Marijuana has been a heavy topic of debate in recent years, specifically concerning its health factors. One health concern regarding marijuana is how different forms of consumption can affect the body. Once inhaled or ingested, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, THC, goes through the blood stream and is carried to the brain and other parts of the body. As there are numerous forms of consumption, they may not have the same effects on the body.
HOW LONG THE HIGH LASTS
Inhaling marijuana will send THC directly through lungs to bloodstream, which leads it to metabolize faster than ingestion.
SO YOU HAVE TO TAKE A DRUG TEST ...
No matter how marijuana is consumed, THC is stored in body fat for a minimum of 24 hours. The amount of time THC stays in the body depends on how frequently marijuana is used.
