How Long Do THCA Snow Caps Stay in Your System?

THCA Flower snow caps have arrived at Bloomz, which means that delta 9 lovers can enjoy an even more potent form of flower than ever before.  THCA snow caps are THCA flower buds that have been coated in a layer of THCA diamonds, which are crushed up to create a glimmering powder that looks like snow.  THCA snow caps, naturally, have a super high THCA concentration, which can range from roughly 40-70%, depending on the potency of the strain, and the thickness of the layer of THCA diamond dust.

Now, before you run out and buy THCA snow caps at Bloomz, there’s something important to consider: do THCA snow caps affect the results of a cannabis drug test?  Let’s find out.

The Most Popular Tests for Cannabis Use 

We will go into a lot of detail about the potential for THCA snow caps to lead to a failed drug test result, later on.  Right now, we want to cover the most common types of drug tests performed in the US, since the drug test that you’re administered can have everything to do with the results.

• Urine Test: Urine tests are by far the most common type of drug test in the United States, and almost all employers use this type of test when testing employees for drugs.  Urine tests can show evidence of drug use roughly 2-60 days after the last dose, depending on the amount that’s in the body.  They’re reliable, cheap and have a fast turnaround time, making them a highly efficient means for drug-testing.

• Saliva Test: A saliva test typically detects whether or not certain drugs were taken within the last 10 hours.  And, they’re far more commonly used by law enforcement officers than anyone else, basically to inform them whether or not a person may be intoxicated at the time of the test.  

• Hair Test: Hair tests usually show evidence of drug use within the last 90 days.  They’re not commonly used for employment, as they’re expensive and have a long turnaround time, not to mention somewhat unreliable, and negated if the person cuts or dyes their hair.  

• Blood Test: A blood test only shows if a person is actively high on a substance, as for a person to be intoxicated, they must have the substance in their bloodstream.

• Sweat Test: A sweat test is rarely used for drug-testing, and more associated with clinical trials.  That’s because it’s quite invasive, involving a person attaching an adhesive patch to their skin for 2 weeks, which collects their perspiration.

Can a Drug Test Find THCA?

On paper, THCA is not the same as delta 9 THC.  But, THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the raw acidic cannabinoid that acts as the precursor to delta 9 THC, and that’s not all.  When THCA is heated, like through smoking, vaping, etc., it becomes delta 9.  While we don’t know whether or not drug tests can identify evidence of taking THCA, we know for a fact that they will pick up on delta 9 THC, by design.

If you’re using THCA snow caps, you’re actually consuming a good amount of delta 9 THC – more than you’d get from regular weed flower, in fact.  THCA snow caps must be heated to be used, and that means that inevitably, delta 9 THC will be in your system, as if you took extra-strong marijuana.

And, we want to point out that urine tests, which are by far the most common for drug-testing, aren’t looking for THC, exactly.  What they’re getting their positive result from is trace of THC-COOH – an enzyme that the body produces from THC cannabinoids after we take them.  THC-COOH is a metabolite of THC that remains in the urine for a relatively long time after the actual high wears off, and the delta 9 is no longer in the bloodstream.

How Likely are You to Fail a Drug Test After Partaking in Some THCA Snow Caps?

Now, what if you took THCA snow caps recently despite having a drug test coming up, not realizing that there’s a huge risk of failing the test?  Well, take a deep breath, and consider that there are a number of factors that impact the likelihood of failing.  

Reason #1: How Much You Consumed

The amount of THCA you actually consumed prior to your drug test is going to matter.  Taking a few puffs one time off of some snow caps is different from going through an ounce every couple of days.  The more THCA snowcaps being consumed, the more THC-COOH is in your system, and the longer it will take to break down.  If you took a tiny dose, you may only test positive for a few days, while a heavy dose can linger in the system for weeks.

Reason #2: How Frequently You Consumed It

How often you were taking the flower is also going to matter, for the same reason as above.  Partaking in THCA snow caps each day is not the same as having a little bit once in a while.  The more frequently you took it, the more of a “backlog” of THC-COOH is in your system, and the longer it will take before all of it is gone – in other words, before you’re no longer testing positive.

Reason #3: The Strain You Chose

The THCA concentration will vary from one strain to the next, which will affect how much THC-COOH remains in your system.  THCA flower snowcaps strains can vary in terms of concentration, from roughly 10-30% THCA, which, again, converts into 10-30% THC.  So, that’s something that you may want to consider if you have a test coming up.  Of course, you’ll want to also keep in mind that the application of THCA diamonds to snow caps means that you have to account for even more THC in your system than what’s inherent to the flower strain.

Reason #4: Your Metabolism and Health

How quickly the body metabolizes THC-COOH can vary from person to person, as some people’s metabolisms simply work more quickly than others.  Not only that, but factors related to diet, hydration levels, hormonal balance, and even whether or not you’ve been sick recently can all change the pace at which the body metabolizes compounds like THC-COOH.

How Long Does it Take for THC to Leave Your Body and Can You Flush It Out Quickly?

Now, you can see that there’s no guaranteed time at which point THC-COOH is no longer detectable in the body.  There are all kinds of variables that each play a role in how long it will take an individual to “flush it out” of the body.  

At the same time, people are naturally going to wonder if there’s some trick to flushing THC-COOH out quickly, in preparation for an upcoming drug test.  First, let’s make one thing clear: there is no guaranteed method for getting THC-COOH out of the body within a certain timeframe.  However, taking into account the methods below may help rid the body of the enzyme more quickly.

1. Hydration: Drinking plenty of water is believed to help flush out the system, and may help flush out THC-COOH as well.  However, excessive water intake right before a drug test can dilute the urine, which might be flagged as suspicious by testing authorities.
2. Exercise: THC is stored in fat cells, so activities that help burn fat, like cardiovascular exercises, might theoretically speed up the detox process.  This is more of a long-term strategy and may not be effective in the short term.
3. Healthy Diet: Eating a diet high in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins can support the body’s natural detoxification processes.  Avoiding processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats is generally advised.
4. Detox Drinks and Kits: There are various products on the market claiming to cleanse the body of THC rapidly.  Their effectiveness is highly debated, and some might even be harmful or cause you to fail a drug test for tampering.
5. Saunas and Sweating: Some believe that sweating through exercise or sauna use can help eliminate THC through the skin.  However, there’s limited scientific evidence to support this method as effective for speeding up THC elimination.
6. Abstinence: Naturally, the most foolproof way to clear THC from your system is to stop consuming it.  The body will gradually break down and eliminate THC, but this process can take weeks to months depending on the factors mentioned above.

Note: Approach any method with caution and be aware of the potential risks and limitations.  None of these methods can guarantee the rapid clearance of THC, especially if facing a drug test on short notice.  Additionally, attempting to cheat or tamper with a drug test can have serious legal and personal consequences.

Bottom Line: Using THCA Snow Caps Greatly Increases Your Risk of Failing a Drug Test

The unfortunate reality is that while THCA snow caps are a legal cannabis product under federal law, that doesn’t really matter to the person who’s administering your drug test – and, if you fail, you can’t prove that what you were taking was legal, if the person who administered the test even cares.  Because of this, the best advice we can give you is to abstain from THCA snow caps until a drug test is no longer looming in the near future.
