cocaine can stay in your system from 24 to 72 hours depending on your metabolism. Marijuana is a bit harder to tell because THC is fat soluble, not water soluble, and depends on the percentage of body fat you have along with the speed of your metabolism but a general estimate would be from two weeks to six months, with two months being a good guide to use for an average sized person.

Why do marijuana take so long to leave you urine?

Marijuana contains THC. Because THC contains so many carbon atoms and so few oxygen atoms, it likes to deposit itself in the fat molecules of human beings. Because of this, we say THC is fat soluble. (Compare this to cocaine which has twice as many oxygen atoms, and instead likes to deposit itself into urine. We say cocaine is water soluble because of this.) Because the molecules like to stay in fat, they take a long time to leave the body. (Compare this to cocaine which leaves the body quickly through urination.) Remember, your body doesn't burn fat very fast, but you pee many times in a day. So marijuana can show up for weeks or months, while other drugs which are water soluble leave in a matter of hours or days.
