There has been much speculation over cranberry juice, and whether it will help you with a marijuana detox. Because of this speculation, we did some research and came to the conclusion that doing a cranberry juice detox will indeed help get marijuana out of your system, here’s how it works:

Cranberry Juice Detox & Marijuana

Cranberry Juice Detox

It must first be stated that doing a cranberry juice detox is definitely not a “cure-all” but more of a method to help get rid of marijuana from your system. The effectiveness of this detox method all depends on how much marijuana you’ve smoked and for how long you’ve been smoking at that rate. Obviously, somebody that hardly ever smokes will be easier to detox, than somebody that smokes all day, everyday.

With that said, one of the best ways to get marijuana out of your system is to urinate frequently. Because cranberry juice is a diuretic, it will make you do just that. While doing a cranberry juice detox, it is recommended that you drink at least 3–4 glasses of cranberry juice every day, for at least 10-14 days. If possible, try to get fresh, organic cranberry juice with a low-amount of sugar.

It is also recommended that you refrain from smoking marijuana while doing the cranberry juice detox.

Cranberry Juice Detox: Step-by-Step Instructions


Another good thing about doing a cranberry juice detox is that it can actually help you lose a little bit of weight. Of course, this same amount of weightloss can be achieved by eating more fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. If you want to lose weight while following this detox method, then it is recommended that you do it for at least 3 weeks.

  • Step 1 — First thing every morning, you will dilute your cranberry juice into water, approximately one part juice to three parts water. You also want to add 1 tablespoon of powdered psyllium fiber and one tablespoon of apple pectin. Mix vigirously. Then chug this “cranberry concocjtion” as fast as you can. You want to make sure you drink this BEFORE you eat breakfast. After you drink it, eat a light breakfast consisting of organic fruits and whole grains.
  • Step 2 — You will repeat step one before lunch and dinner. Do NOT eat any red meat, milk or alcohol while doing the cranberry juice detox. Try to eat as many fruits as you can. Nuts and seeds are also a easy and healthy snack. Any extra times you want to drink the above mixture, will help, but not necessary.
  • Step 3 — To help you with the cranberry juice detox, you will want to take 2 capsules of dandelion leaf three times a day for the first week. Dandelion leaf will help you cleanse the marijuana, and other toxins, out of your system faster than normal.
  • Step 4 — Repeat the first two steps everyday for the firt two weeks of the detox.
  • Step 5 — Once you enter into the 2nd week of the detox, you can stop taking the capsules of dandelion leaf. Instead, you will want to switch over to taking astragalus capsules, as well as a good chlorella supplement. These will also help the detox, but provide you with necessary nutrients.
  • Step 6 — At the beginning of the third week, you can stop taking the psyllium amd apple pectin, but you will want to continue drinking as much cranberry juice as you can handle. In the middle of the 3rd week, you can also stop taking the astragalus and chlorella.

After the Cranberry Juice Detox

Of course, it is recommended that while doing this detox cleanse, you want to follow a regular workout routine that will help burn fat, as the THC is stored in your fat cells. This will help ensure that your detox works. After the cranberry cleanse, it is recommended that you do a liver cleanse, as this will also help get toxins out of your system.
