The paper " Chemistry, Metabolism and Toxicology of Cannabis: Clinical Implications ," published in the Iranian Journal of Psychiatry, describes how THC is "rapidly absorbed through lungs after inhalation" and "quickly reaches high concentration in blood," which travels through the lungs to be oxygenated by the air you breathe. Weed consumed in edible form, however — which can have stronger , longer-lasting effects — is largely metabolized by the liver, greatly reducing the overall amount of THC that enters the bloodstream.
Where it gets interesting, however, is how THC sticks around after you've enjoyed its immediate effects. Because THC is fat-soluble as opposed to, say, alcohol, which is water-soluble , it penetrates your fatty tissues as it gradually disappears from the blood. The result is that you can retain active THC in your fat deposits for about three weeks. And as your body metabolizes that fat, it slowly redistributes the THC back into your bloodstream. The more one uses marijuana, the more THC gets stored for later release into blood.
But THC concentration in blood plasma peaks three to 10 minutes after inhalation, or one to two hours after oral ingestion. The amount of THC found in your blood in the days and weeks afterward is residual by comparison, and certainly doesn't indicate that you're stoned the whole time: The high from inhalation, by comparison, lasts just two hours, and an edible high can typically last about four to six hours.
In other words, trace amounts of THC don't reveal a whole lot about how much weed you've consumed, or when — only that you did so in the not-too-distant past. Blood-based drug tests screen for a wide variety of illicit substances and have short detection windows for most, meaning they're typically used to establish very recent drug use.

Just so you know, most blood tests ordered by a doctor are checking for everything else except drugs. If you are that worried I would suggest simply asking next time what are you being tested for when you see you doctor or see the person drawing your blood. I agree if it has been over a month even if they checked for drugs it should't be a problem. Joined: Nov 8, Messages: Likes Received: My doctors all kbow i smoke weed everyday and do drugs.
