How Long Does Cannabis Stay in the System

Date: 1 March, 2023

There are many factors...

After cannabis use, the amount of time that the drug remains in an individual’s body varies. Within a few hours of cannabis consumption, metabolites can be detected in a person’s urine. The presence of cannabis metabolites can continue to be detected up to a few days after a single dose of THC, or up to 30 days or longer following heavy usage.

There are many factors that determine how long it can be detected:

Frequency of consumption
Dosage levels
How long ago it was last consumed
The drug test sensitivity
Your metabolism
Body composition, specifically body fat levels of the person (THC binds to fat in the body)
