Marijuana Detox: How to get weed out of your system fast

Why and when do you need to THC detox?

You will most likely need to detox from weed when you have to pass a drug test.  Weed can stay in your system for as long as 30 days, so It can be the most stubborn drug to get clean from.  Also, it hides out in fat cells.  Therefore, it can leech into the blood and urine at variable rates.*

You may need to detox from THC to get a new job or to prepare for a drug test to keep your job.  Conversely, you may do so for health reasons.  You may begin to resent the lack of memory or next day irritability after smoking a large amount of marijuana.  You may want a clear mind moving forward.

Lastly, you may want to detox for moral reasons.  Someone has convinced you it’s just not a good thing to depend on marijuana and you just want it out of your system as fast as possible.  Well, we’re not in the business of selling cannabis products, so we can tell you how to get it out of your system if you so choose.

How Long To Clean Your System for a Drug Test?

Frequency of useHow long for clean test for the average person
Single or infrequent72 hours
Chronic use7 to 10 days
Heavy Use10 to 21 days
All use Less than 30 days

If you want to get drugs out of your system naturally, you just have to stop using for the amount of time it takes your body to rid itself of the drugs.  The most stubborn by far is marijuana, because it hides out in the fat cells, and leaves the body according to how quickly you are burning fat.  One day, you may be under the detectable limit, the next day, without smoking any more cannabis but due to less water in the urine and more fat burning causing more pot to leech into the blood and urine, you could test positive.

The longest it will take to get THC out of the system is about 30 days.  It’s theoretically possible it could take longer in a person with a large amount of fat cells, but it’s generally unlikely to take longer than that.  You can speed the exit of THC from fat cells by burning fat, but this will cause an extra amount in the urine so you wouldn’t want to do this just before a drug test.  You can decrease the amount of THC in the urine by diluting it with electrolyte water which has been drank before a drug test.  You can decrease the amount in the hair by bleaching and dying with an ammonia containing product.  In the saliva, just not smoking for 3 days will be sufficient to clear the saliva of THC residues.  All other drugs will for the most part have cleared the body within one week.  Drug residues will be detectable in the hair for 90 days.  This is because they only test the 1.5 inches of hair closest to the scalp, which gives a 90 day window as hair grows 1.5 inches in 90 days.

How Do THC detox and THC Cleanse Remedies Work? The Science

Pee Detoxification

The way piss detoxification products work, products like Mega Clean Detoxify, THC Detox, and Stinger Detox drink is by a process called dilution.  You can also do dilution at home.

Dilution will dilute the urine so that drug metabolites are in too low a concentration to be detected.  You cannot get the same effect by simply adding water to the urine directly into the sample cup for the following reasons:

Smell: The smell of the urine must be normal.

Color: The color of the urine must be yellowish.  Yellow urine indicates normal levels of b-vitamins.

Specific gravity: The specific gravity of the urine must be between around 1.003 and 1.030.

Creatinine: The creatinine content must be normal.  Creatinine is a biproduct of the muscle’s use of creatine monohydrate for muscle contractions.  A level too low can indicate kidney disease as the metabolites are filtered out of the blood into the urine.  Too high a level in the urine likely means you are taking too much creatine, while high levels in the blood indicate impaired kidney function.  In the urine, intentional dilution can be indicated by low urine creatinine and attempts to mask low creatine that go overboard can result in high urinary creatinine levels.  High or low creatinine may be flagged.

Electrolytes: Urine should have normal levels of electrolytes, i.e. sodium, magnesium, chloride, and potassium molecules.  It should be detectable and not overly diluted.

Proteins, albumin, and urea might be tested for to authenticate the urine sample.  These should be detectable and not overly diluted.

Detox drinks and cleanse pills provide water, sugar, electrolytes, diuretic herbs, b-vitamins, and creatine which give diluted urine all the qualities of non-diluted urine so that you pass the test yet have fewer drug metabolites in the system compared to how much water and other metabolic biproducts are contained.

Typically, you will consume about 20 ounces of a detox drink an hour before the test.  You will pee a few times, then submit a diluted sample with all of the right testing parameters but without the drug metabolites.

Hair detox

Published scientific experiments demonstrate that bleaching and dyeing the hair will remove a percentage of drug metabolites, in some cases enough to make them undetectable.  The reduction in drug metabolites appears  equal to the damage done to the hair; therefore, the more the hair is fried, the better it will work (Jurado, Kintz and Menendez).

Saliva Detox

Saliva drug tests only test for drug residues left in the mouth by oral ingestion of pills or by smoking.  Therefore, simply washing the mouth thoroughly can reduce detectable metabolites.  You can use mouthwash or peroxide.  Of course, merely abstaining for 3 days is the most efficient way to detox.

Marijuana Cleanse Plan

Most marijuana tests will be a urine drug test.  This is the type of test used by most employers and governments.

To cleanse your urine of weed the fastest, you can:

  1. Use a detox drink. Grade A+
  2. Make your own detox drink. Grade A
  3. Use detox pills. Grade B
  4. Sweat it out with exercise and/or sauna. Grade D.
  5. Do a cleansing flush with fruit pectin. Grade B.

We will discuss each approach briefly.  Some people prefer to use more ‘natural’ approaches such as exercise or fruit pectin.  However, most detox drinks contain only vitamins, electrolytes, water, sugar, and herbs and are therefore fairly natural based.

1. What are the best detox drinks for weed?

  1. Clear Choice Rescue cleanse. A+
  2. Total Eclipse Rely Detox Drink. A+
  3. Champ Flush Out Detox Drink. A
  4. Detoxify Mega Clean. A

These are the best detox drinks.  Most of these run between $ 12 and $ 30 for about 20 ounces of fluid.  Follow the directions.  Most directions say to drink the contents, refill the bottle and drink an equal amount of water, pee a few times.  Then go to your test.  You start an hour before your test.

2.  Make your own detox drink.

To make your own detox drink, you need:

  • B-vitamins
  • Caffeine, coffee, or tea
  • Creatine
  • Natural adulterants at normal doses (papain, iodine, zinc)
  • Salt, sugar, baking soda
  • Water
  • Diuretic like decaf coffee, tea, or cranberry juice.

Add ½ teaspoon of lite salt, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and a teaspoon of sugar to 20 ounces of water.  Drink it down.  Then drink down another 20 ounces of pure water.  You might instead have some diluted decaf coffee, or decaf tea with your second drink to get a diuretic effect.  Do not drink an overdose of caffeine and go into the test nervous and jumpy.  Take 2 to 5 grams of creatine, a pill of b-vitamins, and 1/3 pill of zinc (zinc can cause nausea, but is shown to reduce detection of drugs in the urine).  Do not take more than a normal supplemental dose of any adulterant.  It’s not necessary and it will make you nauseous.  This process should be fairly comfortable.  Now, do this an hour before your test.  Pee a few times, then go to your test with a 3rd or 4th pee.  There’s no need to shove everything down at once and make yourself sick.  Take it easy, give yourself some time to take each ingredient.  If you are a person who normally takes workout supplements, this is not different, everything is natural.

3.  Detox pills

Detox pills should contain everything listed to make your own detox drink.  It may contain also some diuretic herbs.  The only difference is that you supply the water yourself and swallow the pill.

Toxin rid is a popular pill based regimen with somewhat complicated instructions.  It is very popular.

4. Natural Detox: Exercise and Sauna

Some people want to sweat out the weed with exercise or sauna.  We have not found evidence that this is effective.  Also, if you exercise and start burning fat, THC metabolites will be released into your blood stream.  You might actually raise the amount of THC in the blood and urine if you don’t stop fat burning before your test comes around.

Sauna releases sweat which may contain THC metabolites but it is not clear that enough THC can come out in this way.  Only do this if you happen to like saunas and you know how to sauna safely.  Trying to exercise and sauna the THC out can be dangerous of course.  People who try to sweat it out can get dangerous electrolyte imbalances because water and electrolytes will come out, but not very much THC which is trapped in the fat cells.  Fainting and heart problems can happen due to dehydration.

5 Fruit Pectin

Buy Certo Sure Jell and a bottle of Gatorade, about 20 ounces.  Drop the whole pack of Sure Jell into your Gatorade and drink it down.  Over the course of several hours, you are to follow this up with as much as 2 liters of water with electrolytes (lite salt, baking soda).  Do not drink pure water without electrolytes as this can cause water intoxication and brain swelling.  Be ready to evacuate your bowels.  Add b-vitamins and a dose of creatine so the urine doesn’t look dilute.  This is done several hours before the test, many people attest to its effectiveness.  Be sure you do in depth research before trying this method.  This method might be effective for you if you truly just want to get the drug out of your body and you’re not trying to pass a drug test.  This can be a true detox rather than just dilution like the previously discussed remedies.

Marijuana Withdrawal Symptoms

If you stop using marijuana before a test, you could get marijuana withdrawal symptoms.  These are not as bad as alcohol or opioid withdrawal but they can make you uncomfortable.

  • Hot/cold flashes
  • Irritableness
  • Anxiousness
  • Depressive symptoms
  • Shaking
  • Fever
  • Loss of appetite
  • Sweating
  • Restlessness
  • Digestive pain
  • Insomnia
  • Fatigue
  • Headache

The irritability may linger for days or a week.  After you detox, you might need to seek treatment for any underlying anxiety or depressive disorders.  This withdrawal normally does not require hospitalization.  If you have severe panic or depression, see a mental health specialist or tell your doctor.

Conclusion: Best way to detox your body from thc to clean your system for a drug test

Dilution using the top detox drinks is the best way of detoxing from THC.  For hair tests, bleaching and dyeing using the Jerry G method has scientific backing as an effective remedy.  For mouth swab saliva tests, just brush well and use a peroxide mouthwash.  Good luck and toke up.
