I am pondered about something. I have heard things regarding half lifes of THC but it gets tricky for me to understand. I'm trying to get educated here somehow from others who may be more knowledged.

When speaking of half lifes does that mean that the thc is generally low enough after just one half life that it isn't picked up on a DT? Or does one half life just bring the levels down low enough so that a full regiment of dilution can help pass the DT? OR...does it take a series of half lifes in order for dilution process to work? Better yet....is this one of them questions that is JUST AS hard to guess as the famous "Will I pass" question?

I may be elaborating as I get new insight from others. Thanks for helping a student in training......

Half life is determined on one's body metabolism. Half life can be anywhere from 1-10 days. Let take an example of a 5 day half life. For example you have 200ng of thc in your system. After 5 days you would have 100ng of thc in your system. After another 5 days you would have 50ng of thc in your system. After another 5 days you would have 20ng of thc in your system. After another 5 days you would have 10 ng of thc in your system. After another 5 days you would have 5ng of thc in your system. After another 5 day you would have 2.5ng of thc in your system. Hope this was helpful.

My math was a little off. at the 50ng after 5 days you would have 25ng of thc in your system, after another 5 days you would have 12.5ng of thc iin your system, after another 5 days you would have 6.25ng of thc in your system, after another 5 days you would have 3.125ng of thc in your system. Hope this was helpful.

Yeah, half life is a term that can be used for almost all substances and does not relate to the amount of time necessary to get clean. Some of the most common you may hear are carbon-13, uranium, and just about any drug. The explanation given above is a good general way to think about it. Also, a little research on carbon-13 would turn up some really easy to read information on half-lives.
