The Edibles Drug Test Calculator is designed to estimate the time it takes for THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, to become undetectable in the body after consuming edibles. Unlike smoking or vaping, where THC enters the bloodstream rapidly and diminishes quickly, edibles introduce THC through the digestive system, leading to a delayed onset and a prolonged presence in the body. This tool factors in various personal attributes such as gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference, and age to provide a personalized estimate of THC clearance time.
Formula of Edibles Drug Test Calculator
The calculator employs a comprehensive formula that integrates several physiological factors to approximate how long THC will remain detectable in one’s system.
- Gender Factor (G):
- Males = 1.0
- Females = 1.1 (due to generally higher body fat)
BMI = (Weight in kg) / (Height in meters)^2
- Waist Circumference Factor (W):
- W <= 76.2 cm = 0.9
- 76.2 cm < W <= 101.6 cm = 1.0
- W > 101.6 cm = 1.1
- Age Factor (A):
- A <= 30 years = 0.9
- 30 < A <= 50 years = 1.0
- A > 50 years = 1.1
Estimated Clearance Time (days) = Base Clearance Time * G * BMI Factor * W Factor * A Factor
- BMI Factor:
- BMI <= 25 = 0.9
- 25 < BMI <= 30 = 1.0
- BMI > 30 = 1.1
Variables used in the formula:
G
(Gender Factor)Weight in kg
Height in meters
W
(Waist Circumference in inches or cm)A
(Age in years)BMI
(Body Mass Index)

Example of Edibles Drug Test Calculator
Consider a 28-year-old female, weighing 70 kg, with a height of 1.65 meters, and a waist circumference of 82 cm. Assuming she’s a moderate user, let’s calculate her THC clearance time.
- Calculate BMI: 70 / (1.65)^2 = 25.71
- Determine the Base Clearance Time (for moderate users): 10 days
- Apply the formula with corresponding factors.
This practical example illustrates how users can employ the calculator to estimate the duration THC might remain detectable in their system, factoring in personal physiological attributes.
Most Common FAQs
Yes, edibles can lead to a longer detection window for THC in drug tests due to the slower metabolism and release of THC into the bloodstream.
While the calculator provides a close estimate based on physiological factors, individual metabolic rates and the sensitivity of the drug test can influence actual detection times.
Some remedies may claim to expedite detoxification, but evidence supporting their efficacy varies. Hydration, diet, and exercise can influence overall metabolism but may not drastically alter THC clearance times.
