance to bind as well as the aerobic exercise. THC metabolites have such a high affinity for fat it's hard to prevent the inevitable. In most cases aerobic exercise and a good diet can help decrease the THC half life of most people but it can't make that half-life 4 hours or less (it can range from 0.8 days to 10 days). You would be better off with the aerobic exercise and a bottle of soluble fiber instead of the sauna.

Hmm, I've got a friend who is almost done with his long stint in probation and he blazed. He just told me he's got like 9 days before his next potential text...I might tell him to start running on the treadmill and taking some fiber!

FBR, I appreciate the feedback. I did check that link, and it filled in a lot of blanks for me. Lets just say I've got a quarter of some fantastic shit that's waiting for me on December 3rd...so the wait will be well worth it.

I could see it workin. but im not sure i would trust myself to it. id rather just drop some bleach drops in my urine sample. good as new.
