Marijuana is slowly beating the odds against decades of prohibition and, in turn, it\u2019s becoming one of America\u2019s favorite feel-goods. The latest Gallup poll shows that 12% of the United States population is getting high regularly. Yet the stigmas associated with the cannabis plant continue to be just as crippling as they were years ago. Sure, 11 states have legalized the leaf like alcohol \u2014 allowing adults 21 and older to buy it from retail outlets \u2014 but get busted with THC in your system, and it could spell trouble.<\/p>\n
Some companies still require their employees to pee clean, while most places will not even hire an individual who has weed coursing through their veins. It\u2019s a situation that has forced desperate people to employ some insane methods to pass those pesky drug tests. One of the latest methods is to actually try sweating it out in the gym. But this bro tactic, at least according to science, can have the opposite effect by making THC more prevalent in a person\u2019s bloodstream.<\/p>\n
Drug testing experts say those people who believe they can escape the wrath of a marijuana test through strenuous exercise are only fooling themselves. This method is known for its ability to increase the THC levels in the body, therefore creating a situation where the subject is probably going to fail more miserably than before. In other words, the average cannabis consumer is more likely to get nailed for a positive result after spending hours on a mad dash to sweat out the THC.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the sedentary person decides, \u2018I wanna beat this,\u2019 then goes to a sauna or starts doing a bunch of jumping jacks, it won\u2019t really do much,\u201d Rafael Landeiro of Mobile Health, a lab testing service,\u00a0explained<\/a>\u00a0in an interview with Inverse. \u201cIronically, for the people who are doing that, as your body metabolizes the body fat, [and] you\u2019re releasing more THC than you normally would.\u201d<\/p>\n Most experienced cannabis users are under no illusion when it comes to their chances of beating a drug test. They know that without plenty of time to clean up (and that can mean backing off the smoke for around a month or more), that test is going to show positive before they even get their hands on the pee cup. The difficulty of flushing pot from one\u2019s system is the reason there are so many rapid cleanses on the market, all of them promising to wipe the THC from the body of even the most dedicated toker. Some people swear by these products, while all anyone else has ever experienced is unemployment and probation violations.<\/p>\n Over the years, there have also been some truly bizarre methods show up on the Internet for how to pass a drug test. Drinking bleach, using animal urine, the list goes on. But none of these have ever proven effective.<\/p>\n Sweating it out, however, is the latest trend. Just like some people think sweating more equates increased weight loss, some folks have formed the opinion that this method will also rid their bodies of THC. So they are hitting the gym with rabid enthusiasm, bumping up the cardio in hopes of producing a clean pee. Yet, according to a\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0published back in 2013, exercise permits more THC to trickle into the bloodstream \u2014 increasing a person\u2019s chances of failing a drug test.<\/p>\n Research shows that even when low amounts of THC are present in a person\u2019s system, exercise actually allows more of the THC compound to show up. Scientists say this is because physical activity forces dormant THC stored in fat to start flowing rapidly through the body. In fact, anything that burns fat will have the same result. Another\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0from 2014 shows dieting can produce a spike of THC.<\/p>\n \u201cFasting is going to burn fat, which is going to release more cannabinoids,\u201d researchers explained. \u201cIf you have more fat, then there is more tissue for the cannabinoids to get stored in so you might get a little bit longer window of detection.\u201d<\/p>\n The cold hard fact is there are not any tried and true, 100% guaranteed methods for\u00a0passing a drug screen for marijuana.<\/a>\u00a0If you have a test coming up, your best bet is to stop using cannabis for a while. For some folks, this could be a week. Others with a heaver BMI might have to wait around 90 days to get the green out. But whatever you do, don\u2019t try burning it off in the gym before a test.<\/p>\n You will probably fail.<\/p>\n TELL US<\/strong>,\u00a0have you ever failed a drug test for marijuana?<\/p>\n The post Will Hitting the Gym Help You Pass A Drug Test?<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
