why do drugs stay in one’s system for much longer than their effect? For example, diazepam stays in a person’s system 8-10 days, but it’s effects last 4-5 hours? Why the difference?
In: Chemistry
From my understanding, drugs affect the brain by traveling via the bloodstream. As your blood circulates, it’s being filtered by the kidneys, slowly removing the drugs from your bloodstream. Kidneys filter blood by removing waste and extra water to create urine, however this process takes time and also depends how much and often you smoke to expell it all via urine.
