Yesterday marked 29 days since I quit all intake, and a home drug test still showed me testing positive for THC.
Will re-test in a couple weeks. It's a mind-over-matter thing for me to test clean before deciding to partake again. Pleasantly surprised that I did not experience a single withdrawal symptom, but I'll write that off as a bonus side-effect of the other meds I'm taking, as a mitigating factor.
So much for taking 28 days to clear out of your system.
28 days?
Scratch that.
It depends on your metabolism, method of testing and amount and duration of intake. I only experienced withdrawal symptoms after quitting/pausing weed when i was young and smoking it with tobacco. Life without weed wasn't any better nor any worse, but i just always really liked it and been a part-time stoner since age 16.
On topic: Expect up to eight weeks to "fully" clear out in the urine, which means levels of thc metabolites to fall under detection treshold.
Indeed. I am a moderate/social consumer these days, and tested clean 10 days after use.
As for the withdrawal symptoms, I agree in blaming tobacco for that. Nicotine is seriously addictive, and what's worse it creeps on you almost unnoticed - especially for those who think they're only craving weed. I have several such friends: they quit smoking pure tobacco (or weren't smokers in the first place), but they do use it regularly with weed. "It makes the taste rounder" "It maker for an easier toke" and so on is what they say. IMO, they're addicts and they don't even know.
