Does Hypothyroidism Cause Marijuana To Stay Longer In The Body?
I took a drug (urine) test last Friday and I told the doctor I would test positive for marijuana. Now I have to take another drug test this friday to see if my levels of marijuana have gone down. I have hypothyroidism. Will this cause the marijuana levels to take longer to get out of my system. Thanks April

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
When you have hypothyroidism, your thyroid gland doesn't make enough of the hormone, and your metabolisms lows down. A slower metabolism can make it hard to clean the body from elements so they can stay longer.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
