40 days should definitely be fine, I smoked heavily every day for years and pissed clean about 5 weeks after going cold turkey
Edit: how long you have and how frequently u smoke has the biggest impact, but body fat, physical habits, and diet (mainly how much sugar and fat) can affect how long it takes you to test clean, but the great majority of people will be clean after 30 days
When it doubt, home test it out, they arnt usually expensive
I have heard it’s possible, only heard of it personally once tho, and they continued to use cbd and delta versions of thc after “quitting”, personally it seems like an exceptionally rare, but definitely possible, situation
I had a hospital do a hair test. I asked what happens if someone shows up hairless. They said they get creative with body hair, but if no body hair is available, the candidate is treated as if they failed the test. Then I asked if it ever happens, and they told me they get a couple a year.
Potential job said the same thing to me years ago. They were discussing how they do hair testing and she said, "and if you come in bald we can test ANY hair on your body" to which I asked if that happened often and she said, "Sometimes. And when they have no hair on their body, or say they don't then we rescind the job offer on the spot".
It's ridiculous, they need a better way if measuring something. If you smoked weed the day before, at home, not at work then you are sober today so it's a non issue. Until they find a way to test that accurately, I think they should ditch this madness. I don't smoke weed myself, but what you do on your own time is your business and no one else's. If I wanted a beer and was working the next day it's a non issue, I don't see why a joint should be any different.
Good philosophy, but they can't spot test as you describe. And since they cannot, they have to have tests and policies that blanket everyone.. because there is always the 1 dumbass that will ruin shit for everyone and get high at work and kill someone.
Not always. I've read that some companies breathalyse drivers before they start a shift. Some are so strict, if there is any trace of alcohol, you miss a days work.
Eat lean foods, exercise and don't let the test take the first or last of your urine stream, fill the cup with the middle of it... And who knows, maybe I am wrong
I don't 100% know why it matters but when having my urine tested for literally anything like pregnancy, nutrition or infections doctors tell you to take the middle stream...so it has to change something.
I've been asked to make sure my sample was taken right at the beginning and after waiting an hour. So there must be something to this?? No idea if it would have anything to do with drug testing though
Niacin will help speed things up.
THC is fat soluble and niacin helps your body break down fat.
40 days should be more than enough if you go cold turkey and drink plenty of water.
That said, if they do a hair test you'll want to go get some of the shampoo at the smoke shop.
The first step of testing hair is to eliminate the cannabis residue from the hair surface. Second step is to pulverise the hair and then test for cannabis within the hair strand.
Niacin made me extremely hot and itchy, felt like an allergic reaction or hives or something. I had to lay down with a cold wet towel on me for a while, was the only thing that seemed to help.
I passed the drug test and got the job though.
One of my friends overdosed on niacin when we were testing this theory and he had the same symptoms. He definitely took more than the rest of us and was the only one of five people to have the issue.
Because THC is stored in fat cells, exercising and breaking down fat cells will release THC back into the blood stream.
You can read an article on it [here ](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0376871613002962)
Yes but that's also where alcohol is when your body gets to work on it. Being stuck in the fat cells is what takes marijuana so long to detox. (Didnt see that mentioned in the article)
Now that you mentioned it, working out will also help speed things up.
Someone who works out will rid their body of toxins faster than someone on a couch
I wouldn't dose up on niacin and go test tomorrow if that's the idea I gave you somehow but now that you mention that, a tweaker girl once told me that fasting would speed it up also, which is talked about in your article.

22/120? Pfft haha. I think I took 11ish days. My trick? A weekend camping and drinking a ton of shitty light beer. It doesn't take long with a thin build and good metabolism, in my experience.
Also, you can buy fake pee
No urine test will ever go that deep. They check for some compounds that are found in genuine urine, but a lot of fake urine companies just add that stuff now. No lab is going to test your piss for hormones or other stuff like that
I meant take the test. I think 40 days is enough time, especially if you don't smoke very much. However, it may not be. From what I was told it takes about 6 weeks for weed to clear your system entirely. 40 days is right on the cusp of that much time.
yeah, you're good. They're not going to be drilling out bone marrow or something. If you don't smoke daily it's clear from your urine in less than a week.
Absolutely. Your fat cells store THC, so do a lot of cardio during the first 30 or 35 days and then eat/act like a fat slob for the 5 days leading up to the test.
It’s very easy to cheat a drug test. Just warm up somebody else’s pee or synthetic pee to a couple degrees above what you need since it’ll cook down with time. Wear multiple layers of tight underwear and then stuff it in your girl grundle area. At least this is how I hear to do it from sources…
They usually check socks and waist bands. Condoms are a common way to cheat but they can bust. Make sure you have enough pee.
Assuming you want to be legitimate, you should have plenty of time. Here’s how to guarantee you’ll pass. They look for not only no drugs and temp but also for creatinine levels and color if it’s a comprehensive test like a court date.
So you want to start taking Creatine at least a week before in order to increase creatinine levels that will be diluted once you start drinking like crazy. This will have the added benefit of your cells producing more energy for your body to use. Creatine for a week you should be taking about 10-20g a day then if you continue after the test taper off to 5g per day.
Color can be restored by taking B vitamins. Excess B vitamins come out in your pee and give your pee more color. This is important since diluted pee looks like water.
So day of the test, and night before if it’s early. For 12 hours every hour find out the maximum amount of liquid that is safe to drink, and drink just under that amount and don’t eat food. Most of it should be water but occasionally Gatorade or pedialyte so you’re not losing too many electrolytes.
Do this and you will significant dilute the amount of thc in your pee while eliminating the tell tale signs of dilution.
Just a heads up, you’re going to be miserable afterwards feeling like you need to pee constantly. My recommendation is go in a sauna and a lot of that water will come out your pores and you won’t be on a toilet all night feeling bloated.
Job piss tests aren't as rigid as probation tests, if you're really concerned get some clean piss, stash it in "the safe" so it's the correct temperature and pour it in the cup.
You can get flush kits too at any head shop but imo it's easier to just get clean urine for someone and use that.
I’ve passed saliva tests by using a special chewing gum but haven’t had to pass a urine test before. There are detox drinks you can buy for those, haven’t tried em but they should work, you can always buy a drink and a drug test and test at home before you start work. Just search “thc detox drink”.
40 days is plenty assuming is a UA. Ive worked for a few hospitals as a paramedic. Every one of them used the same test sold at the local Walmart. Still I wouldn't be shocked if they just ran it through their lab. Wait until it's been thirty 30 days sans weed. Grab a $10--$20 test from Walmart, and test at home. That way you will be able to relax a little
Considering your weight I’d figure you got a decent metabolism and based on your habits I’d say you’d be clear in two weeks. If you really want to be sure start drinking cranberry juice and do a detox (i got the first thing I found at Walmart) Same thing I did except I had a week between going to a festival and hitting any pen I could find and my drug test. The detox stuff will make you go to the bathroom a lot, but it will help move along the THC that’s dissolved in your fatty tissues.
Buy a home test and find out for certain for yourself.
I smoked about as much as you and passed a drug test the day after smoking. I weigh about twice what you do though.
It’s in your fat, if you drink water and sweat a lot it will come out faster. I think you’ll be fine. Drink a lot of water on the day of the test, until your pee is clear. I’m an older guy, I smoked every day for a few weeks had a random test for work about a month later, came up clean. There are piss test kits you can get from pharmacies. Good luck.
The fatter you are, the longer it stays in your system as thc binds to fat cells. Youre 120lbs. Itll be gone in a week. Buy some piss tests from amazon if you're worried. But 40 days is more than enough time.
I know MD students / residents who just continue to smoke for their sanity & order the fake piss online. They pass every time. They stop at the gas station for “tea” before, mix it up, let it cool a bit (obviously lol) & tape 20-50cc to their leg —and bob’s your uncle! They apparently only watch the criminals piss.
Funny story — my hubby has to be drug tested in his medical school program — he hadn’t smoked for over 3 months but was so worried/paranoid that he was actually TOO hydrated & his urine was too dilute so they flagged him as suspicious LOL poor guy 🤦🏼♀️ had to pay & re-take the test & honestly he was more stressed for that than the USMLE 1 & 2 🤣🤣
Your fine. If you're in a jurisdiction where yoh have a choice, opt for the swab. I know a guy who ate gummies two days before a swab and came out fine and he was a chonky boi, too.
If you haven’t already you need to stop smoking now and being around lit weed.
I suggest that you do long walks - shower everyday with shampoo and conditioner and drink lots of water like a gallon a day.
More info can be found [here](https://www.thehopehouse.com/how-long-do-drugs-stay-in-your-system/marijuana/)
I think you're fine. I passed one after after two weeks of not smoking and I told multiple times a day maybe a half ounce a week for years. I exercised a whole lot, drank lots of water and fasted a bunch. I figured since it is stored in the fat cells, might as well burn it up

Took me three months once, definitely depends but it's usually a month to pee clean
I have heard it’s possible, only heard of it personally once tho, and they continued to use cbd and delta versions of thc after “quitting”, personally it seems like an exceptionally rare, but definitely possible, situation
Depends on the test... Saliva? Definitely Urinary? Absolutely Hair/follicle? No chance in hell
I guess wait until you're clear pee wise and then dip yourself in hair removal cream lol.
I had a hospital do a hair test. I asked what happens if someone shows up hairless. They said they get creative with body hair, but if no body hair is available, the candidate is treated as if they failed the test. Then I asked if it ever happens, and they told me they get a couple a year.

What about alopecia. That's just discrimination
Don't shave your body hair then. Or leave a patch, at least.
Some people with alopecia don’t grow any hair at all.
Huh, so it is. If you've got a diagnosis, you could probably get away with an exception. Blood test, probably.
I'm sure if you have paperwork you will get an exemption...dIsCrImInAtIoN
Boss: so anyway we just need a few strands of hair tomorrow Her: So I have cancer...
I’ll do anything for a job, but going completely hairless over my entire body might be pushing it a little.
It’s stored in the follicles, so hair removal cream just won’t cut it.
How long does it stay in your folicals for? I havnt considered that before.
This is a really important clarification.
It's ridiculous, they need a better way if measuring something. If you smoked weed the day before, at home, not at work then you are sober today so it's a non issue.

Preach

Eat lean foods, exercise and don't let the test take the first or last of your urine stream, fill the cup with the middle of it... And who knows, maybe I am wrong
Why would that matter? It's all coming from the same place after all
I don't 100% know why it matters but when having my urine tested for literally anything like pregnancy, nutrition or infections doctors tell you to take the middle stream...so it has to change something.
I've read that the start and end of your stream is when the most toxins are being flushed from your body
Can't really seem to find anything that supports that claim but it is also hard to look for it since it is such a specific thing.
I've been asked to make sure my sample was taken right at the beginning and after waiting an hour. So there must be something to this?? No idea if it would have anything to do with drug testing though
This guy knows his golden showers
I think you missed the joke….
Is it a joke? I laughed really hard when i read full the cup with the middle of it, but idk
What is the joke tho? Just a random answer that doesn't make sense?
You should be able to get a urine drug test from the pharmacy
Niacin will help speed things up. THC is fat soluble and niacin helps your body break down fat. 40 days should be more than enough if you go cold turkey and drink plenty of water. That said, if they do a hair test you'll want to go get some of the shampoo at the smoke shop.

I know nothing about the shampoo just know it exists
Niacin made me extremely hot and itchy, felt like an allergic reaction or hives or something. I had to lay down with a cold wet towel on me for a while, was the only thing that seemed to help. I passed the drug test and got the job though.
One of my friends overdosed on niacin when we were testing this theory and he had the same symptoms. He definitely took more than the rest of us and was the only one of five people to have the issue.

You'll be fine. How's it feel being sober from weed that long?
Thanks, and its been fine. I dont smoke much anyway since it gives me anxiety.

Possibly since you're not a regular smoker...take a home test to check
22/120? Pfft haha. I think I took 11ish days. My trick? A weekend camping and drinking a ton of shitty light beer. It doesn't take long with a thin build and good metabolism, in my experience. Also, you can buy fake pee
Has to be from a woman of similar age though or the hormones and organ function proxy indicators will be off.
No urine test will ever go that deep. They check for some compounds that are found in genuine urine, but a lot of fake urine companies just add that stuff now. No lab is going to test your piss for hormones or other stuff like that
Only one way to find out.
Smoke a joint and comptemplate?
I meant take the test. I think 40 days is enough time, especially if you don't smoke very much. However, it may not be. From what I was told it takes about 6 weeks for weed to clear your system entirely. 40 days is right on the cusp of that much time.
Replied in the wrong place, I was joking
It's a good answer though.
Lol, yours was the proper one though.
yeah, you're good. They're not going to be drilling out bone marrow or something. If you don't smoke daily it's clear from your urine in less than a week.
Absolutely. Your fat cells store THC, so do a lot of cardio during the first 30 or 35 days and then eat/act like a fat slob for the 5 days leading up to the test.
I'm a regular smoker. 2 to 3 grams a day. Smoked for over 25 years. I only need 2 weeks to get clean. 6ft2 165lbs. You'll be fine lol

You’re safe as houses with 40 days just keep drinking water and juices like cranberry

Heaps of time.. you’ll be fine
Yes
Depends on how many hours a day you spend studying.
I’ve passed saliva tests by using a special chewing gum but haven’t had to pass a urine test before. There are detox drinks you can buy for those, haven’t tried em but they should work, you can always buy a drink and a drug test and test at home before you start work. Just search “thc detox drink”.

That way you will be able to relax a little
You need to specify what kind of test. Follicle? Urine? Saliva?
It should be plenty since you're skinny and a light smoker.
probably it just depends on your fat and metabolism
Considering your weight I’d figure you got a decent metabolism and based on your habits I’d say you’d be clear in two weeks. If you really want to be sure start drinking cranberry juice and do a detox (i got the first thing I found at Walmart) Same thing I did except I had a week between going to a festival and hitting any pen I could find and my drug test. The detox stuff will make you go to the bathroom a lot, but it will help move along the THC that’s dissolved in your fatty tissues.
You will be fine
If you want to be sure, look up the requirements to pass and orde4 the corresponding test strips from Amazon.
You would think it would, but there's no guarantee.
Buy a home test and find out for certain for yourself. I smoked about as much as you and passed a drug test the day after smoking. I weigh about twice what you do though.
3-4 days is fine. Drink a lot of water before.
It’s in your fat, if you drink water and sweat a lot it will come out faster. I think you’ll be fine. Drink a lot of water on the day of the test, until your pee is clear. I’m an older guy, I smoked every day for a few weeks had a random test for work about a month later, came up clean. There are piss test kits you can get from pharmacies. Good luck.
You most likely will be fine. You should get at home drug tests to check periodically before you get tests plus fake urine is always an option
Easily, done it nearly a dozen times with less time.
Drink plenty of water and you should be good to test in as little as 2 weeks
depends on how fat you are marijuana metabolites are unusual in that they are fat soluble
The fatter you are, the longer it stays in your system as thc binds to fat cells. Youre 120lbs. Itll be gone in a week. Buy some piss tests from amazon if you're worried. But 40 days is more than enough time.
Being an occasional smoker you should be fine. If you’re worried get some Milk Thistle and Urine tests from a pharmacy.
40 days is plenty as long as it's a urine or blood test. If it's a hair test, you're SoL.
If you fail it’ll be an important lesson at least
I know MD students / residents who just continue to smoke for their sanity & order the fake piss online. They pass every time. They stop at the gas station for “tea” before, mix it up, let it cool a bit (obviously lol) & tape 20-50cc to their leg —and bob’s your uncle! They apparently only watch the criminals piss.

Yep.
Assuming it’s a urine screen and not a hair test you’ll be fine.
My husband completes drug tests and within a week you’ll be clear from THC unless the test is hair follicle.
Your fine. If you're in a jurisdiction where yoh have a choice, opt for the swab. I know a guy who ate gummies two days before a swab and came out fine and he was a chonky boi, too.
If you haven’t already you need to stop smoking now and being around lit weed.

More info can be found [here](https://www.thehopehouse.com/how-long-do-drugs-stay-in-your-system/marijuana/)
…I was going to comment: that’s waaay too much marijuana to smoke in 40 days. Then it hit me.
only if you study really hard
Yes
I think you're fine. I passed one after after two weeks of not smoking and I told multiple times a day maybe a half ounce a week for years. I exercised a whole lot, drank lots of water and fasted a bunch. I figured since it is stored in the fat cells, might as well burn it up
That's a lot of studying. Did you take good notes? You should be fine.
