Marijuana Metabolite (Urine)
Also known as: Prescription Drug Monitoring, Pain Management
Use
Quest Diagnostics offers a urine-based marijuana metabolite (THCCOOH) screen, used to detect exposure to marijuana. This non‑psychoactive metabolite indicates recent or past use and is intended for drug monitoring, employer testing, clinical screening, or compliance monitoring.
Special Instructions

Limitations
Urine testing detects the non‑psychoactive metabolite THCCOOH and does not measure psychoactive THC; it indicates use but does not measure impairment or recent intoxication. Detection window varies with frequency of use, individual metabolism, and specimen type. Heavy or chronic users may retain detectable metabolites for extended periods.
