Weed is the most commonly used and tested for drug in the USA and other countries. The impact weed has on the pot smoker and detection time rest upon its potency, which is related to the amount of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) it contains.
When you ask the question "How long does pot stay in your body?", you need to take into account the fact that there is no definite answer to the question. THC can stay in the body for as long as 3-90 days after administration. There are a great many factors determining for how much time drug toxins stay in the system, such as your well-being, your body weight, metabolic conversion, the type of drug, the degree of exposure to the drug toxin, etc.
The speed at which marijuana leaves your body rests both upon the speed of your metabolic process and on the half-life of THC. THC is estimated to have a half-life that ranges from 1 to 10 days. It is almost impossible to determine what that half life is, which means that it is very difficult to use it to estimate how long it will take THC to leave your system.
The type of test conducted can also have an influence on whether or not pot is detected. While urine testing is the most common, it is also the least accurate. Weed can still be detected in a urine testing up to a month after the last administration. If you smoke it from time to time, it will remain in your system for as long as 10 days. If you smoke marijuana on a regular basis, it will stay in your body up to 45 days, and if you smoke pot at a constant pace, it can remain in the body up to 90 days.
Blood tests are much more precise, though more pricey. As THC is stored in the fat cells of the major organs, the chemical is gradually released over time into the bloodstream, where it finally passes through the liver, and then leaves the system.
Hair drug tests are the most accurate, because hair "records" everything your system has been through while that hair was growing. Nevertheless, testing of hair is very pricey and rarely done by employers.
