Do Laxatives Flush THC Out Of The System?

This is probably a silly question but in any case I m just looking for an honest answer. Does taking laxatives help with flushing out THC in your body? I was just researching and came across an article about 85% of THC is taken outta of your body through your stool. The rest through urine.

Hi,

Laxatives may remove some of THC but may be not all of the drug out of the system. Skinny people eliminate THC quickly more than those who are overweight since the drug has affinity for fat cells. They can bind to fat cells and slowly release in time thereby can be present for a long time in the body.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General and Family Physician
