Blood draw and THC - how long in system?

My annual physical is next Wed and I’m getting a basic panel drawn. My job doesn’t require or test for thc so this is just a basic checkup I do yearly. I haven’t disclosed that I partake. My 2 questions are:

Would thc show up?
If so, what is the length of time its latent in your body on average (I know there’s lots of variables).. ie, when should I stop my nightly session?

Physicals don’t draw the extra vial to test for THC unless requested by employer. As far as how long, it can a week if you just partake at night.

Blood tests for THC and not the metabolites that linger longer. It took me 7 mos to pee clean for probation.

I have had good luck taking 1 gram of pure ascorbic acid mixed in water once a day for 3 days before being tested to confuse the test.
Most standard test panels don’t have THC testing, not unless it’s asked for specifically. If you are being looked at in an emergency room setting some jurisdictions will test so they now if there could be a problem with treatments. I have a medical card so I just tell them upfront.

Blood and hair can take a while. Urine you can fake a clean in a day or 2. Thc holds in fat. You work out you are toast both urine and blood.
Had to “test” many team members. I warned, advised and put it off long as I could. Dumbasses didnt follow suggestions and failed. Smart ones payed attention.
NEVER first 2 morning pee.
As for blood..good luck. Dont burn fat before it. Will load the blood with stored thc from fat.
Whole Foods before Amazon never a test. ALL hippy stoners top to bottom.
I would wager it is not in this annual. If I HAD to bust someone, usually looking to, I hit a random first thing in the morning and BUSTED.

Synthetic 5. Comes in a 3 ounce bottle. Put it in the arm pit for an hour before you have to do a urine test and it will be to temperature. Been working for years. I don’t have to worry about it anymore but it worked for me.

Sorry but I am confused by what you are saying, I am interested as I always take risk because my job tests but if you could clarify that would be great.

Which part? Blood and hair long term. Urine short. Exercise releases cannabinoids into bloodstream.
Best practice is abstinence. I had to for a couple of decades choosing job and family over weed.

I played this game for many moons with UA’s. @Storm nailed it. Abstinence is best. I failed a few in the end, but for about 2 years, I’d only smoke on Friday nights. Could pass one Monday morning. The all day every day builds up. Low usage can be masked easily with water. I’d drink 2 bottles at once, piss once, after that second piss was clean. Id be missing every 10-15 minutes for 2 hours. If you have a small amount in your system, it can’t trickle enough into the piss between pisses to fail. Id buy the 15ng cutoff test strips 50 at a time. I started smoking more and eventually failed one. Thought I was done for. They just moved me into the office. I was taking a DOT every other month.

Also Whole Foods before Amazon never a test.

All hippy stoners top to bottom.

Those were the statements I didn’t understand. I thought you had some good tips to help pass the tests and was asking clarification.

I’m a heavy smoker. I tested positive for 3 months straight when I was young on probation. I thought blood test was less accurate.

I also super physically active now, I quit for 10 days and took the cleanse product for UA’s and passed.

If they do gas assay it measures down to 5 ppm (or whatever unit of measurement they use)

Instant tests only measure down to 50 ppm.

Again I was of the understanding blood test are less reliable for THC

Googled it.

I know its AI but this was what I always thought was the case from when I was on probation.

Urine and hair are the standards. Saliva is only accurate up to a few hours after smoking I heard

Ahh. Those were just comments.
Dont give first urine of the day or second.
Hair/blood HARD to beat.
Exercise releases cannabinoids into blood/urine..avoid before test.
Abstinence.
Hope that cleared it up. Whole Foods comment was a culture comment about a company.

Thanks bro hope I didn’t irritate you by asking, it’s hard to tell through text sometimes what a person is meaning. Personally I make too much money myself to smoke as my company does test if anything happens at work and has a zero tolerance for thc. Also too many benefits to lose. I still get tempted especially since I’m a grower. I so wish I could partake.

Nope. HATED randoms. Not as worried about companies since 50+% of the country is friendly.
I am retired and give 2 shits what ANYONE says. I mind my house but still remember the strain it put us under to risk.
I quit risking for years. Once i hit “Whole Foods” the company culture of dirty, organic hippies never tested. Some SUPER stoned retreats as management brainstorming how to keep regular grocery chains at bay. We lost. CEO sold us out to fricken Bezos. Half of us retired immediatley.

Interesting. I’m a very thin woman, started my journey only within the past few years but even from the get-go my tolerance level was really high.. 20 mg edibles resulted and still do, in a really slight effect. Smoking it makes it hit faster (not uncommon). I do keto and have a low body fat% but a slow metabolism so I just don’t know what to think.

I’m appreciating all the comments! I wish there wasn’t such a lingering stigma. It’s a plant, a miracle and it’s my wish that more people discover the benefits. You can lead a productive, enriched life when you use it wisely. We’re living proof (Mr SOH as well).

Omgosh. After all that, they somehow messed up the order/appt and no blood draw. Heh.

Oh well. Breaks are good right? :laughing::laughing:
