I guess that in this case it would also depend on how quickly after death the test was performed. In blood in a live subject, it can be detected just 3 or 4 hours post dose.. I'll leave the rest to you to interpret.MARIJUANA (THC) Cannabis sativa CLASS: Psychoactive cannabinoid STREET NAMES: "Pot", "Grass", "Sensemilla", "Thai Sticks", "Acapulco Gold", "Reefer" MAJOR METABOLITES: 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol. (Note: delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol is the major psychoactive ingredient) SYMPTOMS / EFFECTS: Desired: Euphoria, Relaxation, Anti-nausea effect, Hallucinations General: Sedation, sleepiness, ataxia, and short term memory impairment. Physiological: Red conjunctiva (Whites of the eyes), increased pulse & blood pressure. LENGTH OF TIME DETECTED: Blood: Delta-9-THC concentration usually drops below 5 ng/mL within 3-4 hours post dose. Frequent users may have longer detection times. Urine: 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-THC (inactive metabolite) detectable several days to several weeks, even longer for extremely heavy users. THC is a lipid soluble drug, therefore stores in the fat in the body and the amount of time it takes to clear the system is dependent on how much drug was used and over what period of time the drug is used. Delta-9-THC may also be detected. DURATION OF EFFECTS: Approximately 2-5 hours (route of administration and dose dependant). |
