Hi,

Joint has cannabis in it and its active ingredient can be detected for upto 3-5 days in urine for occasional users. But for regular users, it is usually longer and can be even a moth depending on frequency and amount of usage. There is also a hair follicle test for cannabis which can detect it upto 90 days after last usage.

There is no way to increase the removal of cannabis from the body. It cleans out on its own.

I do hope that I was able to help you with your query.

Best wishes,

Dr. Sunil Gupta
