I have found this site very useful:

Cannabinoids can be detected in the urine for 3 to 30+ days.
The half-life of THC concentration ranges between 0.8 to 9.8 days. Generally, there is too much individual variation to approximate how long THC will be detected in the urine. Infrequent users with a fast metabolism will have the shortest detection times. Frequent users with a slow metabolism will have long detection times.
The most effective method for decreasing the detection time period of cannabinoids is by increasing your metabolism:
Such as...
1) Physical activity can increase your metabolic rate as much as 2,000%! Nothing beats proper training taken to an extreme!
2) A high calorie diet is the next best way to increase metabolism. Consuming massive quantities of high calorie food increases metabolic rate by 10%. On the contrary, a poor diet could lower your metabolism by 10%.
3) Speed (i.e. psychostimulants) increases metabolism. Unfortunately, labs usually test for speed too.
4) Drink at least eight 8 fluid-ounce glasses of H2O per day to help rid your body of the toxins and metabolites that have accumulated in the fatty tissues. Drinking lots of water also dilutes the urine, which further increases your chance of passing your test.
Exercise vigoriously, frequently, and with a lot of intensity. And eat big.
The last time I smoked was 11/29/05. After waiting 5 days, I purchased two FDA approved "AtHome Drug Test for Marijuana" kits to screen myself for THC. The test done on 12/04 was negative. The test done on 12/5 was negative too. I passed both times, which is amazing given I last smoked on 11/29!!
Like ya'll say here, you're mileage may vary.
