THC\u2019s metabolites can stay around in the body for much longer than the duration of effects. In some cases, evidence of marijuana use can be detected for weeks, months, and even years after last use, depending on the type of test being used. In this article, we\u2019ll provide answers for those who are wondering \u201chow long does THC stay in your system?\u201d, and how long THC can be detected by drug tests.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

etrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the active ingredient in marijuana that causes intoxicating and psychoactive effects. THC is federally illegal, and many jobs may require potential employees to take a mandatory drug test.<\/p>\n

How long does THC stay in your system? The euphoric effects of THC can fade rather quickly, as these effects usually last for just a few hours when inhaled. However, THC and its metabolites can stay in your system for weeks after consumption, and in some cases, even longer. This puts marijuana users constantly at risk of failing a drug test.<\/p>\n

How Long Does THC Stay in Your System?<\/h2>\n

THC is the active compound found in both medical and recreational marijuana that causes short-term euphoric effects. Although the effects of THC last just a few hours, THC can stay in your system for much longer.<\/p>\n

Below, we explain exactly how long THC stays in your system, examining a few different specific aspects\u2014the answer often depends on what kind of THC test you are taking.<\/p>\n

How Long Does THC Stay in Blood?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Some THC and marijuana drug tests will test the user\u2019s blood. THC is rapidly metabolized by your body and will only remain detectable in your blood for somewhere between a few hours and one to two days after a single use.<\/p>\n

For those who are heavy marijuana users (multiple times a day), THC may stay in the bloodstream for up to a week. Blood tests for marijuana use are rare and are usually only conducted as a follow-up to a potential false positive on a previous testing method.<\/p>\n

How Long Does THC Stay in Saliva?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Some THC and marijuana drug tests will test the individual\u2019s saliva for traces of THC. If that is the case, THC will first appear in saliva about an hour after use. After first appearing, THC will remain detectable in your saliva until it is swallowed fully, which typically takes somewhere between one and two days after use.<\/p>\n

Drinking water, brushing your teeth, eating fatty foods, and using mouthwash may help speed up the removal of THC from saliva.\u00a0<\/span>Saliva tests<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>are being explored as a potential way to check for marijuana use in drivers, though some cannabis advocates feel they aren\u2019t reliable enough to test for impairment.<\/p>\n

How Long Does THC Stay in Urine?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The most common type of THC and marijuana drug test is a urine test due to the ease of use and low cost. In the urine, byproducts of THC are detectable for a longer period of time, meaning they can reveal marijuana use for weeks after use. The exact amount of time marijuana and THC is detectable in urine largely depends on how often you use marijuana. Many individual factors can affect these ranges, such as:<\/p>\n
