Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
The elimination half life of cannabis is around 3-20hours. That depend upon the metabolite. Few metabolite are fat soluble and can be detected in urine even after one month. In blood these metabolite are rapidly metabolized. In our case, chances of THC in blood is high due long half life and second a drug need 5 half life u eliminate completely from body that's mean THC need more than 4 days to come out of body.
Thanks
