How Long Does Marijuana Stay In The Body?

I am 17 years old weighing around 160 and a height of 5 foot 10. I am active in many physical activities so I sweat a lot. If I smoked 3 bowls worth of marijuana last week, would I have a chance to pass a drug test within 15 days? If so, what is the best way of doing so?

It depends. Oh, nevermind. Yes. You will pass.

Ok, here's why. Marijuana is oily and sticky. The test measures a small amount of the breakdown product of it which is only slightly less sticky. The breakdown product accumulates in body fat WHICH YOU DO NOT HAVE. In theory, if you used 3 bowls (really needs to be a bit more) daily, for a long time, then, in theory, THE BODY FAT YOU DON"T HAVE, would accumulate marijuana stuff and it would come out erratically for over a month after quitting. BUT:
1) you don't smoke that much
2) I assume you don't smoke daily
3) YOU HAVE NO FAT FOR IT TO GET INTO

so, one use goes out in 5 to 7 days. this is twice that. Very unlikely to show up.
