Will activated charcoal help rid your body of THC?

Activated charcoal is a porous material with a large surface area that is ideal for stripping undesired compounds from your body. It however can not be used as a masking agent or an instant detox agent, because removal of enough THC to pass a urine style drug test normally takes 4-7 days. (Assuming normal body weight) This supplement is taken after every meal will plenty of water up to 4 times daily. I have found that taking activated charcoal in regular doses before I purge my body helps lower the time to remove all THC. This method has worked for me on numerous occasions. I recommend taking 4 pills with each meal for 5 days with atleast 6-8 glasses of water a day. I have also found that a glass of cranberry juice, which is recommended for kidney and urinary track infections by doctors also aids the process. Also before I take a drug test for a nice job, I go ahead and spend the 12 dollars at the local drug store to buy a home THC test. Happy Smoking!
