Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
IT is extremely difficult to say for sure how long marijuana will remain in your system. There are a number of factors that contribute to this uncertainty, such as the dose that you smoked, method of intake, duration and frequency of use and your body’s metabolism rate. On top of all that, various drug tests have different levels of accuracy and cut-off limits.
As studies have shown, the chances of testing positive for marijuana – even after a break in use – are much higher if you happen to be a regular user as opposed to someone who has just smoked once or twice in the past few weeks.
For regular and heavy users, it might linger for upto 4 - 8 weeks in the system, and for infrequent, occasional users, it generally is not detected after 2 - 3 weeks.
If you abstain till delivery, chances are that you would test clean.
All the best
