Brief Answer:
Minumum of 7 to 10 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for giving me an opportunity to address your query.

According to me time taken for most drugs including marijuana depends on various factors such as frequency, dosage and last time of use, genetic makeup, the state of metabolism, digestive and excretory systems and above all the sensitivity and specificity of the test employed for detection.

If you are not a regular user then upto 7 to 10 days (subject to variation depending on the above mentioned factors) is the approximate detection time in urine post usage.Fast metabolism and good hydration can have a marginal effect in helping the drug to get excreted faster.

Hope this answers your query.
