How Long Does Marijuana Remain In The System?

Hey my name is jack, I recently tried weed almost 2 months ago. Ever since then I recently feel different, not my self. I feel like sometimes everything is fake & I get this random high feeling everyone once in awhile. Have u ever heard of this before? If so how long does this usually last? Btw I haven’t smoked since the day I first tried it.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The blood levels are quite short, about the length of time of effect and urine levels vary. However, unless you are a daily heavy user, it stays in at most a week, and with less than heavy use, one episode lasts about 5 days.

Psychological effects have a more variable effect, but they are not directly due to a detectable substance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The marijuana effects last only as long as the high, a short time effect.

The publicized phenomena of marijuana coming out in urine tests months after use is:
1) Only on the test and not the feeling and
2) Requires the person to have used a lot of marijuana for a long time.

Psychological effects are common and can have a highly variable chronology.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
