What Causes THC Level High After Withdrawal From Pot Smoking?
My son is in drug court. He is approximately 320 lbs. He has been a heavy pot smoker since he was approximately 14. He has not smoked now for at least one month almost two. He also has a possibility of having some kidney problem. His THC levels are still very high. In fact, a judge put him in jail because his levels are still so high and they insist he is still smoking. What could cause this?

Fine, see what the drug levels are in 3 days. They will be MUCH lower. This is a clue that CONTINUED USING MARIJUANA is the only thing that causes sky high THC. There are breakdown products of it that are stored in fat and they can come out and make a test positive. They are NOT at sky high amounts; they are somewhat above the minimal detectable amounts.
