Delta 8 THC has become an increasingly popular cannabinoid extracted from legal hemp. It provides users with mild psychoactive effects and therapeutic benefits without the intense high of marijuana. The amount of time THC remains detectable in your body depends on various factors like your age, weight, metabolism, and frequency of delta-8 use. For infrequent users, THC may only stay in your system for 1-3 days. But for frequent or long-term users, THC metabolites are detected for 1-2 months after you discontinue use. THC is fat-soluble and gets stored in fat cells all over the body. With repeated use over time, levels accumulate in fatty tissues and organs slowly getting released back into the bloodstream and urine.
Increase fluid intake
Drinking more fluids, especially water, is probably the simplest way to help flush cannabinoids out of your system. Hydration dilutes urine allowing you to void more THC metabolites from the fat cells and tissues they’ve built up in. Aim to drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily, more if you handle it. Other diuretic fluids like herbal teas, juices, or bone broths further help dilute urine for faster excretion of THC markers.
Exercise and sweat daily
The flushing your system and hydrating from the inside, you want to sweat out toxins through exercise. Any cardio raising your heartbeat like running, biking, aerobics, or HIIT workouts will boost circulation and bring THC metabolites to the surface. As you sweat them out through eccrine glands, you’ll reduce levels remaining under the skin and in fat storage. Shoot for at least 30-60 minutes daily while detoxing for optimal effects. Saunas or steam rooms also help flush toxins through sweat.
Eat cleansing foods & supplements
Nutrition plays a major role in expediting THC metabolism too. Chlorophyll-rich green veggies help oxygenate blood to enhance circulation removing wastes and drug residues. Cruciferous veggies like broccoli, kale, or cabbage contain Indole and sulforaphane shown to boost detoxification enzymes in the liver. Probiotics bring good gut bacteria producing glutathione – the body’s master antioxidant and detoxifier. Meanwhile, supplements like milk thistle, dandelion, and alpha-lipoic acid support liver function for metabolizing cannabinoids and other toxins.
Take cleansing herbs and teas
Several herbs have cleansing and detoxifying properties that accelerate the elimination THC from the system after quitting delta 8 vape products. Milk thistle and dandelion as supplements help cleanse and repair liver cells speeding up metabolite clearance. As teas, parsley, nettle leaf, burdock root, and ginger stimulate digestion and drainage of wastes through kidneys, liver, lungs, and skin. Licorice, cranberry, and buchu also have diuretic effects increasing urine output to void more THC remnants faster too.
Abstain from all cannabinoids
It should go without saying, but aside from delta 8, you’ll need to avoid all cannabis products when detoxing THC from your system. This includes marijuana, hemp-derived CBD oils with trace THC levels, and the synthetic CB-1 agonist – Spice or K2. Continuing any cannabinoid use will cause THC metabolites to linger longer requiring you to restart the cleansing period after each exposure. Strict abstinence from weed, delta 8, delta 9, 11-hydroxy metabolites, and related synthetics gives your body the break it needs to purge stored THC that accumulated from repeated prior use.
