As New York embraces adult-use cannabis, users increasingly need to understand THC's duration in the body due to potential drug testing. Unlike alcohol, THC's metabolites remain long after usage varies with frequency and body fat. Smoking, edibles, or tinctures all contribute to how long THC stays. Factors influencing detection times include usage frequency—daily users retain THC longer—and body fat percentage. The primary metabolite, THC-COOH, is detectable through various tests, complicating the landscape for new users and medical consumers alike wanting to navigate consumption responsibly.
"Understanding how long THC - the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis - lingers in your body is important for both new and experienced users."
"THC leaves behind metabolites - chemical byproducts that linger much longer than the actual high, and the most commonly measured metabolite is THC-COOH."
"There’s no single answer to how long weed stays in your system, because detection depends heavily on the type of test being administered."
"Several variables affect detection times, including frequency of use and body fat percentage, making it impossible to offer a precise answer for everyone."
