    The half life of THC in fatty tissue is approx. 20 hours to 10 days

    Half life is the amount of time it takes for half of the chemical to break apart. I dont think i used the right word for this.... I think Half life only applies to elements???

    actually it's not relevent at all

    THC has no half life, because the only elements regarded to have a half life are radio-active elements, Half life is the time is takes half the atoms in a radioactive substance to disinegrate

    this is a stupid question anyways because half-life has no effect on how long somthing stays in your blood

    half-life means: the time it takes for 50% of a shrinking measure of units to deplete.

    this can be radioactive decay (isotope-halflife), decompositional decay, or in THIS case, either the halflife of thc presence in the body or halflife of active cannabinoids in the brain.

    halflife in the body can be days to week/s.

    activity halflife in the brain can be half an hour to an hour and a half or so if smoked

    btw i believe the radioactive halflife refers to isotopic breakdown, but not elemental breakdown. ie, the halflife refers to how long it will tkae for the radiation to dissolve, not for the atoms to disintegrate

    lol thats even more stupid then your original question, do u plan on keeping weed for like a year before smoking?

    and bill, if u search for the actuall definition of half-life, it's defined as the time it takes a radioactive element to disinegrate half of it's atom

    Well it depends on a few things

    A)Where your bud is stored

    and

    B)How your bud is stored

    If you keep it in an area with UV rays, your bud will die very very quickly. Also, flourescent lights or regular lamps in your home play an important role in sucking the life force out of your bud.

    Also, if it is stored in an area where air or moisture can get to it, that is another problem. Some people like to put their bud in a mason jar, a little glass bud jar with the cork stop, or humidors (things for cigars). I myself just keep my bud in a little box i've had for a long time. It's black so no light gets in, as well as being air tight.

    You must keep in mind elements play a big part and deciding how long the elements last in your bud. It's elementary!

    I guess im the only one who notices almost every post of his is sarcastic. Not only that but he disses the newb smokers who have questions, I for one cant stand that shit. You want to be respected then respect others.
