Still detecteable

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Marijunana metabolite THC-COOH will remain in the body depending on how much was being smoked and genetic make up of the individuals. If urine is tested then it can last upto 100 days in the body and upto 7 days in the blood. So stopping just for 3 days is not enough, you really need to be off it for several weeks. If you have a prescription for it then I dont think you will have any problem.
If you are having difficulty in getting off of it then please seek a rehab facility.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
