First off, I'm not here to ask if synthetic cannabinoids (ex: JWH) will show up as positive in a THC drug test. I understand that there are tests for some of the synthetic cannabinoids now, but I'm assuming I will not be tested for the currently legal ones (if any at all, as it's for a summer internship).
I'm just wondering if there's any studies or personal experiences on how synthetic cannabinoids affect the detection time for THC. In my case, I've recently stopped smoking marijuana just in case I will need to be tested. However, I'm no stranger to the synthetic stuff, so I figured I'd get some in order to continue smoking.
If I have something (real or synthetic), it's likely that I'll smoke a bit every day (once at night, maybe a half-bowl), but I've never consistently smoked daily. I also normally never have great stuff either. I might smoke daily for a week or two and then stop or switch entirely to synthetic for another week or two. Overall, I'd say I've smoked much more synthetic in the past 3 months than real marijuana. Either way, this is all likely irrelevant to my question.
How do synthetic cannabinoids affect the detection time of THC in drug tests? I could see it going all three ways. On one hand, I could imagine your body replacing the THC metabolites with the synthetic ones to "make room". I'm 6'3", 190lbs, and have a fairly fast metabolism, so I could see this being more likely to be true than in someone who is overweight and has a slower metabolism. I'm assuming I have less fat to store metabolites in.
I could also see it making no difference at all in detection times. Or, I could see it making the THC have a longer detection time in my body. I'm not really sure why this would be the case, nor can I explain why I'd think this could be a possibility.
I feel like I've read somewhere that, if anything, it would flush the THC out of your system faster than if you were to stop smoking anything entirely. Maybe it was on these forums, maybe not. Either way, I have been unable to find anything about it after searching Google.
Perhaps no one knows the answer to this, which is what I'm expecting. I thought I'd ask anyway, just in case.
