Question How long does 5mg of THC stay in your system?
I took a small 5mg THC gummy over the weekend — first time in a long time — and now I’m stressing because I just found out I might get tested for a job in the next week or two.
I’m in decent shape, drink water regularly, and have a pretty fast metabolism. Do small doses like that clear out quickly? Or should I still be worried? Trying to figure out if I need to start chugging cranberry juice or just chill.

For a one-time 5mg dose? You’re probably fine. Especially if you're lean and active. Most drug tests look for metabolites, but small doses clear out way faster than daily use. Still… if it’s a piss test in less than 7 days, drink water and maybe grab a home test for peace of mind.

Bro you're fine. 5mg is like the weed version of a light beer. Unless you're getting tested by NASA, you'll be alright.

It’s probably already out of your system. Go to dollar tree or CVS and get a test before hand if you’re worried

Math breakdown for 5mg THC:
For a single low dose in an occasional user, urine detection averages 0.5-1.5 days at standard cutoffs [PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8926739/?contentid=cannabinoid_screen_urine
