Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

In non addicts coke 1gram takes 5 to 6 hrs to completely wash out from body. Half life is 1 hr.

In chronic users(addicts) the half life increases depending on the degree of chronicity .

And metabolites stay for longer period in blood upto 8 days in both addicts and non addicts.
it also depends on liver and kidney function.

The above mentioned time is for a person with normal liver and kidney function.


Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.
