(PharmaNewsWire.Com, October 30, 2017 ) Cannabis Testing methods are used for discerning usage of cannabis in the fields of law, medicine and sport. The usage is detected by tests like hair testing, saliva testing, urine testing and blood testing. Unlike the alcohol detection by using breathalysers, detecting the usage of cannabis requires a lot of time by using any method. Tests like Duquenois-Levine can discern cannabis usage in a short time, but various other substances also gave false positive tests with the method.
Cannabis use by urine testing can be made out in the time period of 2-5 days after usage in infrequent users and about 15 days in heavy users. Blood testing is not used often since it is invasive. It can detect usage within 12-24 hours of exposure time in infrequent users and 7 days in heavy users. By hair testing usage can be detected even after 90 days of exposure and can detect concentrations as low as 1 pg/mg of sample. Through saliva testing, abuse can be observed in a window of 3 days, but it can detect compounds with concentration even in the range of 0.5 ng/mL.
