How Long Does Delta 8 Stay In Your System? Urine, Blood, Saliva, Hair

Jun 13 2022
Categories:Drug Facts

Have you ever taken Delta 8? If so, you're probably wondering how long it will stay in your system. This is a question that a lot of people have, and unfortunately, there's no one answer that fits everyone. The amount of time Delta 8 stays in your system depends on many different factors.

Delta-8 THC is a minor cannabinoid that can be extracted from cannabis plants and hemp. Compared to Delta 9 THC, it's more stable and has milder psychoactive effects.

While this form of THC is considered legal on a federal level in the United States, you can still fail a drug test after consuming delta-8. Drug tests can detect THC metabolites from Delta 8. That's because Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC have almost similar chemical structures. If you have taken products with Delta 8 THC, passing a drug test may be a concern.

In this post, we'll look at how long Delta 8 can be detected in different parts of your body: urine, blood, saliva, and hair. We'll break down the different types of drug tests and how long Delta 8 will show up in each one.

By the time you finish reading, you'll have a good idea of how long you'll need to wait before taking a drug test. So if you're curious about how long Delta 8 will stay in your system, keep reading!

What Factors Affect How Long Delta 8 Stays in Your System?

You're probably looking for a direct answer to the question "How Long Does Delta 8 Stay in Your System?" The reality, however, is that it really depends on the individual user.

Several factors influence the amount of time Delta 8 THC stays in your system, including:

1) Your Body's Metabolism - Everyone's metabolism is different. Some people metabolize Delta 8 THC very quickly, while others metabolize it more slowly. This is why some people feel the effects of Delta 8 THC for a longer period of time than others.

2) Your Weight, Age, BMI, Organ Function - All of these factors can affect how quickly Delta 8 THC is metabolized by your body.

3) How Much Delta 8 You Took - The amount of Delta 8 THC you took also plays a role in how long it will stay in your system. Obviously, the more substance you consume, the longer it will take to be completely metabolized and eliminated from your system.

4) How Often You Use Delta 8 - If you use Delta 8 THC regularly, it will build up in your system and can be detected for a longer period of time. Generally, heavy and chronic users have Delta 8 THC in their system longer.

Now that we've looked at some of the factors that affect how long Delta 8 stays in your system, let's take a more specific look at each type of drug test and how long you can expect Delta 8 to show up.

Delta 8

How Long Does Delta 8 Stay in Your Urine?

A urine test is the most common and reliable method of drug testing for THC. The amount of time Delta 8 stays in your urine will depend on whether you're a casual or chronic user.

Occasional to Moderate User - 3 to 7 days
Heavy to Chronic User - 10 to 48 days

How Long Does Delta 8 Stay in Your Blood?

A blood test is another method of drug testing. However, it's not considered as reliable as a urine test. Typically, traces of THC metabolites will stay in your blood for a shorter period of time than they will in your urine.

Occasional to Moderate User - 3 hours to 2 days
Heavy to Chronic User - up to 25 days

How Long Does Delta 8 Stay in Your Saliva?

Saliva testing for drugs is not usually considered very reliable. This kind of testing is often used to detect recent drug use, rather than chronic use.

Occasional to Moderate User - 1 day to 2 days
Heavy to Chronic User - up to 30 days

How Long Does Delta 8 Stay in Your Hair?

The amount of time metabolites of Delta 8 THC will stay in your hair is much longer. This is, however, not a common method of drug testing.

Occasional to Moderate User - 7 days
Heavy to Chronic User - up to 90 days

Cannabis Substance Abuse Treatment

While Delta 8 may be legal in many places in the United States, it's important to understand that heavy use of any substance can lead to side effects that can affect your quality of life.

If you or someone you know is struggling with cannabis abuse, help is available.

Our team of addiction treatment specialists will work with you to create a custom treatment plan that meets your unique needs.
