Drug Testing FAQ-how long will a urine drug test stay positive after last Cannabis use ?

This is a frequent question regarding urine drug testing as Cannabis stays in the system much longer than other drugs, and can still be detected on a urine drug test for up 30 days in some individuals.

After a one off Cannabis use Cannabis will have cleared the system and not be detectable in most peoples urine sample by about 5-7 days. However this is not always so as Cannabis clearance is affected by many factors including the individuals fat levels. As Cannabis can be stored in the body in fat a leaner individual will clear Cannabis from their system faster than an obese individual.

What other factors affect how quickly Cannabis clears from the system ?

  • body fat
  • total body mass
  • frequency of use
  • strength of Cannabis used eg Cannabis resin & skunk contains more of the active THC
  • duration of Cannabis use

FAQ Cannabis Drug Tests

How long does Cannabis stay positive on a drug test ?

This we find is a common question and something that can cause confusion , as the amount of time Cannabis stays in the system can be very variable. A Cannabis urine drug test detects Cannaboids in urine, and as these are stored in fatty tissue thay can be released for a extended period after the exposure to cannabis occurred.

A urine Cannabis drug test can stay positive for up to 30 days after last Cannabis use in certain cases, although in most cannabis users the drug will be out of their system in 6 -10 days, depending on duration of drug use. The amount of time Cannabis stay in the body depends on many factors such as, the amount  taken, its strength, purity, the body weight of the person being tested and rate of metabolism, and whether they are a casual Cannabis user or a long term user.

More info about Skunk

Just read this article about teenagers & skunk from March 16, 2009.

It is quite a long article so I have just given you a taster below. Well worth a read as contains lots of information about skunk as well as a ‘what would you do if your teenagers was smoking skunk’ question and answer session

 Here is an extract from the article below:

Skunk: “Kids think the strong stuff is the best stuff”

There was a furore last week when the novelist Julie Myerson wrote about evicting her teenage son for his “skunk addiction”. She justified it by saying that Britain needed to wake up to the “emergency out there called skunk”.

Myerson’s outburst may have seemed slightly hysterical to anyone whose rite of passage included smoking a joint at some hazy point in the past, yet everything about skunk is more powerful than what came before. Its strength and its pervasiveness were cited by the Government as its reasons for raising cannabis back to a Class B drug in January.

Skunk has created a new domestic drugs industry, making millions for illegal farmers - mainly Vietnamese immigrants - on Britain’s industrial estates, and it has done so in an astonishingly short time. Police seizures show that it accounted for barely 10 per cent of the cannabis sold here in the late 1990s; last year it was 80 per cent.

What struck me, talking to teenagers in the course of writing this piece, was the sheer rapidity of this transformation. I’m in my thirties, yet what young people now regard as “normal” cannabis was unheard of in this country a decade ago. “Skunk is horribly strong - you can practically feel your brain cells knocking off,” says Ben, a 19-year-old student. “But it wasn’t that we asked for it. Growing up in rural Herefordshire, it was all we could get.”

What is Skunk and how does it differ from the usual Cannabis?

Skunk is an addictive and powerful form of cannabis that has been linked to mental health problems in users.

Skunk is a particularly potent form of Cannabis and has been linked to schizophrenia in several studies. It is thought that up to 25% of new cases of Schizophrenia could be linked to its use.

Young men who smoke cannabis seem to be particularly at risk of developing mental health problems which include loss of concentration, paranoia, aggressiveness and possible development of psychosis

Because of its potency users are more likely to become addicted to Skunk and may require a detox to come off it. Withdrawal symptoms from Skunk may include anxiety, sleep disturbance, headaches, mood swings, & tremors.

Some clinical studies have suggested that prolonged Skunk use causes brain damage visible on brain scans

The recent reclassification of Cannabis & the government TV campaign about the dangers of Cannabis has sought to highlight the mental health effects of cannabis use on young people. Much of the cannabis on the streets today is much more potent and addictive than in the past and the dangers to users are increased
