• The main ingredient of Marijuana, THC (TetraHydraCannabinol), has a half-life of about 10 days. The metabolic rate of the individual user will be the determining factor as to how long the THC will be detected in the urine. Users with fast metabolic rates and low usage will have the shortest detection times, while chronic use of Marijuana combined with slow metabolic rates will extend detection times. Fluid intake before the tests will also have a determining factor, high amounts of liquids such as water (in multiple liters) will likely flush the system fairly fast for infrequent users. The smartest thing is to allow maximum time needed for THC to be out of the system; thus, estimates of up to 60 days are best and w…
