It stays with you a long time. The elimination phase of dronabinol can be an initial (alpha) half-life of about 4 hours and a terminal (beta) half-life of 25 to 36 hours. Because of its large volume of distribution, dronabinol and its metabolites may be excreted at low levels for prolonged periods of time. Following single dose administration, low levels of dronabinol metabolites have been detected for more than 5 weeks in the urine and feces.

I have heard that YES it can. Consuming very high doses of Marinol can cause death. http://cancer.emedtv.com/marinol/marinol-overdose.html Surely these people cant be ODing on THC. There must be something added or a filler in the marinol. I don't know how much THC is in Marinol but I don't believe that is what causes death. Anyone with info please post.
