A member asked:
Would drinking a lot of water help cannabis leave breastmilk? what will? i took 10 hits & i don't plan on doing again. should i continue to breastfeed

Yes in while: An amount of 10 hits of cannabis laced inhaled smoke will degrade to negligible blood and breast milk levels in a few hours. If there is a circumstance that blood or urine will be tested for cannabis within the next week or so there is a likelihood of positivity even for trace amounts.

Water doesn't help: Water is good for you overall, but it won't help cannabis leave your breast milk any sooner. Because thc is stored in fat, you are at the service of your body's ability and schedule to process it. Your milk may remain positive for weeks. Please do not breast feed if you smoke marijuana. Feed your baby formula instead. Please also talk with your pediatrician about this.
