How Long Does Marijuana Stay In Your System?
Posted by at 3rd April, 2007
How long does marijuana stay in your system is a popular topic, that’s for damn sure. And you can find a TON of regurgitated facts and figures on the Internet about it that all say basically the same thing: "it depends on your weight, your body fat, your metabolism…" YADA YADA YADA.
But since it’s a pretty good bet that you’re asking because you’re a pot smoker who’s got a test coming up, maybe what you should really be asking is: do I need to be worried about whether or not I can pass a drug test? Because the thing is, if you can HIDE the fact that you smoke pot, then you really don’t even need to worry about how long does marijuana stay in your system.
Here’s an example:
Smoker #1 gets high several times a day - every day - and he has for years. But he knows exactly what he needs to do to get a false negative on a drug test, whether it’s a urine test or a saliva test. So, not only is he able to pass any drug test that gets thrown his way, he also never loses any sleep worrying about how long marijuana stays in your system. To him, it just doesn’t matter.
Smoker #2 just shares a bowl with one of his buddies once or twice a month. But he has NO clue how to pass a drug test, and he wouldn’t know how to get on the Internet if it sneaked up and nipped him on the butt. Since pot can show up in a test for a month or two AFTER you stop smoking, there’s a real good chance that this poor guy will fail - even though he hardly ever gets high.
So the real key to this issue isn’t knowing how long does marijuana stay in your system – it’s knowing how to make it LOOK like it isn’t in your system. Once you know how to do that, then you can stop being paranoid about whether or not you can pass a drug test. I remember that feeling, and it totally sucks.
The plain fact is that you aren’t going to find any information on the Internet that will give you definite peace of mind about whether or not pot will still be in your system when you show up for your test. But hey, wouldn’t it be GREAT if there was somebody who could tell you, "okay, according to our calculations you won’t have any THC in your system after next Tuesday at 4 o’clock"? But down here on Earth, that just ain’t gonna happen.
Fortunately, how to pass a drug test is really pretty easy. At least, it is once you wade through all the sales hype out there written by companies who want you to buy their expensive detox products. People DO successfully pass drug tests, every day, and they never lose any sleep worrying about how long does marijuana stay in your system.

I want to know if you would be able to tell me how long it MIGHT take for thc to get out of my system. I wiegh 102.5 pds, Im 5′7″ and I have a super metabolism. I dont have alot of fat on my body. Last day I smoked was on the eigth of april (not too long ago I know) and I have been starting to drink about two - four 16 oz bottles of water daily. If I wanted to smoke some next weekend (that being the only time this month, and it would only be a few bowls shared with three other people) and I continue to go on hikes, walks, and biking…could I be clean from 4/21 to 5/8?
Your information will help out alot seeing as how Im still really clueless and this is my first time that I really need to worry about passing a drug test (I’ve only been smoking since the end of nov, and the most I ever smoked in one day was four bowls shared with other people).
Thanks again, I intend on buying your book here soon :)
I won’t say how long I think it *might* take for you to get clean, because then you might have that figure in the back of your mind and get a false sense of security. Because everybody is different, I don’t want to be responsible for your taking any unnecessary risks, you know?
But I will say this: since it sounds like you have a super-low percentage of body fat, along with a fast metabolism, you *might* be clean by 5/8. But there’s only one sure way to find out. ;)
I smoked 13 days ago. Prior to that I had’nt smoked since the first week in January. I did a detox drink…Q carb this morning 2 1/2 hours before a urine test. I am 5′3 and 130 pounds. What’s the likely hood that my test will be negative. I am also lean and do minimal exercise….I’m so nervous!
Look, Ive got this drug test in two weeks. Im a skinny tall guy, I’m about 5′9 and i weigh about 145 pounds, i run two miles a day and i have 10 percent body fat, with a high metabolism, plus ive been drinking a gallon of water every day for close to a month, do you think ill be straight for my test?
Ok dude tell me wat u think I smoked weed on my 21 birthday on april 8 and smoked on april 11 and on the april 12 and I would say all together it was 1 blunt in a half I weight 156 and is 5′10 and work out a lot and have a piss test on friday april 25 oh yeah I never gain weight no matter how much I eat so that means I have high metabolism so u think ill be okay
i stopped smoking back at end of feb or early march. latest was march 5th is all i know but could have been sooner than that. So, its been atleast 54-55 days now. had a drug test last week but said it was too diluted, so took one today. im 230 5′11 i was daily user for about 7 months. and sparingly before that. i used an at home a few weeks ago and said i was good but i also failed a test a few days later. again that was 3 weeks ago. should i be worried or does anything think im good. i was also drinking quite a bit of water daily since then, have worked out in here n there times and used saunas. havent been a real couch patato or eating alot of junk either.
how long u think thc would stay in my system if i used to be a heave smoker then i stopped for 3 months then i smoked 1 time maybe like 10 hits. u think it would be out of my system in 2 weeks? im like 5′6″ 150lbs, and i work out like 5 days a week
ok i smoke alomst every other weekend n its been 10 dayz since i smoked will it be out my system by tomarow??
Will it be out of your system by tomorrow? Everyone’s metabolism is different, so it’s impossible to answer a question like that. I hope so for your sake, but I’m afraid I don’t have a magic crystal ball that can tell you for sure one way or another.
i smoked weed yester day and i have a drug test in a month i only took one hit will i be ok
You might be ok, you might not be. Depends on how often you were smoking *before* that one hit you took yesterday and how fast your metabolism is, etc. But the point I’m trying to make here is that how long marijuana stays in your system isn’t really the hot issue. Since it’s so hard to know for sure, just make sure you know how to pass a drug test and then you won’t have to worry about it either way.
Ok I haven’t smoke like n 3mouths and I got weak on the 21 of june and I have a pee test on the 7th of july from my probation officer…I’m drinking water taking nicoins and carnberry pills….should it b outta my system by then?
I know everyones asking how long it will be till the bud out of there system but im just curious if i can pass the test soon for a job . I stoped smoking in march , then about a week and a half ago i hit a bowl like 2 or 3 times . I dont have a fast mytabolisym and im not skinny . Im just worried about failing cause my mother would freak the fuck out . Help me ?
If you had a fast metabolism I would probably say you might be clean by then, but as it is I don’t know. You don’t say exactly when your test is, but it sounds like it could be anytime now. The main point I try to make is that if someone has ANY doubt at all in their mind, they should just take all the steps they can to pass a drug test (just read through the posts on my site), and that way you WON’T have to be paranoid about it. I wish I could say “yeah, you’ll be fine, don’t worry about it!” But if your test is any day now, I think there’s a chance you could fail it if you don’t dilute.
I’m 19 and I hadn’t smoked since I was 15…I smoked in the beginning of May…but just 3 hits. Then I smoked again on June 21. I took 2 hits off of a joint. If I have a drug test this week can I pass? I’m 5′ and weigh about 125, my metabolism is average.
Im 22 i weigh about 105kgs and im 190cm tall, i have been an an every day pot smoker for 3 months.. i stoped smoking on the 17 off april, and just recently had a drug test on the 9th of july, thats about 78 days, i took liver tablets, and vitimans and drunk masses amounts of water. And play sport! Will i pass?
Yes, your chances of passing are good. But 78 days without weed??!!! I could never last that long. Thank god there are easier ways to pass, like DILUTION just a few hours before your test.
I don’t know what’s up with the liver tablets you were taking though, that has nothing to do with passing a piss test. And everything else you did was a waste of time for that matter. The thing that will help you pass is just the sheer length of time you’ve been clean.
I’m a heavy user that smokes everyday. I have a test coming up in a week and 2 days. If I start detoxing now do I have a shot at passing the test?
> If I start detoxing now do I have a shot at passing the test?
NO, because the only way to ‘detox’ would be to somehow lose all your body fat in the next week, where thc is stored in your body. Anyone who tells you that you can detox for thc is feeding you a complete line of b.s. and probably just wants you to waste your money buying their product.
The only way you’re going to pass at this point is by diluting the day of your test. You need to read my post about passing a urine test.
Okay… So here’s the deal… I’ve smoked a blunt a day for about 4 months and I had stopped smoking roughly around May 28th-June 3rd, I have a drug test coming up tomorrow, do you think I’ll pass?
Kerri, if you stopped smoking by June 3rd then I think you have a very good chance of passing your test tomorrow. There are no guarantees since everyone is different and I don’t know anything about your particular metabolism, but statistically anyway, the odds are in your favor. But if you’re worried at all about not passing, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to dilute before you go in, for an added guarantee. As long as you make sure you do what’s necessary to cover up your dilution anyway.
Hey. I was clean for like 3 weeks before this past Friday. I took one hit of a joint at a party on Friday evening/Saturday morning. It’s now 5 minutes into Thursday. I’ve got a drug test on Friday, I believe. I’ve been busting my ass exercising, training and hydrating, to make my weight for this thing I have coming up. I’ve lost a total of 6-7 percent of my body fat since March, and probably at least 2-3 percent within the last month and a half. What’s the likelihood that I’ll pass?
I smoked 2 joints with 2 friends on the 16th. I haven’t smoked before that, nor since. My test is in either next week or the week after. Can I pass?
Bonnie: I’d say your chances of passing are decent, but not because of the exercise you’ve been doing, just the fact that you haven’t been smoking much.
Josh: If your test is week after next your chances of passing are pretty good. If it’s next week, I’m not so sure. If I were you, I’d dilute if the test is next week, just to play it safe.
I have a pre-employment drug test coming up this week 8/4 or 8/5 maybe able to push it off to 8/6. I smoked a bowl on 7/26 and nothing since.I have been drinking alot of coffee (a diratic) and water. I am 5′3 and weigh 140 lbs. I have always taken vitamin B for energy and take Tylenol PM every night to get to sleep. If I list these over the counter meds will I pass. I HAVE to pass this.
Lavita, you don’t say how regular a smoker you were before 7/26, but if it was pretty regular then I’d say your chances of passing without diluting aren’t good. You need to read my post about urine tests here: http://www.howtopassadrugtest420.org/27/how-to-pass-a-urine-test/
All the things you mention won’t do anything to help you pass, and the Tylenol won’t help one way or another. Drinking lots of coffee might help the day of your test, but just because you’ve been drinking a lot now doesn’t have any effect. The only thing that makes a difference is what you drink the day of your test.
I recently took a pre employment test with my nieces urine. I placed it in a prescription pill bottle warmed it up a little, wrapped it in a paper towel and placed it under my breast. as they are not only looking for the urine but the temperature as well. it was a great success! I now have a cushy job at a major company in my city. drug testing is an invasion of privacy ….i don’t care if I smoke crack as long as I do my job and do it effectively who give a crap? latavia no way in hell ur going to pass.
btw I don’t smoke crack just using that as an example
i smoked everyday for a year up until may 30, 2008. cause i got arrested..stopped for about a month, then a few blunts in july. and again on aug 1, i have a drug test about a month from 2day..do i have any chance of passing.. i am 5′11, 155 pounds, fast metablosim and drink water all day everyday. do i have a chance of passing
Chris, if you’ve got a fast metabolism and you abstain for an entire month, you’ll most likely pass. If you have ANY doubts at all I suggest you read my homepage at http://www.howtopassadrugtest420.org
But drinking lots of water everyday between now and then won’t have any effect on your test - that is THE most common myth out there about dilution. Dilution means drinking tons of water in the few hours right before your test. Anything else you drink might be healthy for ya, but it’s not going to help you pass a drug test.
when i dilute the test, is it a good idea to take vitimen b2 to give it a yellow color, and is there sumtin i can take to make sure the creatine level is ok so it doesnt look like i diluited it
i took about maybe 4 hits of a joint last saturday, but prior to that, I smoked one joint with friends(again limited hits), nearly a year ago, and that actually was my first time. im planning on taking my test either friday or monday. what are the chances?
i smoked around twice a week for two months, the last time i had a joint was on 28th august, how long do u rekon it wil take until im clear for the test?
I used to be a daily smoker (bout maybe 5 bowls a day between 2-5 people) till i got on probation. Before probation the last day i smoked was September 2, and today i took one pipe hit. im bout 5′9 bout 180lbs. I drink like 6 16.9 oz bottles of water a day. I work out bout 5 days a week. Do i have a good chance to be clean at the end of the month? Plz Help Me Out!
I smoked weed for the first time tonight, i’m scared because school just started so I might get tested any idea how long thisll be in my body? im 5′10 weigh 210
I somked for 25 years but have been clean 31/2 years. I am overweight but do exercise and stay active. Am I clean ?
i dont smoke but i have sit in the room with others smoking does it get in my sestem this way i dont breath in alot
Elizabeth, there may be tiny trace amounts in your lungs temporarily (the same as if you breathe in anything), but definitely not enough to register on a drug test. You don’t have anything to worry about. :)
