What Causes Existent THC In Urine Test After Quitting Drugs?
Brief Answer:
ah, this happens.
Detailed Answer:
there are three actual reasons possible.
1) the marijuana goes into the fat deposits of chronic smokers and often pops out months later. espeically if the fat deposits go down with losing weight.
2) Marjijuana is metabolized by the liver for it to get out. It's metabolism is definitely slower in people with HepC.... much slower is someone has really definite liver disease (if you don't KNOW you have serious liver disease, you don't!). Serious liver disease would show as fluid in a very distended abdomen, yellow skin, disorientation and discoordination, and usually multiple hospitalizations from it.
3) the test can misfire if it is a simple dipstick one.
