How long...

Does it take to get clean?

I don't smoke very often. Maybe twice a week (although i have a half of hydro sitting in my basement...i may smoke a bit more often now;) ). I've been clean for about two weeks atm and I have to schedule a physical pretty soon. They don't test, normally, but they will for me. Special occasion type deal.

Anyway, I've been drinking tons of water and shit, I play sports, I'm thinking three weeks should be enough? If not, then would four weeks guarentee me clean or might I still have trouble? Four weeks is a fairly long time. Again, I never really smoked that often. Only a few times a week if that, so my system probably isn't too overloaded.

I've gathered from reading different threads and such that drinking gatorade an hour or so before a test helps and also maybe going to the sauna for a few days before.

Im sure your fine, go buy a test at the drug store and take it when you are very hydrated....peace of mind is great.

Light smokers with an active life style and fast metabolism can be clean in as little as 2 weeks. Heavy smokers with a slow metabolism can take up to 45 days. Go easy on the fats in your diet- this forces your body to use the fat where the THC metabolites are stored. Take "B' vitamins (it will turn your urine yellow). They give you energy (burn that fat) and because of their color, they will mask the fact that you are trying to dilute your urine. Watch it on the drinking of water. Kids have DIED because they drank too much of just water- the minerals in their blood get too diluted and it causes a heart attack. No, I'm not kidding! Gatorade, chicken soup and/or milk should be drunk instead of just water. You don't need to "flush" your system with liquids for days and days before your test. One or two days are enough. Take a "B" vitamin the night before and maybe one that morning. Do not give your first or second urine of the day for your sample. Urinate at least twice before taking the sample. Do the collection from the middle part of your urination. Good luck!

marijuana contains two drugs (along with the many other drugs) called cannabinol and cannabidiol. When you take these two drugs you're "telling" your liver to slow down and not metabolize drugs out of the body. Polyphenols in caffeinated tea (green, black, white, or oolong) overcome the inhibitors in cannabinol and cannabidiol. Drink some tea a few days a week, you'll help your liver matabolize drug metabolites in your body. All this and much more in a great book called Passing Drug Tests: The Gospel of Getting Clean for UA's. Written by Kenn A Biscranium.

It's impossible to give an exact answer, there's no exact timeframe to say when one will get clean, just too many variables to factor in. You're a light smoker though, twice a week, and you haven't smoked in the last 2-3 weeks. You'll be fine for a drug test, just don't overdo it though with the water, the last thing you want is to be flagged because your urine _is_ diluted.

Hey, thanks for all the responses guys. Very good advice. And yeah, I haven't been drinking THAT much water, only a few extra glasses a day type thing. Its been about 3 weeks now, so I think I'm just going to stick out for a another week or two and be sure and then take it just because I'm paranoid as fuck!

Happy smoking!
