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.
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.
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.
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!

Meet ArtsConnect, UC San Diego’s Invitation to SoCal Arts Lovers
ArtsConnect brings those experiences into view, helping residents discover what they can see, hear and create at UC San Diego while experiencing the campus in a new way.
Ask most people what UC San Diego is known for, and the arts may not be the first answer. Yet this fall, San Diegans can watch Ghostbusters with a live orchestra, try their hand at glassmaking and wander among more than 20 works of public art woven throughout the university’s La Jolla campus.

“The arts are at the heart of UC San Diego’s student-centered mission and vision,” says Alysson Satterlund, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and Campus Life. “Whether creating, participating in, or experiencing performances, the arts are essential to a healthy and truly fun Triton student experience.”
That invitation often begins where the arts intersect with other fields.
“Some of the most innovative work and discovery happen where disciplines don’t usually share a stage,” says Cristina Della Coletta, Dean of the UC San Diego School of Arts and Humanities. “So through our unique intersection of the arts with science, technology, and medicine, we are improving lives, physically and emotionally.
Take The Inaudible Ocean, a collaboration between Department of Music Professor Lei Liang and Scripps Institution of Oceanography Assistant Project Scientist Josh Jones. Over eight years, the pair recorded earthquakes, ship noise, whale songs and other sounds in remote underwater locations. They transformed those recordings into a live music experience that allowed audiences to hear the ocean in an entirely new way. The work premiered on campus in May and continues to evolve.
The arts also connect the campus to the global art world and diverse perspectives. Chief Campus Curator Jessica Berlanga Taylor recently curated the Mexico Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale, featuring RojoNegro, the collective formed by Noé Martínez and María Sosa. The collective will unveil a compelling new permanent installation for UC San Diego’s celebrated Stuart Collection later this fall.
ArtPower offers another easy entry point, bringing touring performers to venues including the outdoor Epstein Family Amphitheater and the intimate Loft. The nearly three dozen performances featured through its 2026-2027 season span music, dance, film, theater and conversation.
Among the fall highlights is Ghostbusters in Concert on Sept. 25, pairing the beloved 1984 film with a live performance of Elmer Bernstein’s score. Tickets start at $35, and the amphitheater is located next to the UC San Diego Blue Line trolley station.
“Every member of our community should have access to world-class art, so we work hard to remove the barriers that stand in the way,” says Colleen Kollar Smith, executive artistic director of the Campus Performances and Events Office. “That means affordable ticket prices, and performances, voices and experiences where people see themselves reflected on stage and know they belong.”
The arts at UC San Diego are not only something to watch. The Craft Center offers public classes and workshops in ceramics, jewelry, woodworking, culinary arts and even surfboard shaping. At the new Glass Center, beginners and experienced makers can explore glassmaking through classes, demonstrations and studio experiences.
Whether you want to attend a performance, make something yourself or spend an afternoon exploring public art, there is an easy way in. And the invitation extends well beyond students and alumni.
Kollar Smith says it best: “Visit, participate, spectate or create. You’re invited, and we hope you’ll connect with us soon.”
Growing up, Laika Nur, MD, Scripps Clinic sports medicine specialist, loved watching beach volleyball when the Association of Volleyball Professionals tour came to her hometown of Chicago. A talented volleyball player herself, she remembers sitting in the stands all day, and once, even got a couple autographs. Years later, Dr. Nur was attending a professional event focused on women’s sports, and the discussion turned to a new professional women’s volleyball league. The general manager and coaching staff for San Diego’s team, the Mojo, happened to be in attendance, and Dr. Nur took the opportunity to ask them if they needed a team doctor. Flash forward to the Mojo’s inaugural 2024 season, when Dr. Nur officially became the team physician.

Your feet and ankles probably aren’t something you give much thought to—until something goes wrong. Orthopedic surgeons at Scripps Clinic are on the leading edge of foot and ankle reconstruction, treating patients with sports injuries, deformities, traumatic injuries and other conditions. That includes repairing torn Achilles tendons with a minimally invasive procedure that shrinks the incision site to less than a centimeter, and performing advanced ankle replacement on some patients with ankle arthritis. Read more about Scripps’ innovations in foot and ankle care here.

Mai Vue was just 34 weeks pregnant when she delivered her baby. Her pregnancy had been complicated, and she’d had a recent second trimester pregnancy loss, which led to her receiving specialized care from Sean Daneshmand, MD, a Scripps Clinic perinatologist who oversees high-risk pregnancies. Dr. Daneshmand and his team took care of Mai during her pregnancy, through the birth of her healthy baby girl and beyond. Mai was part of a program Scripps launched to provide support to new moms in the weeks and months after delivery. The postpartum program, known as Scripps Health’s Fourth Trimester Continuum of Care, provides care for women with high-risk pregnancies to optimize their health after childbirth and reduce the risk of complications in future pregnancies.

It’s estimated that one in five people in the U.S. will develop skin cancer at some point in their lives. When you factor in living in a sun-soaked city like San Diego and the outdoorsy lifestyle that comes with it, that figure can jump to as high as one in three, which makes early detection and intervention all the more important. Dermatologists at Bighorn Mohs and Dermatology Center are using innovative imaging methods and advanced surgical techniques to diagnose and treat skin cancer. For certain cancers in sensitive spots, like the face, dermatologists perform Mohs surgery, removing skin tissue layer by layer until reaching healthy, cancer-free tissue. They also use a process called immunohistochemistry to view tissue samples taken during Mohs surgery in far greater detail than previous methods. Read more about how Scripps is advancing skin cancer care here.

When endurance athlete Isaac Sanchez learned he had cancer, he felt blindsided. He was healthy, surfed often and was training for an Ironman triathlon. But he had to put that on hold to undergo treatment. His physicians at Scripps Cancer Center developed a plan to treat the cancer in his tonsil and lymph nodes that included six-and-a-half weeks of near-daily radiation and weekly chemotherapy. He also worked with a Scripps Cancer Center dietitian to enhance his nutrition to promote strength and healing. Today, Isaac’s back to doing what he loves. Read more of his story here.
