I dont know really where to post this but I have a serious problem. First of all i get put on probation next week on a tuesday the 20th and if i drop dirty i go to prision. To tell you my smoking pattern well im 18 and i started smoking since i was 11 pretty much everyday longest break i would say is 2 weeks out of the whole time. Im 6 '2 about 175 pounds a have a small beer gut waste size 32 if that helps. Last time i smoked was yesterday not knowing i be on probation next week. I didnt get busted with weed my friend got arrested for car hopping and raded me out so im going to be on restricted probation called youth justice something not really sure on 5 charges of 3rd degree burgarley and possession of tools. Thats besides the point point is i get dropped next week i fail this i violate probation and set to missouri prision because iowa's is fulls. I herd detox drinks just hides ur toxicans in ur kidney and my friend james just failed his Ua after taking a detox drink that garenteed his money back by 200% which is bullshit because for all u who need jobs and shit that aint nothing compared to probation and prision time so please help.
i know this thread introduced the question of how long some herb stays in the body, but if you want to talk in more detail about your problem maybe start a new thread..btw nice info bud
The problem with giving a detection time is that it varies way too much...
People who will get it out of their system the fastest are skinny people with little body fat and a high metabolism. Some might say that an occasional user gets rid of it faster, which may be true, but also heavy users break it down faster in their body and get rid of it quicker. Supposedly heavy users tested positive after a week long binge (no documentation on this).
Larger people with a slower metabolism will have a longer detection time.
I highly recommend drinking 8+ glasses of water a day. It'll help keep your urine diluted and WILL increase your metabolism. I know I passed a test in the morning after smoking the night before. It was the second time I pissed that day too, so I didn't dilute properly. I just drank as much water as I could before the test, held it in, pissed in the toilet first, then pissed in the cup. It still had a good amount of yellow in it, but I passed.
Marijuana Detection Time Shorter Than Previously Assumed - NORML
According to this article, cannabis detection times with modern drug screens are only 10 days for chronic users, and 3 for occassional users. Does anybody know how reliable this information is?
Do what my friend did.....drink vinegar.
I would actually think that this is pretty accurate, atleast from personal experience. I'm currently on probation and while I stopped smoking for about 5 months, I eventually got sick of being sober and started again. I smoked for about a week, 1-2 bowls a night, and I passed my drug test after 4 days of not smoking. Following that test I began figuring out ways around my drug tests so I smoked 3-4 bowls a night for about 2 months straight until they noticed and I was tested 7-8 days after that. I again passed with no problem. I'm pretty active though, working out 4-5 days a week and drinking a lot of water + supplements so that might help me out. On the other hand, my good friend who's also on probation smoked once after being clean for 4 weeks or so, then was tested 3 weeks after, and failed his test. He's also pretty "husky" if you know what I'm saying which is why it probably stayed in his system. I wouldn't risk it though like I did, I'd say buy a home test and try it after a certain amount of days and see if you pass so you know exactly how long you need.Quote:

I think that generally there is a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to the question of "how long does it stay in your system." Most people come across some hearsay and treat it like fact when in reality there have been very few scientific studies done to test the validity of any argument.
