I thought I'd share this experience from a first hand account.
Being a habitual pot smoker. I'd been tested 19 days in to being clean and tested negative for THC. A couple days later a tragic accident happened, one of my friends died. I was an emotional wreck, sadness, anger...
On day 22 I tested positive.
My emotional upheaval must have brought some of those buggers out of my fat cells or something. But this did really happen.
