Hello,
Thank you for the query.
The direct answer for your question is about 1-4 days but it also depends upon the route of administration as if it is taken intravenouly it will last in our system for long time. If a person use this illegal drug for longer periods of time,it can take upto 10 days to get eliminated from our body.And its half life is about 10 hours so with in that time half of the drug will be eliminated. This is just a general information. Hope it will be helpful.Thank you.
