Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
En milieu professionnel, à des tests positifs au cannabis sont souvent objectées des raisons défensives telles l'inhalation ou l'ingestion passives, notamment la consommation de thé ou de gâteau contenant du cannabis. L'interprétation des résultats des analyses d'urine doit prendre en compte les quantités supposées de cannabis ingéré pour déterminer si la concentration en métabolite de THC correspond à cette ingestion.
ENGLISH:
With the advent of drug testing in the workplace and the consequences of a positive drug test, several issues have arisen in defending or explaining a positive result for a given drug of abuse. Marijuana is the illicit drug with the highest percentage of positives in workplace drug testing. Consequently, marijuana was the first such drug for which excuses were provided to explain the positive test result. Therefore, the interpretation of positive urine tests for marijuana should be made with care and on a case-by-case basis. Claims of ingestion of food stuffs containing hemp-seed oil should be verified by analysis of the products ingested to determine the THC dose allegedly ingested and to determine whether the THC metabolite concentration in the urine is consistent with the dose ingested.
