Smoking marijuana is one of the best ways to relax your body and escape from everyday struggles. Your problems disappear and you feel like you are on cloud nine. Sadly, one cannot be high on Mary Jane 24/7, as we all have some responsibilities after all. There may come a time when you need to be detoxed from marijuana, such as for doing a job interview or enrolling in a school, so let’s take a look at some of the best ways to get rid of marijuana toxins from your body.
Diuretics
One of the most common drug tests is the urine test, and the simplest way to dilute your urine is to use a diuretic drink. Apart from the natural tendency to clean your body from marijuana, cranberry juice has its properties to increase the production of urine. If you don’t have cranberry juice at your disposal, tea or coffee can also help. It is essential to remember that the diuretic that you choose has electrolytes, which will help with the dilution of your urine. So, 24 hours before the test take your diuretic drink, your urine will dilute and you are ready to go.
B vitamins
Now that you have taken the diuretic of your choice and diluted your urine everything is good, right? Wrong. You see, diuretics will make your urine lose color (which is highly suspicious if you are tested), so you want it to be as yellow as possible after using diuretics. This is easily done by increasing the intake of B-vitamins. So approximately 3 days before the test start taking B vitamins (vitamin B-2 and B-12 seem to be the best for this purpose) and over the course of time your urine will restore its original color.
Exercising
Another detox method includes physical activity. The simple reasoning behind this is that if you are not active your fat cells will accumulate marijuana toxins, so you need to burn some fat to release these toxins into your blood stream. You don’t need to overextend, a simple 60-minute jog around the block or an hour in your local gym will suffice. So, you’re not only cleansing your body of marijuana, but you are also keeping it fit and healthy.
Detox drinks
There are also many so-called detox drinks easily obtainable on the market and they are based on the principle of dilution mentioned above. These drinks contain B-vitamins necessary for the color of your urine, but also creatine that is dissolved into creatinine and released into your urine to mask the dilution. Surely, you can take B-vitamins and creatine separately if you don’t want to buy detox drinks, but they are much more convenient as a whole and they insure that you take the right amount of vitamins and creatine before the test.
High fiber diet
Another tip is to change your diet several days before the test in order to remove marijuana toxins from your body. Basically, this includes eating foods that are rich in fiber. Fruits and vegetables contain fibers like pectin that stimulate your digestive tract, which further removes toxins through bowel movements out of your body. Mind you, stay away from laxatives as they may have some negative consequences. Natural digestive processes are the way to go.
Detoxing from marijuana has never been simpler once you know the proper methods of doing it. Overall, whichever method you choose you won’t regret. You can buy commercial products should need be, or you can resort to more home made solutions if you want to save money, it’s completely up to you.
