Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC can stay in a persons system from 2 to up to 90 days depending on several variables such as height, weight, physical fitness and substance usage. Occasional users would be clean within one week, a daily user can take up to one month, and a constant user can take up to almost 3 months.
According to the website of Columbia University's Health Services:
Marijuana itself does not "stay" in your system, but the main chemical in marijuana, THC, does. In fact, it may stay in your system forever because it is stored in fatty tissues of various organs.
Despite being stored in body fat, THC is onlydetectable for a certain amount of time. There are many variables that determine how long THC will remain detectable in your system, including amount used, frequency, metabolism, and the concentration of the plant. Many drug tests, including urine tests, look for 9-carboxy-THC which is the by-product of your body metabolizing the THC in your fat.
Marijuana Detection Times:
Frequent users blood drug test (defined as someone who smokes several times per week)
THC: 4-8 hours after smoking.
THC by-product: 2 or more weeks after smoking.
Frequent users urine drug test
THC by-product: 2 weeks to a month after smoking (3 months for extremely heavy users)
Infrequent users blood drug test
THC: 3-4 hours after smoking
THC by-product: 2-3 days after smoking.
Infrequent users urine drug test
THC by-product: up to 10 days after smoking.

How long does marijuana stay in your system if you smoke 4 hits a day?
It's dependent on your body, if you weigh less it'll go through your system faster, as a general rule, it'll usually take 3-6 days if you weigh less than 200 pounds being a male or less than 180 pounds being a female. Drinking lots of water in that time period helps a lot IMO, running and working out helps a lot to, as it can sweat it out and burn the fat that the THC and other cannibinoids can be detected in. Also, using the excuse that you've used Marinol recently could help as well, marinol is a schedule III drug meaning that it can be legally perscribed by a doctor and isn't considered dangerous at all, though it is more dangerous than weed. The active ingredient in marinal is dronibinol which is synthetic THC so it would be detected the same way. I wouldn't recommend using marinol instead of weed to get high though, it does give you a high, but it's unpleasant, short, and just a disappointment. -Axelsalsa

How long does marijuana stay in a pets system?
Depends on how it was administered.
How long does eating marijuana stay your system?
It depends. The only real difference between orally ingesting cannabis and smoking the herb is that marijuana enters your body much quicker and is has a much more potent effect than if you just eat weed, but marijuana is only detectable in your blood stream for up to a few hours after first entering it. Many factors contribute to how long marijuana will stay in your body. For instance; if you have a faster metabolism than your friend and you both smoke the same amount of weed at the same time, chances are you will have naturally been completely detoxed before your friend. Other factors include your weight, your diet, how much marijuana you smoke/eat, and how much you exercise. If you are worried about passing a drug test there are many ways to quickly purge your system. THC (the main chemical in marijuana) is fat soluble, meaning it sticks to your fat cells and eventually breaks down over time. Drinking lots of water helps to naturally detox your system by breaking down the THC in your system and flushing it out. Another more popular way is to buy detox products. You can pick these up anywhere (CVS, GNC, any local head shop), although they can be quite expensive, they are well worth the money as they are quite effective (and I say that from personal experience). If I were you, I would make sure to drink a lot of water every day, and spend some time running every time, it works for me every time. But just as a word of warning, everybody is different, I have a very fast metabolism, so marijuana breaks down in my system very quickly, therefore simply running and drinking water will suffice. I can pass a drug test in 10 days while many people have to wait a month, or even 90 days. So with that I'll leave you this advice. Run and drink plenty of water every day. Then pick up a simple urine drug test at any local pharmacy. If you test negative you don't have to worry about spending money on an expensive detox product. If you test positive dig up 30 bucks and go detox (remember to drink plenty of water before and after you detox!!), this way you really can't fail a drug test. Good luck!
