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 TH...

Honey Nutrition Facts &  Health Benefits The sugar we all are accustomed to is produced in two principal ways, from beet or cane. In production sugar is extracted and refined, before consumption. Sugar is primarily made of sucrose. Honey, on the other hand,  is made by bees using the nectar of flowering plants and stored in combs until when collected for use. Honey is primarily made up of  Fructose, followed by glucose and sucrose. The sweet taste of honey is attributed to its higher fructose content, and fructose is known to be sweeter than glucose or sucrose. From the above  explanation, we see that honey is sugar (contains sucrose), but it's sweeter, safer to use and it isn't inflammatory.  In addition to its use as a natural sweetener, honey is used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial agent. People commonly use honey orally to treat coughs and topically to treat burns and promote wound healing. On the other hand,sugar is indeed inflamm...

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHILDREN BORN FROM PARENTS WHO ARE BOTH IDENTICAL TWINS. This write up is inspired by the true life story of the salyers twins (identical) who surprisingly got married to another pair of identical twins–Briana and Brittany. The twins after marriage, would then go in to live under the same roof and give birth to babies who doctors described as having– similar genetic make-up. Although the babies are from two different fathers and two different mothers, they are only respectively cousins. Genetically speaking, Briana and Brittany’s children, current or future - as long as they remain with their spouses - will always be full biological siblings to each other even though they would have different parents. This is so because in the case of identical twins,one sperm fertilizes one ova/egg and then the fertilized ovum splits and two individuals are born–yet they are genetically alike in every way. This also means that if such persons that are ge...
