Overview

Drug Test Australia commissioned this exclusive 10-page report, which provides expert analysis of THC levels in the body following cannabis use, with a focus on oral fluid and urine testing, medicinal vs illicit cannabis, and the challenges of linking test results to actual impairment.

Highlights

• Explains why medicinal and illicit cannabis produce equivalent test results.
• Outlines the differences in THC detection based on method of use (smoked, ingested, oils, edibles).
• Reviews the limitations of oral fluid and urine testing when interpreting results.
• Presents case studies illustrating how THC can appear in workplace or legal testing scenarios.
• Provides practical insights for employers, HR professionals, legal practitioners, and testing providers.

Conclusion

The report confirms that while drug testing can reliably detect exposure, it cannot reliably measure impairment. These findings are critical for anyone managing workplace drug policies, legal disputes, or compliance programs.
