SwiMs friend was recently informed if an impending urine test. This friend wanted SwiM to find the approximate time it would take for 20mg diazepam to clear from his system?
No telling. Diazepam has a long half life, much longer than xanax and rohypnol. It is stored in fat cells so it can stay in your system for up to 6 weeks if you are heavy set and lazy as sin.
For a normal person 7-10 days is about the amount of time it will show up on a drug test. Keep in mind most tests are not designed to find diazpeam, only extended tests.
SWIM made a post about it a while back. He remembered reading that benzos were stored in fat tissue he will try to find a reference. Anyone else have one?

"Recovery is interspersed with periods of intense withdrawal symptoms. This is not fully understood but is probably connected with the fat-soluble nature of the drug, its long-term storage in the body's fat cells and its cyclical release into the blood stream over many years."

"Benzodiazepines are also fat soluble which means that they are extremely slow to leave the body: months after the last tablet has been taken the drugs are still present in fat cells."
not everything you read on the internet is true but many sites say benzos are stored in fatcells and can stay in the body for a long time in many cases.
