7 Ways to Get Marijuana Out of the Body Fast

THC, the active ingredient in marijuana that makes you high, can stay in your body for days and even weeks if you have a high dose of marijuana. Many factors such as fat distribution, how much marijuana you smoke, and the sensitivity of the drug test control the process of discovering marijuana in the body. (1, 2, 3) Here are 7 ways to get marijuana out of your body fast.

7. Drink Plenty of Water

Drinking plenty of water is one of the most recommended ways to get marijuana out of your body faster.  When you drink plenty of water, your urine will be too dilute to take the best reading. Drink nearly 3 gallons of water per day until the day of the test. (4, 5)

6. Exercise

Cannabis is stored mainly in the fat cells; that is why doing more exercises is great for getting rid of the marijuana in your body. Exercise burns fat cells. If you have a test after a few days, try to exercise as hard as possible. Combine cardio with weight lifting for the best results. (6, 7)

5. Eat More Vegetables

Eating more green vegetables is highly recommended if you want to get marijuana out of your system fast. Consume large amounts of broccoli, spinach, and kale since they contain large amounts of elements enhancing metabolism. Of course, avoid marijuana edibles completely. (8)

4. Caffeine

Caffeine is a natural metabolism booster. Teas such as green tea, black tea, or dandelion tea and coffee contain caffeine, which has the ability to boost metabolism significantly and subsequently get marijuana out of your system. (9, 10, 11)

3. Vitamin C

Try to consume fruits containing vitamin C until the day of the test. Add lemon to your drinks and meals. Eat more fruits and vegetables containing high amounts of Vitamin C such as blackcurrants, citrus fruits (oranges, limes, and lemons), berries, kiwifruit, tomatoes, broccoli, and sprouts. Vitamin C is a great metabolism booster. It also helps your body to detoxify itself. (12, 13, 14)

2. Detox Drinks

Detox drinks are recommended to get rid of toxins, including marijuana, faster. It depends on getting your urine as dilute as possible. The advantage of using detox drinks is that they have vitamin B; you will be able to cover the fact that your urine has been diluted over the last few days. (15, 16)

1. Keep Off Marijuana

Don’t try marijuana while cleansing your body. Also, avoid your friends who smoke marijuana until you pass the test. If you get exposed to marijuana during this period, your body will store THC again and it will be harder to get clean fast and you will have to start over again. (17, 18)
