The duration that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from inhaled cannabis remains detectable in the body is a common concern for individuals subject to drug testing. Various factors influence this timeframe, including the frequency and amount of cannabis consumption, individual metabolism, body composition, and the specific testing method employed.
Understanding the factors affecting THC detectability is important for making informed decisions regarding cannabis use, particularly in contexts where drug screening is required. Historical trends in drug testing sensitivity and evolving cannabis consumption patterns have further complicated the predictability of elimination times. Awareness of these factors promotes responsible decision-making.
