focalin XR's main ingredient causing psychotropic stimulation is methylphenidate, much like concerta. the stimulating effects of the drug typically last between at the very least 4 hours and at the most 12 hours, depending on how you react to the drug and how well your body metabolizes it. someone who metabolizes the drug poorly will have a shorter duration of effect from it. however, my best answer would be around 6 to 8 hours for a typical adult.
Focalin XR will not fail you on a drug test for THC as this is the active ingredient in Marijuana, however, Focalin XR can make you test positive for other drugs such as opium, and certain pills.

Focalin is a drug used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is a federally controlled substance because it can lead to dependence and be abused.
A medication's "half-life" is a simple standard of reference. It assists prescribing physicians/PA's/NP's in comparing the length of time medications remain active and effective in the body. This elapsed time often influences a prescriber's choice of medication based on individual patient need. The term comes from the length of time it takes for half of the original dose of the drug to remain in the patient's bloodstream. One example of this is the comparitively long half-life of the older tranquilizer Valium (diazepam) vs. the very short half-life of Xanax (alprazolam) a much newer tranquilizer which has become widely prescribed due in part to its fast-acting, yet quickly subsiding effect.
