THC can be detected in your bloodstream the second it gets inhaled, and it stays in your plasma for several hours, depending on the amount and frequency of weed consumed. A review was published in 2004, which revealed that THC concentration in plasma peaks just for about three to eight minutes after inhalation and then drops down rapidly with a half-life of about half an hour only. The THC stays detectable for almost five hours; on the contrary, THC-COOH can stay detectable for up to twenty-five days. That means while the THC itself will not stay for long, the THC metabolite THC-COOH can still be found in your system after several weeks of ingestion. THC can be present in your body from the second it is ingested to up to three months. Pro tip: You must avoid and/or wash all items that you may have previously used to avoid any accidental reintroduction of the toxins into your system Visit: https://www.urineworld.com/
