I have a problem, i stopped smoking marijuana for about four weeks now, this friday july 6, i cheated myself by smoking half a joint. I feel so quilty and depressed that i did that and i know i let my girlfriend down aswell. I just took a home Drug test and it came out possitive. The reason i took that test because i just went for a job interview and got hired. I wont start working until next week because they want me to get a drug test...i failed the one at home and i dont want to fail the company's drug test..My question is, how long does it stay in my system? I drank a flush yesterday morning and it still shows possitve.. what can i do?
please help

" Ok - I don't know about a "flush" but I do know that Detox drinks only work for about 12 hours. You are supposed to use them the day of a drug test.

Chances are that you will still have THC in your system, especially if you need to be clean by next week. Depending on how long you were using before you quit, THC can still be detected in your urine for up to THREE MONTHS after you stop using. Most likely, the only way you'll pass your test is by creating a false negative.

Either invest in a Detox drink or in some Pectin. I have had friends that have passed tests with both methods. A Detox drink is going to run you a good $30 or so. Pectin is cheaper, it's a substance used in making preserves, and you should be able to find it in most grocery stores.

You'll probably want to invest in another home drug test, especially if you use the Pectin.

Make sure that you've used the restroom sometime before the day of your test.

Oh, and if you do want to completely flush the THC out of your system for good (after the drug test) you can exercise. THC is stored in fat cells, so when you burn fat you get rid of it. Just make sure you wait until AFTER the drug test, because you don't want to be adding extra THC to your urine!

Good luck! "

" Hiya. Scientists are not exactly sure but THC could well stay in the body foreveras it settles in the fat cells. However if you are a frequent smoker it shows up in the blood for 2 or more weeks after giving up and in the urine for 2 weeks to a month. "

" Marijuana stays in your system for 30 days and even after that it can be found in your hair follicles after 30 days. It has the longest drug detox out there.
Hope that helps. Betty "
