Best THC Detox Drinks You Can Make At Home
Despite the widespread (and growing) legalization of marijuana in the United States, many situations still call for THC drug testing. Then again, you may also want to go on a tolerance break and detoxify from weed for a while.
No matter what the reason, getting rid of THC from your system can be a hazy issue for some people. THC can stay in your system for a varying amount of time, detectable anywhere from 3 up to 90 days in urine and blood. Let’s clear the air: there are many detox drinks you can buy, and programs you can go on. But why spend all that money when you can make detox drinks right at home?
Here are some of our favorite THC detox recipes:
Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is one of the best inexpensive ways to detox from almost anything – including getting rid of THC from your body. There are many reasons why lemon juice is known worldwide as one of the best detoxifying drinks.
Lemon juice has been shown to help improve the fat burning process, helping release the THC in blood cells. It’s also a great source of vitamin C; studies show that people who have adequate vitamin C levels are more efficient in oxidizing fat and detoxifying. No matter what kind of THC detox regimen you’re doing, add some lemon juice to your daily routine will speed up results.
In addition, lemons are loaded with healthy vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that will give your immunity a boost. It’s also so easy and simple to make: just squeeze fresh lemon juice into a glass of hot or cold water, and sip it throughout the day. You can have as much of it as you like.
Cranberry Juice
Cranberry juice is another simple, popular, and effective household THC detox drink. However, it doesn’t act as quickly as other remedies, which makes it only a safe choice for THC detox if you have around 30 days to detoxify.
Cranberry juice is recommended by some doctors to help with lymphatic drainage, remove toxins, and flush the kidneys. Consuming 1-2 glasses of cranberry juice daily can help speed up your detoxification especially if you are doing other things such as regular exercise.
Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal is a simple and inexpensive way to cleanse the body. These black powders may look scary, but it’s actually tasteless. It works by attracting toxins while in the body and helping to flush them out.
Simply put a teaspoon of activated charcoal into water, mix, and drink once a day. Don’t take it for longer than 3-5 days since this is only meant to be taken for the short term.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Almost everyone has a bottle of apple cider vinegar in their pantry.
This kitchen staple not only has numerous health benefits but it can also help you detox THC. It contains powerful antibacterial properties that aid in flushing out cannabinoids from the body. Though it isn’t scientifically backed, some have even used apple cider vinegar as a hair wash as they believe it can help remove traces of THC in the hair.
To use apple cider vinegar as a detox agent, add one tablespoon into a glass of water then drink the concoction twice a day. Always consume diluted with water since drinking apple cider vinegar straight up may be harsh on the throat for many people.
Water
You can never go wrong with good old water. Hydrating with water is essential especially for any kind of detox program since you will be urinating and sweating more often. No matter what other kind of drink you are already consuming, always complement it with water as soon as you begin your detoxification program.
What to Keep in Mind When Doing a THC Detox
There are other simple things you can do to help flush out THC and other toxins from your body. Exercise, for one, is highly recommended. THC is stored within the fat cells, so keeping your body moving, burning calories, and sweating efficiently will boost THC detoxification. However, studies show that THC levels in the blood spike for up to 2 hours after doing intensive workouts. This suggests that you shouldn’t exercise right before a blood test since while the exercise can burn the fat which stores THC, it also releases dormant cannabinoids into the bloodstream.
Additionally, you’ll find that there are dozens, even hundreds of products, potions, and pills on the market that promise THC detoxification. Remember that not all of them can work and some may not even be safe. Always do your own research before buying commercially-made detox drinks.
It also helps to eat a healthy diet when you’re trying to flush out THC. Avoid foods that are high in salt, sodium, and sugar because these will only increase water retention, increasing the time that it takes to flush out THC metabolites. A diet rich in lean meat, vegetables, and fruits is recommended. The more leafy green vegetables you consume, the better, since these vegetables help boost metabolism and are excellent sources of vitamins.
Conclusion
Always remember to manage your expectations when starting any weed detox program.
Keep in mind that the timeline for detoxification will vary depending on many factors: how long you have been smoking, the types of marijuana you have been consuming (edibles take the longest to flush out), your body weight and body mass index, and if you exercise. Naturally, stopping marijuana as quickly as possible before your deadline is critical; ensuring that you sweat and continue to consume fluids daily will help increase the chances that you can be THC-free within 30 days.
There’s no such thing as an overnight fix: any kind of THC detox program will require time – and patience.

New Mexico regulators fined a cannabis operator nearly $300,000 and revoked its license after the company allegedly created fake reports in the state’s traceability software.
The New Mexico Cannabis Control Division (CCD) accused marijuana manufacturer and retailer Golden Roots of 11 violations, according to Albuquerque Business First.
Golden Roots operates the The Cannabis Revolution Dispensary.
The majority of the violations are related to the Albuquerque company’s improper use of BioTrack, which has been New Mexico’s track-and-trace vendor since 2015.
The CCD alleges Golden Roots reported marijuana production only two months after it had received its vertically integrated license, according to Albuquerque Business First.
Because cannabis takes longer than two months to be cultivated, the CCD was suspicious of the report.
After inspecting the company’s premises, the CCD alleged Golden Roots reported cultivation, transportation and sales in BioTrack but wasn’t able to provide officers who inspected the site evidence that the operator was cultivating cannabis.
In April, the CCD revoked Golden Roots’ license and issued a $10,000 fine, according to the news outlet.
The company requested a hearing, which the regulator scheduled for Sept. 1.
At the hearing, the CCD testified that the company’s dried-cannabis weights in BioTrack were suspicious because they didn’t seem to accurately reflect how much weight marijuana loses as it dries.
Company employees also poorly accounted for why they were making adjustments in the system of up to 24 pounds of cannabis, making comments such as “bad” or “mistake” in the software, Albuquerque Business First reported.
Golden Roots was fined $298,972.05 – the amount regulators allege the company made selling products that weren’t properly accounted for in BioTrack.
The CCD has been cracking down on cannabis operators accused of selling products procured from out-of-state or not grown legally:
- Regulators alleged in August that Albuquerque dispensary Sawmill Sweet Leaf sold out-of-state products and didn’t have a license for extraction.
- Paradise Exotics Distro lost its license in July after regulators alleged the company sold products made in California.
Golden Roots was the first alleged rulebreaker in New Mexico to be asked to pay a large fine.

Four marijuana companies, including a multistate operator, have filed a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in which they allege the federal MJ prohibition under the Controlled Substances Act is no longer constitutional.
According to the complaint, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, retailer Canna Provisions, Treevit delivery service CEO Gyasi Sellers, cultivator Wiseacre Farm and MSO Verano Holdings Corp. are all harmed by “the federal government’s unconstitutional ban on cultivating, manufacturing, distributing, or possessing intrastate marijuana.”
Verano is headquartered in Chicago but has operations in Massachusetts; the other three operators are based in Massachusetts.
The lawsuit seeks a ruling that the “Controlled Substances Act is unconstitutional as applied to the intrastate cultivation, manufacture, possession, and distribution of marijuana pursuant to state law.”
The companies want the case to go before the U.S. Supreme Court.
They hired prominent law firm Boies Schiller Flexner to represent them.
The New York-based firm’s principal is David Boies, whose former clients include Microsoft, former presidential candidate Al Gore and Elizabeth Holmes’ disgraced startup Theranos.
Similar challenges to the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA) have failed.
One such challenge led to a landmark Supreme Court decision in 2005.
In Gonzalez vs. Raich, the highest court in the United States ruled in a 6-3 decision that the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution gave Congress the power to outlaw marijuana federally, even though state laws allow the cultivation and sale of cannabis.
In the 18 years since that ruling, 23 states and the District of Columbia have legalized adult-use marijuana and the federal government has allowed a multibillion-dollar cannabis industry to thrive.
Since both Congress and the U.S. Department of Justice, currently headed by Garland, have declined to intervene in state-licensed marijuana markets, the key facts that led to the Supreme Court’s 2005 ruling “no longer apply,” Boies said in a statement Thursday.
“The Supreme Court has since made clear that the federal government lacks the authority to regulate purely intrastate commerce,” Boies said.
“Moreover, the facts on which those precedents are based are no longer true.”
Verano President Darren Weiss said in a statement the company is “prepared to bring this case all the way to the Supreme Court in order to align federal law with how Congress has acted for years.”
While the Biden administration’s push to reschedule marijuana would help solve marijuana operators’ federal tax woes, neither rescheduling nor modest Congressional reforms such as the SAFER Banking Act “solve the fundamental issue,” Weiss added.
“The application of the CSA to lawful state-run cannabis business is an unconstitutional overreach on state sovereignty that has led to decades of harm, failed businesses, lost jobs, and unsafe working conditions.”
Alabama regulators are targeting Dec. 1 to award the first batch of medical cannabis business licenses after the agency’s first two attempts were scrapped because of scoring errors and litigation.
The first licenses will be awarded to individual cultivators, delivery providers, processors, dispensaries and state testing labs, according to the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC).
Then, on Dec. 12, the AMCC will award licenses for vertically integrated operations, a designation set primarily for multistate operators.
Licenses are expected to be handed out 28 days after they have been awarded, so MMJ production could begin in early January, according to the Alabama Daily News.
That means MMJ products could be available for patients around early March, an AMCC spokesperson told the media outlet.
Regulators initially awarded 21 business licenses in June, only to void them after applicants alleged inconsistencies with how the applications were scored.
Then, in August, the state awarded 24 different licenses – 19 went to June recipients – only to reverse themselves again and scratch those licenses after spurned applicants filed lawsuits.
A state judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by Chicago-based MSO Verano Holdings Corp., but another lawsuit is pending.
