Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have hypothyroidism and have a urine drug test coming up in 10 days for work. I smoke nightly...but haven t smoked for a week since I found out. I smoke a bowl or less a night of average quality weed to help me sleep mostly. Will my hypothyroidism cause the THC to stay in my system longer than the average person? I have an average BMI. I m 5 3 and 135 lbs if that helps. I know this is a bit out there to ask...but I figure a doctor would be more likely to know more than I am. Thank you!!!
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The half life of THC is around 10 days and it will be cleared out from the body in around 20 days. Thyroid status does not affects its excretion. You can check the blood marijuana levels by immunoassays. You can also do urinalysis to check the THC status of your body.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
