How Long Does Tetrahydrocannabinol Stay In The System?

I took a urine test for thc and it came back inconclusive. Now it is being sent to the lab. This is for a pre employment. Haven't smoked thc in 5 days but was a heavy smoker prior to stopping. I'm 5'9 and 230 lbs. What are the chances of the lab sending it back saying it's a clean test?

Well there can be many factors that decide that for how long Tetrahydrocannabinol will stay in system like the quantity of marijuana consumed, frequency of use, method of consumption,individual body and even what you eat and drink . ome tetrahydrocannabinol metabolites have an elimination half life of 20 hours, while others are stored in body fat and have elimination half lives of 10 to 13 days.
