The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) found the azo dyes Fast Blue B (3,3'-dimethoxybiphenyl-4,4'-bisdiazonium chloride [15]) and Fast Blue BB (4-benzoylamino-2,5-diethoxybenzenediazonium chloride [16]) superior to Duquenois–Levine, and are currently the most recommended reagents used for cannabinoid testing.
For alcohol, the cutoff is uniform: A blood alcohol concentration above 0.08 percent. But there is no standard cutoff for THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana.
In contrast, THC levels can vary widely depending on the means of ingestion, THC is metabolized at an exponentially declining rate (as opposed to the steady metabolization rate for alcohol), and there is very poor correlation of THC blood levels with impairment.
That’s another tricky question. Unlike the blood alcohol limit — which is easier to define and detect with roadside tests — cannabis intoxication isn’t as clear cut. “The general rule is ...
Food such as fructose can increase the rate of alcohol metabolism. The effect can vary significantly from person to person, but a 100 g dose of fructose has been shown to increase alcohol metabolism by an average of 80%. In people with proteinuria and hematuria, fructose can cause falsely high BAC readings, due to kidney-liver metabolism. [106]
Blood tests: Only a few hours. What influences how long tests detect weed? Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the chemical in weed that gives users that high feeling. Every person metabolizes weed ...
