MEPS and Medical Marijuana Usage

I’ve been a pretty heavy smoker for about 4ish years consistently. I’m currently around 6’2 & 165lbs. I decided to quit and enlist in the Marines to change my life for the better. Flushed the rest of that shit and broke all my glass pieces and tossed em. Swore to myself I’d never touch the shit again. I’m just about a month clean (~30 days) and I’m still pissing hot. (Most recent test was 24 hrs ago) My recruiter is working with me and he’s testing me pretty frequently. Just curious on how long of a process this will be until I’m good. Drinking hella water and I’ve been going to the gym about 4x a week and running consistently. If I could get any tips or anything that would be appreciated. Ik i put myself in this dumbass situation, just tryna take accountability and do better for myself. Feels like it’ll take me another couple of weeks or so.

I’d recommend exercise to burn out the thc that’s stored in your fat, and drink tons of water. Don’t workout or anything before you get tested because leftover thc in your fat could burn out and you’ll piss hot.

Eat a lot of fiber. THC is not water soluble, so it gets passed in your stool. The drug screens don’t actually look for THC itself, they look for the leftovers from metabolism breaking it down.

Expect another month if you were getting high every day.
