Information on Length of Time Marijuana Stays in System

Marijuana is the most commonly used drug in the United States. It is commonly referred to as pot and is also popular in many other places across the world. It can be smoked in or can be ingested orally as an ingredient of bakery products like cookies and cakes. The drug is a mild one and is especially popular among school and college goers. This adds another problematic dimension to pot use. These teenaged users will later become addicts and may also move on to using more potent drugs like cocaine. Marijuana is also the drug for which you are most likely to be tested in any drug test. Therefore information on length of time marijuana stays in system is essential.

Urine drug testing is usually used to detect marijuana. A sample of urine is collected and a test strip is inserted into it. Depending on the response of the strip, the persons drug use / non-use habits are confirmed. For detailed testing gas chromatography drug testing can also be used. This is generally used in combination with mass spectrograph. Different molecules take different times to come out of a gas chromatograph. A mass spectrograph present downstream captures and ionizes these molecules. That way detection of drug molecules in the sample (mixture) is possible.

The retention time for pot i.e. the duration for which it stays in the system depends on numerous factors. These include the age, gender, height, weight, percentage of body fat, body size and fluid intake of the drug user. Retention times also depend on the amount of drug consumed in each installment, the frequency of drug use and the total duration for which the user has been using the drug. THC i.e. tetra hydro cannabinol is the psychoactive substance in pot. It is soluble in fat and so a person with more body fat retains it longer than someone with low body fat. Also people with faster metabolisms are able to assimilate and excrete the drug more quickly than those with slower metabolisms. Again greater fluid intake helps in flushing out toxins more quickly.
