Some THC metabolites have a half-life of 20 hours, while others like THC-COOH have a half-life of 13 days, according to High Times. A 2014 study found that regular marijuana users have traces of marijuana in their urine for about two weeks, according to High Times.
Marijuana can stay in the urine for up to two months in cases of very frequent, prolonged use. Basically, the more you use marijuana, the longer it will remain in your urine. If you have just tried marijuana, for example, and that was your only use, it will probably be out of your urine within a week. The time that marijuana stays in the system depends on the amount of marijuana intake and the frequency at which it is consumed. - When you smoke marijuana, your body breaks it down like it would anything else. The products of this breakdown are known as metabolites. The main metabolite of marijuana is THC-COOH.
