Can Marijuana And Caffeine Cause Variation In Drug Tests?

I failed a drug test for THC. The last time that I smoked marijuana was on April 9, and my test is this Friday (May 6). I have been doing things such as drinking coffee or energy drinks daily if not more, and i have been drinking a lot of water. I have also been taking my vitamins and getting a lot of antioxidants in. I really need to pass this drug test and I was just wondering if you think I will be in good shape for Friday?

Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.
I must tell you that no one can really say how long you will test positive for marijuana, since the rate of THC metabolism varies per individual. The amount of marijuana consumed can also alter the window of time that your body retains traces of THC. However it may take 1-3days on an average to clear it from your system.

I think you will clear the drug test this time as you took marijuana almost a month ago.

Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
