How long does Cannabis stay positive on a drug test ?

A urine Cannabis drug test can stay positive for up to 30 days after last Cannabis use in certain cases, although in most cannabis users the drug will be out of their system in 6 -10 days, depending on duration of drug use. The amount of time Cannabis stay in the body depends on many factors such as, the amount  taken, its strength, purity, the body weight of the person being tested and rate of metabolism, and whether they are a casual Cannabis user or a long term user.

Just read an interesting article in the news in brief section of this months edition of Drink and Drugs News. (DDN)

Recent research from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) indicated that nearly 80% of young people questioned can get hold of Cannabis in under 1 hour.

They found that most of the 11-19 year olds questioned buy Cannabis from friends with only 6% using what is traditionally regarded as a dealer.

The JRF found on questioning that most of the teenage friends questioned were sharing the cost of Cannabis rather than profiting from the onward distribution.

Conclusion, in the 11-19 age range at a local level cannabis supply is more social than commercial.

It was reported by the BBC yesterday that recent new research published in the December 2009 issue of  British Journal of Psychiatry, shows that people who smoke the more potent form of Cannabis known as Skunk, are at a much higher risk of developing Psychotic illnesses such as Schizophrenia.

The frequency of useage and the length of time the drug had been used, also appeared to be a significant risk factor for the development of Psychosis as had previously been suspected

With drug use on the increase in under 16 year olds in the UK, worried parents are turning to home drug test kits to identify specific drug problems.  Consumers are able to purchase a variety of testing kits which will identify if drug residues are still present in either saliva or a urine sample.

Saliva drug tests are prefered as they are easy to take without a doubt over the sample having come fresh from the donor. Urine drug tests will detect further back in time, but obtaining and handling a urine sample can be problematic for some parents.

The accuracy of both formats is very high at a quoted 98-99% compared to laboratory GC/MS tests methods (the gold standard in drug screening)  Both saliva and urine drug tests give results within 5 minutes which is a great advantage.

Expect to pay between £3 to £10 for single or multipack urine drug tests and a little more for saliva drug tests.

Police across the country are alerting british landlords to the fact that Cannabis is increasingly being grown in rented properties. Apparently Cannabis growers are taking advantage of the  property slump and renting properties at the lower end of the market to set up Cannabis factories.

This is a growing problem in areas where rental properties are cheap.

Found these useful tips on how to spot a cannabis factory

The following tips may help people identify a cannabis factory:· The windows of the property are permanently covered from the inside

· Visits to the property occur at unusual times of the day or night

· People often do not live in the premises and only visit to maintain them

· There may be a vent protruding through the roof or a rear window

· There may be a pungent smell coming from the premises

· There may be noise coming from the equipment, such as cooling fans

· A large amount of pots and lights may be moved into the premises when the factory is set up

· In terraced houses, shared walls may appear wet to the touch

· Large amounts of soil and pots in back gardens

It is a must read for all parents of teenagers . It is a long article but worth making the time to read. If you think this problem just affects other peoples teenagers then you really must read this

Here is an small extract from the article.

‘It is the end of a taboo: articulate, middle-class parents are speaking out about the nightmare of seeing their children spiral into drug abuse and, all too often, mental illness. Many blame themselves for staying silent, assuming that modern strains of cannabis were little different from the pot that baby boomers smoked at college. The reality is very different’
