Are Marijuana components water-soluble and are traces remain in the body for weeks?

The chemicals that remain in your system and are detectable by laboratory testing are not water soluble; they're lipid soluble. That's one of the reasons they remain so long.


Is marijuana fat-soluble?

In addition to being alcohol soluble, THC (the compound of interest in marijuana) is also fat soluble. This is a reason marijuana can be found using drug tests: THC accumulates in the fatty tissues over time. Popular extraction mediums include alcohol, butter, and milk. Erowid has a FAQ on eating cannabis that includes instructions for making butter: http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_faq_eat.shtml

How much water per gram of marijuana do you need to get clean?

Water does NOT help remove marijuana from your system, since it is stored in your fat cells. Fatty substances are not water-soluble, and thus, water does not flush marijuana from your system. See the Related Question below.


How many bottles of water do you drink to clean out your system of marijuana?

THC (the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana) is fat-soluble; it stores itself in your fat cells. So, drinking water will NOT help remove it from your system. See the Related Question below.


How many water pills should you take before your drug test?

Marijuana is a fat soluble drug which means its stored in your fat. Water pills aren't really going to help you if you want to avoid detection of marijuana. Also, marijuana technically stays in your hair follicles for over a year.


If i was to take niacin drink vinegar and drink cranberry juice will i be clean for a drug test?

No liquid will help remove marijuana from your system. Marijuana is not water-soluble, but fat-soluble. It stores itself in your fat cells. Since fatty substances are not water soluble (think about what happens when you mix oil and water) drinking liquids will do nothing to clean your system of weed.


You quit using 2 weeks ago can it be detected in urine?

Marijuana is a fat soluble, and can store in the fat cells of the body. THC in Marijuana can be detected for up to 10 days if smoked occasionally, as long as 45 days if smoked regular.


If you drink water every day for 45 days will your system be clean from marijuana?

If you don't use marijuana for 45 days your system will be fairly clean from marijuana even if you don't drink water... probably clean enough to pass a drug test, at any rate.One problem is that the active compounds of marijuana ... the ones that drug tests look for ... are more soluble in fat than in water. So drinking water doesn't help as much as you might think.


Why do marijuana take so long to leave you urine?

Marijuana contains THC. Because THC contains so many carbon atoms and so few oxygen atoms, it likes to deposit itself in the fat molecules of human beings. Because of this, we say THC is fat soluble. (Compare this to cocaine which has twice as many oxygen atoms, and instead likes to deposit itself into urine. We say cocaine is water soluble because of this.) Because the molecules like to stay in fat, they take a long time to leave the body. (Compare this to cocaine which leaves the body quickly through urination.) Remember, your body doesn't burn fat very fast, but you pee many times in a day. So marijuana can show up for weeks or months, while other drugs which are water soluble leave in a matter of hours or days.
