That is a REALLY long time. If one smokes 1 time, 4-7 days is the duration for urine testing. This goes up quite a bit if one were a chronic daily heavy smoker since marjiuauana stays in fat. BUT 1-2 months is about the limit even with heavy smokers. The one slight exception if someone were fat while smoking and suddenly lost wiehgt, TH stored fatty breakdown would be stored in the fat and can come out again if fat is broken down by a major loss of weight.
