How Long Does THC Stay In The Body?

default
Posted on Mon, 7 Nov 2016
Question: Hi I am 19 weeks pregnant and have had a hard time quoting smoking due to life stressors & the fact I've always been a heavy smoker. I was able to quit finally and after I believe I would have finally been clean had a relapse and smoked a lot in a 4 day period. Now I am actually going to be tested and will loose my house and job and car if I am positive (I wasn't aware of the XXXXXXX test) & I am desperate to get clean quick enough to pass it and stay clean. So my question really is. How can I safely detox thc from my system quickly while pregnant. It will only be. Over the counter test not a medical grade one done at a center or anything

Brief Answer:
urine test comes positive for 4 days after smoking

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for information. Urine test comes positive for smoking (cotinine test) up to 4 days after last intake. More intake of fluids may help to clear the substance from your body early.

If your last intake has been 4 or more days back you will pass the test.

Take care.
