Can marijuana show up in pubic hair?

Yes it can be detected through pubic hair. It can last up to one year in the pubic hair because this hair grows slower than the hair that is on your head. If the hair was being tested on the head it can be traced up to 90 days.

What helps to pass a marijuana drug test?

Detection time for THC depends on multiple factors such as body type, metabolism, drug habits etc. I can give you approximate times, but in every persons organism it can last for a different time. For a habitual usage it takes a lot. The speed at which marijuana leaves your body depends both on the speed of your metabolism, as well as on the half life of THC. It's estimated that THC can have a half life that ranges anywhere from 1-10 days. It's almost impossible to find out what that half life is, which means that it is very difficult to use it to calculate how long it will take for all of the THC to leave your body. THC is fat soluble, and it gets stored in your fat cells. Cleaning it out of your lipid tissue is very difficult. Many herbal products claim to clean out your system, yet they do nothing to remove THC by home remedies from fat cells. Unfortunately, this rumor will not die. Drinking water or exercising will help in some way, but you need more than two months to drink enormous quantity of liquids to get clean naturally. And this will also dilute your urine and you will not pass the test again. .

Is marijuana good or bad for you?

How long does marijuana stay in your urine?

For a regular smoker, anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, or a month on average. You could give or take a week or so depending on your weight and metabolism.
2-5 days for single use / up to 12 weeks for habitual use. But allot depending on your metabolism, height and weight, amount of consumption , potency of the marijuana. Home test yourself.
i would have to say if ur fat then 3 4 weeks but if ur fit then i would say 2 2 1/2 weeks cuz THC likes to stick to fat cells so i would just start burninh somr fat cells man. hope that helped u out peace.

Can weed kill you?

Not directly. The active agent, THC, has some side effects on physiology and psychology, but addiction has fewer withdrawal symptoms than other illegal drugs.

Still , there are lung effects analogous to cigarette smoking after chronic use, and the loss of proper judgment while "under the influence" is similar to that of alcohol use. This can result in accidental injuries to the user and others, some of which could be severe or fatal. The illegal nature of the drug also brings the risk of incarceration, which adds additional risk of physical harm.

Who banned marijuana?

1937 saw the passage of the Marijuana Tax Act in the United States. Harry J. Anslinger (Bureau of Narcotics Commissioner) testified in hearings on the subject that the hemp plant needed to be banned because it had a violent "effect on the degenerate races". This specifically referred to Mexican immigrants who had entered the country, seeking jobs during the Great Depression. The law passed quickly and with little debate. The American Medical Association (AMA) protested the law soon after, both on the grounds of actual disagreement with the law and the supporters' lies on the subject. Anslinger and others had claimed the AMA had vocalized support when, in fact, the opposite was true. The passing of this law, along with the subsequent lies regarding the effects of cannabis, have been deemed both a conspiracy and a racist act directed at Mexicans. Although the latter is true, some (such as Jack Herer) have argued that the law was passed in order to prohibit industrial hemp from becoming a competing industry with paper and cotton, but more importantly, newly discovered plastics (DuPont's Nylon), and the fuel industry.

It wasn't until president Nixon's war on drugs that it became a big issue, and the rest of the world was forced into following suite by the UN and the united states during the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in 1961, the Convention on Psychotropic Substances in 1971 and the United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances in 1988.

Answer

The first marijuana law found so far was a 1905 El Paso, Texas law. It, and most of the other laws in the southwest that followed, was motivated by racial prejudice against Mexican immigrants. These laws had nothing to do with the actual effects of the marijuana. In fact, cannabis in the form of hemp was a common crop in many of these states, and tinctures of cannabis were included in hundreds of common medicines. The purpose of the laws was to discriminate against Mexicans and other racial minorities. This same purpose is also found in the history of the laws against opiates and cocaine.

The first state law was a 1913 California law that received little notice. It was promoted by the pharmaceutical industry that saw marijuana as a competitor. That was followed by a 1914 Utah level that was simply a Mormon religious prohibition enacted into law. By 1930, about thirty states had passed laws against marijuana for one reason or another. In the southwest and south, it was primarily racial prejudice against Mexicans and other racial minorities. In the northern states it was primarily the fear that heroin addiction would lead to the use of marijuana -- exactly the opposite of the modern marijuana gateway myth.

As far as the people involved, two people get primary credit. One is Harry Anslinger, who actively promoted Reefer Madness because he knew the marijuana laws were unenforceable. Therefore, he reasoned that the only possible method was to scare people so bad that they would never touch it. His plan worked for a while.

The other is Dr. James C. Munch of Temple University. There were only two doctors who testified for the congressional hearings. One was the representative of the American Medical Association. He said that there was no evidence that marijuana was a dangerous drug. The committee basically told him to shut up and leave.

The other was Dr. James C. Munch. His sole claim to fame was that he had injected some extract of cannabis directly into the brains of 300 dogs, and two of them had died. When they asked him what he concluded from that, he said he didn't know. However, he was the only doctor in the US who agreed that marijuana should be illegal, so his testimony was accepted, and he later became the US Official Expert on Marihuana. While serving in that capacity, he also testified in court, under oath, that marijuana would make your fangs grow six inches long and drip with blood and, when he tried it, it turned him into a bat.

Anslinger served as director of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1930-1962. Dr. Munch served as US Official Expert on Marihuana from 1938-1962.

Will marijuana ever be legal?

Legalizing Marijuana Opinions:
  • Very possible, some states allow it for medical purposes. The process may take quite a while, but there it is likely that marijuana will be legalized eventually, as the laws become more and more relaxed.
  • No, because pot is so easily grown that the government won't be able to make money from it.
  • Yes, the evidence is overwhelming that the marijuana laws were absolute lunacy from the very beginning. The public is slowly waking up to the long-term fraud.
  • Very likely, I live in Alaska and our state laws say you can have a certain amount in your home if you're 21 or older, of course the federal laws all over rule it. But if federal laws change then less people go to jail, the government could control it, keep it away from minors, and tax the production and sales of it. People need to sign more online petitions to get it going, it's the easiest way
  • I believe that it should be because marijuana is less harmful than alcohol. I think that there should be a set age limit though like there is for alcohol. Kids are still going to smoke though just like they drink underage.
  • In many countries marijuana is legal and openly available in legal establishments, or at defined amounts for personal consumptions, or for medical purposes. So the answer to the question is yes marijuana will be legalized as it already is legal. As for the answer in the (unknown) jurisdiction that originated the questions, this will depend on local politics.

How much weed does it take to get high?

It takes as much as you feel you need. I usually have a hard time finding pot, so one of my favorite ways to smoke is with my pipe, taking small hits, holding for several seconds and exhaling slowly (like the pros). The effect is sensational and can take less than half a bowl. On the other hand, sometimes when I binge I feel like I am never high enough and want to keep smoking. "How much weed does it take to get high?" As much as you want.

How do you smoke a joint?

  • If you don't know how, don't start! Some people will smoke A joint at a party instead of drinking alcohol because they don't get a hang over, but, sometimes some people can be heavy users of Marijuana and it DOES do brain cell damage no matter what others tell you. (there is no real evidence that marijuana does any neurological damage, and some studies have suggested that THC, marijuana's active ingredient, may actually stimulate neurogenesis, the creation and repair of braincells)
  • Put the joint up to your mouth held by your thumb and index finger somewhat pinching the end of the joint, but not to the point of closing the mouthpiece of the joint. Put your lips on the joint and inhale(somewhat like sucking on a straw with less puckering of the lips), if you did it correctly, you'll cough. The next time you take a hit you can limit the amount of smoke you inhale so that you do not cough as much

If you were around marijuana is it in your system?

You smoke about half a joint a day how long would it take to get out of your system you weight 204 lbs?

Depends on how long you've been smoking a half a joint a day for. A month, a year, years, etc. Also, it depends on what your body fat % is. If you've smoked a half a joint a day for months or years, anywhere between 30 - 120 days to leave your system. More days if you carry a lot of body fat, and more toward the 30 day mark if you are lean. Sweating (exercising) coupled with consuming a lot of water daily will help shorten this period (slightly). If you are worried about this, then probably you should just "relax" on the weekend. That way your system won't be so saturated with THC. Hope this helps.

What are the effects of mixing Lexapro and marijuana?

Mixing Lexapro (an antidepressant) and marijuana can lead to increased side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. It may also worsen the symptoms of depression or anxiety. Combining these substances can also increase the risk of experiencing mood swings or erratic behavior. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before mixing these substances.

What are the short and long term effects of cannabis?

The short-term effects of marijuana include problems with memory and learning, distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch), trouble with thinking and problem solving, loss of motor coordination, increased heart rate, and anxiety. These effects are even greater when other drugs are mixed with marijuana. A user may also experience dry mouth and throat.

Marijuana smoke contains some of the same cancer-causing compounds as tobacco, sometimes in higher concentrations. Studies show that someone who smokes five joints per week may be taking in as many cancer-causing chemicals as someone who smokes a full pack of cigarettes every day.

After quitting THC use how long is it detectable?

It is less detectable in urine if you consume high amounts of water prior to being tested. Otherwise it will remain in your body fat for roughly 3 weeks depending on amount of usage.

What this person is saying is that, well lets say you weight 195 my weight and stop, all that THC built up and it stores in your fat cells, where it remains until broke down or released. and yes the longer you smoke and the more you weight the longer it stays detectable. However from personal experience at 195lbs after a week of just regular exercise and dumping water like no other and staying on a high fiber diet, as gross as it sounds your stool is nothing but waste and fat especially if they float. after that by you a at home testing kit if pass on that go take your test and even if you think your clean still start peeing then fill to the line using the mid stream, then finish in the toilet. And going in with watered down urine in some cases raise a eyebrow and if anal about it can have more in depth testing done
