How Long Does THC Remain In The System?

Hello I recently smoked twice. Each time just 2 hits. I have a hair follicle drug test within 10days. I also have a weave in my hair so how can I do the test? Can I clear my system and how long after you smoke does it take for the THC to show in your hair. Sorry it s a lot but thanks

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.

Short answer: Around a week for occasional users.

Detailed answer:
Thank you for asking.

The time required by the body to clear THC from the system depends on many factors like metabolism, how frequently you are using THC etc. It is difficult to say exact number of days required. For occasional users it is around a week.

If you are not a regular user of THC and the time gap between your THC smoke and hair follicle drug test is more than a week then there is nothing to worry.

I hope this helps.

If you have any other queries I'll be happy to help.

Regards,
Dr.Prathap Kumar
