Sometimes insurance agencies use blood tests and check for drug use, including marijuana, when determining things like health risk factors and monthly contributions.

How long does THC stay in blood? The amount of time THC will stay in someone’s blood depends mainly on how often they smoke. THC is immediately detectable in the blood upon smoking it. And THC will reach peak levels in the bloodstream around ten minutes after smoking—it takes about an hour or so if eaten that’s why edibles creep up on you. That means that THC will be detectable by a blood test for about a day or two if you’re a newbie. For regular everyday pot smokers weed will remain in the blood anywhere between two to seven days after the last time they smoked.

The detection window for marijuana use is even larger for hair drug tests. A hair drug test can show marijuana use for up to three months after smoking. That is if you’re a major stoner. If it’s your first time smoking weed it’ll take at least a week before you can beat a hair drug test naturally.

The mouth swab drug test is on the rise due to alleged “stoned driving.” It’s being employed by the police, right there on the road, more often nowadays. So you should know that you’ll test positive for weed on a mouth swab drug test, aka a saliva test or spit test, about an hour after smoking pot. And you’ll be susceptible to a spit test for up to 12 hours after smoking. So you might want to keep some THC gum handy?

You’ll most likely have not time to prepare for a marijuana blood test because of the things we discussed above—you’ve been involved in a work accident and will be tested for drug use immediately. However if you do have the luxury of time you can try and speed up your metabolism. Getting your blood pumping will help circulate that THC on through your system. But it’s going to take time for THC to completely leave your bloodstream. You could also take a steam and try and sweat some of that THC out. Then replace those fluids by drinking lots more fluids—mainly water and cranberry juice. Those will both help flush your system of THC.
