About 30 days to get it plainly out of your system. Drink tons of waters every chance you get to flush out your system of the toxins that shows up in the pee test. Don't smoke anymore!!!

Hmmm, usually a question like this is hard to answer because you haven't provided enough information about your usage.
I will, however, do my best to try and answer your question, and point you in the right direction as far as substantiating what I've said here...
Typically, THC takes a while to metabolize, depending on your usage, it can be excreted anywhere from three days to a month or longer. If you are a regular smoker of marijuana, it might take longer than thirty days to get THC out of your system. if you are only an occasional user, it might take thirty days or less. It just depends on you.
Some ways to help speed up your rate of metabolization are to increase physical activity, sweat, and so forth. Diuritics have been known to work well for some people too.
There are herbal and holistic supplements on the market which either help you speed up your metabolism, clean out your system, or "mask" the THC in your urine.
If you are taking a urine test, you might be able to use a product which masks THC. If you're taking a hair strand test, don't even bother to show up. =)
As a last resort, you CAN dilute your urine to the point where you're excreting mostly water. You must consume anywhere from one to two gallons of water prior to taking your test. (Give yourself a few hours, like three to four minimum...)
If, for some reason, this isn't an option, if you're not watched during your test you could always either dip some water from the toilet into the sample, or add some from the tap. =) Do, however, keep in mind that some urinalysis kits test the temperature of your specimen, so add WARM water. =)
Lastly, if all else fails, you can *ahem* have someone you know is clean submit your sample for you so long as you are able to keep it at the proper temperature for a specimen. There is information about this method of "substition" available for perusal online.
Cheers, and good luck. You will have to search the archives at the sites I've included for information regarding your specific needs. I do hope you find what you're looking for.

30 days, depending on your metabolism.
There are things you can take that are supposed to clear out your system, but they're not 100% effective. Drink TONS of water.
And stay away from poppyseeds, they show up as heroin on the pee test.

A month. I don't care how many people tell you cranberry juice, water, or over the counter cleansers. My friend used those cleansers from the head shop and still failed.
