When it is not being stored in your fat cells, it is filtered and metabolized by the liver using enzymes. It is first metabolized into THC-OH, then further metabolized into THC-COOH. THC itself cannot pass directly out of your body (it is water insoluble) but the THC-OH and THC-COOH can exit through the urine. These are what drug tests detect, which explains why you can be clean and smoke a joint immediately before a drug test and pass with flying colors but then fail a day or 2 later.

Time is the only thing that will get it out. It takes about 30 days.
