Brief Answer:
There is no way she will pass a drug test for THC

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and I hope I can help answer your question today.

THC is stored in fat cells in the body and because of that stays in the system for a long time. It can show up to 45 days on a drug test.

So called "cleansing" the body to remove drugs never works and I strongly advise your friend not take chances with taking some home remedy because we do not know the side effects on an unborn child. There is also no evidence that anything actually is effective in clearing drugs faster.

I hope this information was helpful and that your friend's situation works out for the best.

Sincerely, Dr. Brown
