Drinking a bunch of water days or weeks before a U/A is of no help. It must be understood that THC is not water soluble. THC is fat soluble. THC is stored in the fat cells and remain there until the fat cells are burned for energy. Therefore, you cannot rid the fat cells of THC by drinking copius amounts of water. Does not work that way (more on that in a moment).

When fat cells burn, the THCA metabolites are released back into the bloodstream, filtered by the kidneys, and are deposited into the bladder for the eventual exit (this is the main reason why THC carries a longer detection period than other types of drugs). A sizeable portion of THC metabolites are excreted via the feces, but since fecal matter is not a collected specimen for drug tests, our focus here will be on urine.

Drinking fluids only serves to dilute the THCA concentration that is present in the bladder. The idea is to dilute that concentration to where the urine sample registers below the cutoff thresholds of the drug screen. Its a balancing act and the dilution phenomena is only temporary - once the fluids ingested had all been urinated out, the bladder is replenished with fresh THCA-laden urine, and thus the donor is right back to square one.

Sweating is hardly of any help because very little THC is excreted via sweat. You could sweat enough to fill many buckets, yet the amount of THC being excreted would still be miniscule. The rest are being excreted via the urine and feces.

Exercise is helpful if you have weeks to prepare. However, if your home test kits show a positive, and the scheduled U/A is 3 days or less away, then exercise can work against you for the reasons stated in paragraph 2. Therefore, for those 3 days, you want to curtail all fat-burning activities and be as dormant as possible until after the U/A. That way you wont be releasing a bunch of THCA into the bloodstream, which would end up in the urine to be detected.

I got "The Stinger" extra strength (herbal drink). I'd like to take that but I keep reading that they test for those now too. So I'm wondering if I should skip that and just dilute?
Forget those magic detox potions. All detox potions "work" by diluting (that is when they do work at all). They "work" because of the water that youre required by the instructions to drink with them. You can spend up to $200 on a magic elixir, and accomplish nothing different than what can be accomplished using just vitamin b2 and water.
In summary, detox products are a big scam to prey upon the uninformed and credulous, and taking their cash. Cannabis users are victimized enough by the so-called 'war on drugs' without these vulturing scam artists swooping down into the mix.

There is no product that can permanently rid the body of THC, regardless of what those sales pitches would like the consumer to believe. The only proven way to permanently rid the body of THC is time and exercise

While the Dilution "sticky" thread is nearly a decade old, it is, for the most part, still relevant today. About the only step that no longer applies is the "Aspirin" step. My post, which is the closing post of the "sticky", will tell you why.
Burnt Toast Reviewed by Burnt Toast on . Urine Analysis plan I have a NIDA/DOT method and I HOPE I'm just facing a urine analysis. I'm a big guy. Like 6'2 about 285 lbs. I'll be cannabis free for 8 days when I take the test. It's a situation where they are testing everyone at an appointed time, so unless I call in sick with a REALLY great excuse I have to take it then. And even if I do, I'm going to have to face the music next time I go in anyway. I can't really substitute because, like I said, I have to go when they call me to at work so I have no Rating: 5
