How Soon A Person Has To Stop Smoking Before A Drug Test?

hi, i have a urine test today. i smoked with my mates nearly everyday from new years to march 30th. ive been clean since other than a few tokes on a joint last wednesday. I am 6 ft 3 and weigh 80 kg, and i go gym 2/3 times a week. have i got a good chance of passing? I read that the stuff from before (new years) takes up to a month so that should be out of my system and the one off joint takes up to a week which should be fine shouldn t it?

Hi,

The main question still remains: how will or why don't you quit? Since clearing is not a treatment of the addiction, it is the mental conviction of the person to stay away from the same, whether or not taking for recreational use. The type, amount, and frequency of the drug being taken, along with other hidden factors determine how long it will stay in your system.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood, Ayurveda Specialist
