How Long Does THC Stay In The Body?
Question: I am 29 years old and 5'11' and weigh 145 lbs. I'm also 35 weeks pregnant with my fourth child. I work 40+ hours a weeks and take care of my kids alone. I recently stopped smoking marijuana (for nausea and vomiting, backaches, stress, and depression) in the past two weeks and was wonder how long it would take to cleanse mine and my unborn child's system ?
Brief Answer:
Can take 6 weeks to get out of the system.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If you have smoked marijuana regularly till 33 weeks of pregnancy then it will take at least 6 weeks to get get out of your system completely and the unborn child is more prone to complications like low birth weight, premature birth, small head circumference, small length, stillbirth, etc.
It can affect the baby's memory, gaps in problem solving skills and can cause difficulty in paying attention.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
