How Long Does Marijuana Stay In The Body?
I am very sincere about quitting all unhealthy things and am trying to get this really good job. I had smoked some high grade marijuana on 5/18 and taking a swab test on 5/25. I am pretty skinny and have a fast metabolism. Should I be okay for this test? Thanks so much for any advice.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you had marijuana on 5/18 and you underwent test on 5/25 and after that you had test, detection of marijuana depends on many factors such as drug potency, tolerance, fluid intake at time of test, method and frequency of marijuana use and body metabolism.
As for being detectable in a drug test, well this depends on the type of drug test. Urine test will detect up to a month prior but a blood test will show positive if had weed in the last 6 months. As you had swab test it will hardly stay there from few minutes till 24 hrs.
Marijuana metabolites are stored in fat tissue so those users who are overweight will probably take longer to clear the drug. So you need not to worry about anything. Your test will be okay.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
