I thought that would only help w/ urine tests, not blood tests?

Ding ding. THC stays in the blood for a month or more. Some drug testing devices can detect up to 4 months of usage by analyzing the amount of certain enzymes cannabinoid receptors give off when stimulated.

I'm not so sure about this. THC is stored in the fat and is slowly released. The "one month" thing is so innacurate it's not even funny. A skinny guy with a fast metabolism who only smokes once would more than likely be clean in a matter of days.
An overweight stoner who smokes 8 times daily might test positive for more than a month after cessation.

Hm, so companies saying they won't hire you unless you are drug free for a year have no way of proving it past a month tops? Learn somethin new everyday... must've fallen victim to the propaganda train.

That's not what I said at all, I actually said that it's possible to test positive for THC after a month in certain situations. But pretty much every drug is gone after a few days, with heavy use a week tops.
But if a company says that they are probably going to do a hair folicile test.
A complete drug history growing out of the scalp.

Urine is the typical matrix for them to analyze it in and is much easier and cheaper. Potentially, yes, they could analyze it in blood but they would have to ship it off to some lab specializing in esoteric testing which is so beyond practical it is reasonable to assume that it wouldn't happen.

Yeah, if your mom was going to test you without your knowlege they'd just test the routine piss that you give with a physical. When you start working with blood it get's expensive.

I've never seen nor drawn anything to detect THC in the blood.(and i work in an inner city hospital where nearly every other person tests positive for something)

Urine only.

So chill man.

Yes, it can be detected in the blood. From what I just Googled, how long varies with how much you use it.
Same with urine.

Trust me, I know that, but read the other posts. Testing blood is prohibitively expensive for such things.

Blood drug tests are commonly and usually for aspirin, tylenol, tricyclics and ethanol

That's what it sounds like to me too.

Or be honest with your mom about your drug use?

Exercising will cause the THC to be expelled from your fat cells and into your blood. If you had more time to cleanse your system this would be helpful as it cleans you out fast. However, I assume you have this test soon so you might want to avoid that.

Yea, next week I believe. I guess I'll just sit on my ass all day. And I guess I could be straight with her, but she has never asked me about it, and I don't believe there is even a reason to suspect me. They've never even caught me with anything.
