How Long Is Cannabis Traceable In The Body?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    It can be traced for a very long time, but most tests are not designed to go back that far in your history, because it would be very expensive. Most of them will go back for 30 days or a little less.

    There are many variables in this which is why there really isn't a good "rule of thumb", especially with marijuana.

      It depends on a lot of factors including your body fat % (THC, which is the cannabinoid that testing measures/looks for gets absorbed into your lipids), rate of metabolism, the amount of the drug used, duration of use (e.g. How long have you been using), and of course the type of marijuana used (since the THC content can vary widely from strain to strain).

      An average person, who has smoked once will have THC traces be detectable for 2-4 weeks. A heavy user of high grade marijuana can have it detectable for up to 3 months.

      Of course, this is based on the assumption that the drug test in question will be a urinalysis, which is most common, and not another form such as hair sampling. There are a lot of variables in determining the length of detectability in the various other forms of testing. Whats more, even with urinalysis testing, the cut off for the detectable levels of cannabinoids varies widely.
