How Long Does a THC Seltzer Stay in Your System?

One of the most common questions people have about cannabis beverages is: how long does a THC seltzer stay in your system? While the effects of a Louie Louie THC seltzer may only last a couple of hours, the exact amount of time depends on a variety of factors, from your metabolism to how often you consume cannabis.

The Difference Between Feeling It and Detecting It

It’s important to distinguish between the effects of THC seltzers and the presence of THC in your body.

  • Effects: With Louie Louie, you’ll typically feel the buzz within 10–15 minutes, and it lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours.

  • Detection: Even after the high wears off, trace amounts of THC can remain in your system for days or even weeks.  It is advised to use caution if you will be taking a drug test.

  • Regardless of whether the THC in the drink comes from marijuana or is derived from hemp, standard drug tests are designed to detect the presence of THC and its metabolites in the body. 

  • When you consume a THC seltzer, your body absorbs the THC through the digestive system and liver, breaking it down into a metabolite called THC-COOH. This metabolite, not the THC itself, is what most drug tests look for.

  • Louie Louie uses nanoemulsion technology to make the THC water-soluble and fast-acting. This allows for quicker absorption, but it does not prevent THC from being metabolized and stored in the body.

How Long THC Can Stay in Your System*

Everyone’s body processes THC differently, but here are some general timelines often cited:

  • Occasional users: THC may stay detectable for 1–3 days.

  • Moderate users (a few times per week): THC can remain for up to a week.

  • Frequent users: Detection may last 10–30 days or more.

These windows vary based on body type, hydration, diet, and activity level. Unlike alcohol, which leaves your system relatively quickly, THC binds to fat cells, which is why it can stick around longer.

Why This Matters

Even though Louie Louie THC seltzers provide a light, sessionable high, it’s important to remember that THC may remain detectable long after the buzz wears off. If you’re subject to testing, you’ll want to plan accordingly and understand how your body metabolizes cannabis.
