How Long Does Marijuana Stay In The Body?

hi. I was stupid and used to smoke marijuana frequently. I graduated top of my class and a year early from college-so I promise I'm no bum. I have a drug test maybe tomorrow maybe next week, but it is a hair follicle test. I have been clean since May 1st for sure. So I am at a 3 month mark now. should I be ok?

Psychologist Dr. Elliott Sewell's  Response
if you are not currently using marijuana and you use it one time ONLY ( one joint or one pipe load) it will take 3 -5 days for your system to be cleansed of the medication. if you are not currently using marijuana and use it several times over the course of 2 -3 days it will take approx 2 -3 weeks after for your system to be cleansed of the medication. if you are a regular daily marijuana user it will take 1 - 3 MONTHS after stopping the medication for your body to be cleansed of it. if you are overweight it will take longer than if you are a normal weight for your body to cleanse itself of the medication as THC ( the active ingredient in marijuana ) is stored in the bodys fat cells. also the heavier your use of course the longer it will take for your body to cleanse but regular daily users should expect a minimum of 30 days for your body to cleanse.
