How Long Does THC Stay in Your System?

Cannabis is fat-soluble, meaning that THC is stored in your body’s fat cells. Once you consume cannabis, the THC gets absorbed into your fat and released slowly over time. This is why the detection window is so much longer for cannabis than for other substances. And it’s also why factors like body fat, metabolism, and how often you consume cannabis all play a big role in how long it stays in your system.
