Caught smoking it, now I have to stop and I’m going to have a checkup in a month, but I wonder, if I do stop, will it still be in my blood? Suppose it stays in my blood for two months, then I am ‘a user’ anyway, even if I haven’t done it for a month 🙁
Answer
Dear Yves
After smoking a single joint, the traces of cannabinoids are usually completely gone after 1 to 3 days. After prolonged chronic heavy use this can be longer, up to two weeks or more, but after a month of complete abstinence there really won’t be much more detectable.
Whether you’ve been caught or not, whether you’re allowed or not, there is another very good reason to stop using tobacco and joint use. Did you know:
(1) In Belgium, nearly twenty thousand people die per year from tobacco use, that is fifty deaths per day in Belgium alone, every day?
(2) tobacco in combination with marijuana proves to be even more harmful? Some studies indicate that 3 joints correspond to the harmful effect of a full pack of cigarettes.
Turn the knob and stop using tobacco and soft drugs completely. It’s still possible now. Don’t do it so much because you got caught and controlled, but do it for yourself and out of self-respect. Your body, your environment and later your own person will really thank you.
Good luck. Also check out the quoted website.
