Drugs of Abuse – Cannabinoids, Urine

Test Name: Drugs Of Abuse – Cannabinoids, Urine

Sample Type: Urine

Test Purpose:
The Cannabinoids Urine test is a screening test used to detect the presence of cannabinoid metabolites, primarily 11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-COOH), in urine. Cannabinoids are compounds found in cannabis/marijuana products.

Why is this test performed?

• Screening for recent cannabinoid exposure
• Workplace and pre-employment drug screening
• Clinical or rehabilitation monitoring
• Forensic and medico-legal screening, when applicable

What does the result mean?

• Negative: Cannabinoid metabolites were not detected above the test's established screening cutoff.
• Positive/Detected: Cannabinoid metabolites were detected above the screening cutoff. A positive screening result may require confirmatory testing using a specific analytical method.

Important Note:
A urine cannabinoid test indicates exposure to cannabinoid compounds but generally cannot determine the exact time of use, degree of impairment, or quantity consumed. Detection time can vary depending on frequency of use, metabolism, dose, and other factors.

Sample Requirement:
Fresh urine sample collected in a clean, appropriate container as per laboratory instructions.

Report: Qualitative screening – Detected / Not Detected.
