Marijuana is one of the most common illegal drugs that is prepared from the Cannabis plant genus and is one of the widely used illegal drugs in the world. The compound that makes Marijuana psychoactive or in simple words, gives a high is THC also known as Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. When THC enters the body through marijuana smoke, there is an euphoric feeling with light headedness and other effects.
Prolonged or consistent use of marijuana can create mild to severe problems. In many countries including the United States, there are many scenarios where you are screened for drug testing and testing for marijuana is the most common amongst many big name companies and other places.
Marijuana drug testing is usually done through the urine. A test can easily detect the presence of THC 2-5 hours after the use of the drug. However, most people are curious to know how long their urine will still be detected after use. The length of how long thc can be detected in the body through drug testing depends on frequency of use, the amount used and the body fat and weight of the person using it.

If you are a regular marijuana user, THC will remain in your body for quite long even after you have quit using the drug. In some scenarios, the presence of THC can be detected even 2 months after you have quit it. For anyone who is an infrequent user of marijuana, the content of THC can remain up to 2 weeks in the body before it completely goes away. Many factors play a role here so it is always a good idea to test it yourself or find from anyone who has been through the test and has used marijuana.
Some people are also unaware about how the test actually works. If you are new and want to know how the test works, it is quite simple. To perform the test yourself, simply collect urine sample at any time of the day inside a dry and clean container. Presuming you have already bought the drug test card from a pharmacy, dip the card into the urine specimen and take it out after 5 minutes to see if your results are positive or negative. For detailed instruction, you can always read more on the drug testing card you buy.
There is another concern whether marijuana drug test can appear positive if you have had second hand smoke. Second hand smoke really doesn’t affect the test because research has proven that there is very little THC released in the air when smoke is exhaled. If you are in a confine space for a long time and someone has been smoking nonstop for hours, then there is a little chance of marijuana drug test appearing to be positive, but this is extremely unlikely and very rare.
Before taking a drug test, there are also various methods to make THC leave your body. This can primarily be done by detoxifying your body through a special diet.
