Marijuana comes from the cannabis plant. Cannabis contains about 500 different components, but only one active ingredient-delta-9-THC, or THC for short, which affects your nerve receptors and brain cells. THC is most effectively absorbed when you smoke marijuana, and has a fairly rapid effect. It circulates fairly quickly through the body, but in most cases it will leave your system within five days, depending on the amount you take. Although in chronic users, THC will most likely be stored in the adipose tissue around your body, which can take 10 to 20 days to leave your system.
