So, you've enjoyed a delicious edible. Now you're probably wondering: how long will it stay in your system? Unlike smoking, edibles are metabolized differently, leading to a potentially longer and more intense experience, and subsequently, a longer detection window.
Several factors influence how long THC from edibles lingers. These include your metabolism, frequency of use, dosage, and even body fat percentage. Generally, THC metabolites can be detected in urine for up to 30 days in frequent users, while infrequent users might only test positive for a few days. Blood tests have a shorter detection window, typically a few days to a week. Hair follicle tests can detect THC for up to 90 days, but are less common.
Remember, this is just a general guideline. If you have a drug test coming up, the best course of action is always abstinence. Enjoy responsibly, and be aware of how edibles affect you!
