| Abstract | BACKGROUND: For what duration may cannabinoids be detected in urine after cessation of cannabis use? Medical literature has been reviewed to shed light on the most important issues regarding excretion and detection of cannabinoids, and how to correctly interpret the findings. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The article is based on the author's experience with interpreting urine drug screening results and on a non-systematic search for relevant literature on pharmacokinetics and urinary excretion of cannabinoids. RESULTS: Cannabis users are usually identified through detection of 11-nor-9-corboxy-Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THCCOOH) in urine. Depending on the extent of use, THCCOOH may be detectable in urine from a few days up to three months after cessation of cannabis use. To correctly differentiate between new intake and residual drug excretion, the urinary THCCOOH concentrations must be measured quantitatively and the interpretation must take into account urine dilution and the time span between the dates of specimen collection. Information about the extent of cannabis use and the potential sanctions involved, may influence on how results are interpreted. INTERPRETATION: Differentiating new cannabis intake from residual excretion can be difficult in chronic users. The most precise interpretations are achieved through an open dialogue between client, clinician and laboratory. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
