How Long Will One Hit Of Marijuana Stay In My System

How long will one hit of marijuana stay in your system?

Marijuana can stay in your system anywhere from 3 days to 90 days, depending on a variety of factors, the main one being how much THC – the drug component in marijuana – your body stores.
THC is fat-soluble, meaning a heavier person will store more of it than a thin person. People also have different metabolic rates. Someone with a slow metabolism will need more time to rid their body of the THC and other marijuana components than will someone with a fast metabolism.
How much you’ve smoked, how often, and how frequently are other factors. If you’re smoking enough that the effects of your last smoke are still in your system when you light up again, your body won’t have a chance to eliminate the telltale signs of the first marijuana use before taking in the effects of the second use. The more you can spread out your marijuana intake, the easier it will be to cleanse yourself.
The type of test administered can also have an effect on whether or not marijuana is detected. While urine tests are the most common, they are also the least accurate. However, they are becoming more sensitive, and many now detect when someone has been "flushing" fluids through themselves in an effort to eliminate potential chemical traces.
Blood tests are much more accurate, though more expensive. Since THC is stored in the fat, the chemical is slowly released over time into the bloodstream, where it eventually passes through the liver, is cleansed, and then eliminated. "Cleansing" kits that are available for purchase have very little, if any, effect on THC levels in the blood.
And finally, your hair can be tested. Hair contains a record of everything your body has been through while that hair was growing. Short of cutting it off, there’s nothing you can do to stop your hair from giving away your secrets. However, testing of hair is very expensive and rarely done by employers, so most people don’t have to worry about this intense level of testing.
So the answer, as for so many things, is "it depends". But for the occasional user who needs a clean test, a week of non-use, including exercise and plenty of fluids, is a good way to increase your chances of a happy ending.

How long will one hit of Marijuana stay in my system?

I took a hit off a gravity bong. But like I didn't even hit it right, I barely got any smoke. I mean I felt a slight tingle in my throat but I didn't cough my *** off like I've done in the past. It was my first time "smoking pot" in over 3 months. I possibly have a drug test within the next 3 days - 3 weeks. Will I be okay? What should I do to rid my body of the THC? I weight 146 pounds, I'm 5'7, 15 and a female. I have a high metabolism! and I'm skinny, with some muscle. Thank you so much for your replys!

How long does one hit of marijuana from a bong stay in your urine/blood for a drug test?

If it was a one time toke then 3-4 days and here is why.

Marijuana has a half-life in your system. How long it takes to leave your system depends on how much you smoke. But the time maxes out at around 45 days. One smoking session for someone with a clean system takes about 3-4 days to be clean. Smoke 2 days later and then have to wait about a week, and so on. The time it will take roughly doubles every time you smoke until it maxes at about 45 days to be clean. So if you are maxed out and you wait about 2 weeks and then smoke again, you're basically back to 45 days.
Marijuana can be detected in urine for nearly a week after smoking. Blood tests can be more accurate, and it might take a month to be totally clear. Hair tests show every drug ever taken when that hair was growing - this is why you see so many drug addicts with shaved heads or buzz cuts, by the way. Also by the way: taking laxatives and drinking wacky chemicals won't "cheat" a drug test. It will just make you go to the bathroom! These drug tests are designed by experts who anticipate what the drug user might do.

Be very careful of "remedies" for getting around drug tests. They flat out do not work and could do damage to your body.

Would one hit of marijuana make me fail a drug test?

Michael brings up some very valid points. You should listen to him.

As for the passing the test, if it was a one time hit and one time use, you should pass and here is why.
