The : The metabolite of thc (delta-9-tetrahyrocannabinol) is measured; which is called thc-cooh. The metabolite has a long elimination time and can be present in regular users for 7 to 100 days in urine and 2 to 7 days in blood. If you have been a heavy, long time user - there are reports of positive drug screens even beyond 100 days. Even it you have not smoked marijuna in 72 days, if you are in the presence of people who are smoking, you can get a positive urine drug screen from second hand smoke.

Stored in the Fat: Cannabis is stored in the fat and so tends to linger around longer in patients with more fat. Also the testing we do on cannabis levels is not always that precise..In particular, the same sample might have significantly different levels found on repeat testing. So your levels may have gone down more than indicated. Bottom line, it sounds like you are doing well and hope you feel better.
