How Long Does Marijuana Stay In Your System?
You may have read that THC stays in your system for 30 days on average. However, the time it takes for this drug to leave your system can actually vary. It will depend on how long you’ve been using, how much you used, the type of weed, genetic factors, and body weight. THC is stored in body fat.
Withdrawals – The Most Vulnerable Time In Your Recovery
Marijuana dependence causes withdrawal symptoms just like any other drug. Insomnia, depression, anxiety, stomach pain, aggression, nightmares… Nobody wants to experience uncomfortable and unpredictable THC withdrawal symptoms alone.
