This happened about three weeks ago, and I have a pee test next week. Should I be concerned? Will it stay in my system longer than a smoked joint? Oyekanmi Dear Oyekanmi: Breathe. The worst is behind you. That’s a lot of THC for someone who doesn’t consume often, and unknowingly ingesting it can quickly lead to puking over a toilet, sweating in a curled-up ball or pay- ing for an unnecessary-but-understandable ambulance ride. Hopefully you were able to avoid most of that. Now for the good news. You ate a lot of THC for a novice, and MEMBER BOSM PRICING LIVE RESIN NEW LIVE BATTER BUDDER 1G JAR $16.36 | 5G JAR $80.11 20G JAR $293.25 | 28G JAR $403.75 40G JAR $576 1G JAR $21.25 | 5G JAR $102 1G JAR $12.20 | 5G JAR $59.30 20G JAR $227 | 28G JAR $310.15 WE CARRY YOUR FAVORITE BRANDS! smoked weed doesn’t linger around the bloodstream as long as edibles, but you’re almost certainly in the clear if this is a urine test. Your body has probably fl ushed out the THC already if this edibles scare was a one-time thing, as infrequent users generally test negative around a week after eating edibles. Work out and drink a lot of water if you’re that worried, but you should sleep easy — unless you’re ever around the person who slipped you a 50-milligram edible. We’ve seen lawsuits over this kind of stuff before. Not cool. Dear Stoner: I found a seed in my CBD weed. Should I expect it to have the same amount of CBD if I grow it? Joshua MENTION THIS AD FOR MEMBER PRICING ON YOUR FIRST VISIT! LAKEWOOD ENGLEWOOD 8420 W COLFAX AVE 303-238-1253 10AM-6:55PM 40 3431 S FEDERAL BLVD 303-761-9170 10AM-6:55PM GOODMEDS.COM Dear Joshua: Not necessarily. While you should expect something similar, that’s not guaranteed. That cannabis may have been pollinated from a different strain than what you’re smoking, and whatever grows from the seed could be a hybrid strain. Even if the seed has the same parents, the plant will be a new phenotype with slight differ- ences in smell and fl avor, and not identical to older siblings. Because customers seek out a level consistency in cannabis, most growers depend on cloning instead of growing from seed. If you’re a home grower or experiment- ing with CBD strains, this isn’t a very big deal. In fact, phenotypes usually add a little fun and discovery to the experimentation process. The CBD content will probably be close to what you’re smoking now, just with some slight differences here and there. If you’re a hemp grower who needs to main- tain federal compliance or growing CBD weed for commercial purposes, though, those distinctions matter. Send questions to [email protected].
