HOW LONG DOES TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL, THC LAST IN THE BODY?

HOW LONG DOES TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL, THC LAST IN THE BODY?


Tetrahydrocannabinol is the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis and one of at least 113 total cannabinoids identified on the plant.THC is the main psychoactive compound in marijuana. It's what makes people feel "high." 


THC and its metabolites are stored in body fat before finally clearing out through the kidneys. 


For someone who has used it daily for so long, your body will be completely saturated with the stuff for some time after quitting. 




At 83 days, you're pretty much right on the edge of having it out of your system but just aren't quite there yet. 


One-time use will usually stay in your system for 5-8 days. If you use cannabis 2-4 times per week and then stop, you'll test positive for 11-18 days.


Long-time heavy users should expect positive results for at least 90 days after cessation and even up to 120 days for those who are larger or with a slow metabolism. 


HOW TO REDUCE THC IN THE BODY FASTER.


To reduce the accumulation of tetrahydrocannabinol faster than the body's natural process, it is recommended that one should detoxify their systems.


To detox, means to help your kidneys move toxins out of your body as quickly as possible. 


One of such ways is the drinking of detox teas and cleanses aimed at lowering THC levels through their diuretic properties. They make individuals urinate a lot, which technically washes out the kidneys, and helps the body's detoxification process.


Examples of simple homemade detox cleanses include;


1.Cranberry juice 


2.Detox teas 


3.Lemon juice in water


4.Plain drinking water


5.Vinegar ·


6.Niacin detox


7.Apple cider vinegar with distilled water e.t.c
