The internet is replete with both methods and products claiming to be the best way to detox THC. With such a large variety, it is difficult for the audience to discern among these methods which may be the best for the situation in question. Green Gone LLC stands in a unique position to educate on this topic given we’ve been in the THC detox business going on 7 years now with our flagship product Green Gone Detox. We will spare you the pitch however, as we wish to provide honest education simply covering the facts. Many of the following tidbits of advice do not even require any sort of purchase by the individual.

Common Barriers to Detoxing

We want to know why some parties take longer to cleanse their body of cannabis than others. Having sold over 10,000 kits we’ve identified some common themes among people that end up needing our product. The first type of person that may struggle on their own to get their body clean of THC without intervention are heavy tenured users. Specifically we are referring to people that either smoke, vape, or ingest edibles containing THC one or more times a day for a period of several weeks or longer. It is not uncommon for us to answer questions from prospective customers that have ingested cannabis, or even worse for our purposes a high content THC oil every day, sometimes multiple times a day for years. We find this fairly intuitive because of the sheer bulk of THC and subsequent metabolites in the bodily fluids. The higher the starting concentration, typically the longer it will take for the body to clear THC naturally. Males tend to be faster metabolizers than women. However, men also tend to weigh more than women which works against this advantage.  Younger people tend to be faster, again due to the difference in metabolic rate. People with a history of liver or kidney disease tend to take longer as well given their body systems are not nearly as effective at eliminating THC metabolites. In summary, the following factors contribute to the time required to cleanse your body of weed in no particular order because everyone is different and there are several variables: age, gender, size, amount of ingestion (including amounts, frequency and tenure) as well as kidney and liver health of the person in question.

How You Can Prepare

To help with all the confusion this causes we have a “detox calculator” on our site that gathers this information upfront to recommend the proper duration of detox on our program. It may take much longer without a proper detox, and regular checking of progress, which we also provide 5 strips for each kit we sell. Our customers seem to enjoy the peace that this provides, having several visual confirmations that there are less toxins in their body. Let’s say you opt to detox THC on your own though. May it be to cleanse your body of cannabis or a personal tolerance break we are still here for you! There are a few things in your power you can do to ensure a positive outcome of getting a cannabis free body.

General Detox Tips

First and foremost is abstinence. We don’t entirely blame anyone for wanting to put off this unpleasantry as long as possible. Truly though the sooner the better in this situation to buy as much time as possible.

Next, there is hydration status. Fairly straightforward right? The more water your drink the more urine you produce and in theory the more metabolites you will clear. Yet, this effect is limited by both the liver’s ability to turn THC into water soluble metabolites, as well as the lipophilic nature of the metabolites tending to sequester into fat tissue and sit there for extended periods of time. So hydration helps, but we will only get so far using this method alone.

Pursue Cardiovascular Exercise

Generating sweat through cardio exercise is also helpful in no less than two ways. Not only does the sweat generated eliminate metabolites in its own rite, as some metabolites will eliminate out with the sweat, but also if the active lifestyle is maintained general metabolism may improve too, and break up some of the stubborn THC sequestered in the fat. This takes longer than the user realistically has however. We have heard some case reports that a low carb diet may help as it forces consumption of fat, which also makes sense to us, yet the magnitude of the benefit is largely unknown.

In summary, THC detox is a difficult and time consuming process. Doing it on your own may require a multiple angled approach. We do believe in diet, exercise, hydration status, and abstinence as the most reliable non-detox kit approaches. However, if you’re in a time crunch, or have begun but are having a difficult time feel free to reach out to us!

Vi at La Jolla Village – Senior Living in the Heart of Everything

At Vi at La Jolla Village, residents don't have to choose between security and adventure, connection and independence. They get all of it.

Today’s seniors are more connected than ever, with a renewed focus on retirement as a time of discovery and enriching experiences. The ultimate reward for a retirement well-earned is the wisdom to appreciate it all, and what better place to enjoy that unique perspective than Vi at La Jolla Village, in the heart of San Diego.

All-access pass to good living.

As a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), Vi provides access to a connected and fulfilling community while making it easy to plan for future care, should the need ever arise. With a care plan in place, residents enjoy greater financial predictability and long-term value, freeing them to focus on making the most out of retirement.

Resort-style amenities at the epicenter of a cultural hub like San Diego offer a retirement experience unlike any other. Paired with exceptional dining, spacious accommodations and dedicated staff, the best of maintenance-free living is all around. And with the introduction of Vista 360 Well-Being, Vi’s panoramic approach to wellness, there are more ways than ever for residents to access it all.

The harmony of mind, body and community.

The key to longevity is striking the right balance in maintaining an active lifestyle with an active mind in a fulfilling community. With newly renovated community spaces and restaurants, Vista brings a variety of opportunities for residents to elevate their well-being through Vi-exclusive “Signature Experiences.”

Vista Enrich takes an evidence-based approach to brain vitality, keeping residents at the forefront of cognitive health through exergaming (exercising + gaming), nutritional plans and informative workshops. It is also home to The Brain Vitality Studio, an innovative facility dedicated to cognitive fitness that has garnered national recognition.

Vista Discover invites residents into stimulating educational experiences, from chef-led cooking demos and guided wine tastings to lectures at local universities and intimate lectures following cultural outings.

While Vista Enrich focuses on brain health and Vista Discover engages residents intellectually, Vista Explore cultivates a sense of adventure through curated travel and local excursions. But broadening one’s horizons doesn’t always require a plane ticket. One recent event brought a taste of the world right to the community: an onsite “jazz cruise” featuring live music and global cuisine served at a series of themed “ports” all within the community’s own ballroom.

“Location, location, location”

One of the biggest perks of life at Vi at La Jolla Village is its proximity to just about everything. With easy access to transportation and local attractions just steps away, residents can explore and engage with their community at their own pace.

“There are trolley and bus stops within a 5-minute walk that will get you to the beach, UCSD Campus, medical appointments, downtown La Jolla or San Diego, et cetera. We rarely use our car,” said resident Tom Yager.

With the best of San Diego just steps away, residents don’t just live in the city, they live within reach of everything that makes it special.

The best of all worlds.

At Vi at La Jolla Village, retirement isn’t a chapter to slow down; it’s an invitation to discover more. Tailored community experiences created by Vista, paired with the vibrant pulse of San Diego just outside the door, mean that residents don’t have to choose between security and adventure, connection and independence. They get all of it.

This is what an all-access pass to good living looks like: the comforts of an elevated lifestyle, a community built for growth and a city made for discovery – all in one place.
