THC levels getting higher while not using

[forextsdjc]

I have smoked marijuana for the last couple of years every day.  I smoked very potent marijuana and I'm a bit overweight.  I have been in shape on and off in my life through long distance running.  I have recently went to a treatment facility as required by the courts.  I have not smoked since July 13, 2009 and have began working out very regularly, I way 196 lbs and am 5'4" I have very high body fat and I'm not a brawny guy. over the last two weeks my levels have been jumping around, I've recently upped my running to 45min at 7.0 mph, so about five miles. I've been drinking almost a gallon of water a day.  Since my running my levels have shot up and as a result I'm getting in trouble in treatment, they are claiming that there is absolutely no way my levels could be affected the way they are by my activity level.  This concerns me deeply,  can someone please tell me why my levels would be increasing since I stopped smoking.  I know THC hides in the fat cells but this is ridiculous, these people are acting like I'm in denial and really honestly have not smoked. PLEASE HELP!!!

Yes... the reason why your THC levels are spiking is because THC is very fat soluble.  It is probably one of the most fat soluble drugs... hence it's called a little of that sicky icky icky.

Since you say you are slightly overweight and started exercising after you quit smoking... it's all being released into your blood stream.

You can just tell them the situation... that you burning off that fat to clean out the thc, and that it might take a few more weeks until more fat is burned off.

You can also stop exercising as Ga Guy said.  And drink lots of water.

I had 3 drug tests in my life and passed all 3 times.  I quit smoking about 2 weeks before each drug test... drank plenty of water each day, exercised, and then the day before the drug test I'd always pig out on pizza...just to have some fat float around catching any residual THC.  then... the morning of the test I would drink about 2 liters of water to dilute my urine.  It worked every time for me.

A girl in my rehab popped positive for THC 5 weeks after her last joint. If you're truly not smoking, then it has to be releasing from your fat cells. That's just how THC works. Why not try putting off the "fat burning" for a week or so and see if the levels lower. If they do, then you have some ammunition for your rehab to believe you with.
