What is Cannabis?

Cannabis testing comprises various testing methods for detecting the use of cannabis in an individual in the field of medicine, sports, and law. There are numerous ways in which cannabis use can be determined, such as hair testing, saliva testing, urine testing, and blood testing. Cannabis testing by these methods is time-consuming, unlike that of alcohol detection by using breathalyzers. Some of the tests such as the Duequenois-Levine test can also be used for quick detection, although it’s not reliable as it gives false-positive results for other substances such as cannabinoids.
