How Long Does THC Remain In Body?

default
Posted on Fri, 26 Sep 2014
Question: I have smoked about 0.5 grams or less of marijuana each day for one week. Before that I had no THC in my system. I found out today that I will be required to take a DOT drug test in three days. I am female, with an average to high metabolism, 150 lbs, age 30. How long do you think the THC will stay in my system?

Brief Answer:
It may take two weeks to clear

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thans for using Healthcaremagic.

For a single dose THC remains in system for one to three days but for multiple doses it may remain in our system for two to four weeks.. Since you smoked around one week continously this is unlikely to clear from system in three days.

Having said this the amount you smoked is low that makes me faintly hopeful that you may pass your DOT drug test but unfortunately possibility is minimal.

I hope you got your answer. If you have more questions I will be glad to answer you.
Thanks and regards
Dr Ashok
