Newest firstRecently developed dried blood analysis methods for cannabinoid quantitation utilize small blood volumes, making them microsampling-compatible, but are limited by hematocrit-related bias for dried blood spots (DBSs) and higher consumable costs for volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS®). To address these issues, we developed a highly sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method ca…
Open article record in new tab ↗Recently developed dried blood sampling methods for cannabinoid quantitation require small blood volumes, making them microsampling-compatible, but have notable limitations including hematocrit-related bias for dried blood spots (DBS) and higher consumable costs for volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS®). To address these issues, we developed a highly sensitive liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Drug driving is an emerging global road safety problem. As the prevalence of alcohol-impaired driving decreases, and as more jurisdictions decriminalize or legalize cannabis, it is increasingly important for policy makers to have accurate information on the prevalence and pattern of drug driving. Unfortunately, this data is not widely available and the World Health Organization identifies lack of accura…
Open article record in new tab ↗Aim We conducted a responsibility analysis to determine whether drivers injured in motor vehicle collisions who test positive for Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or other drugs are more likely to have contributed to the crash than those who test negative. Design Prospective case-control study. Setting Trauma centres in British Columbia, Canada. Participants Injured drivers who required blood tests for clinical purp…
OBJECTIVES: Determine the prevalence of drug use in injured drivers and identify associated demographic factors and crash characteristics. DESIGN: Prospective cross-sectional study. SETTING: Seven trauma centres in British Columbia, Canada (2010-2012). PARTICIPANTS: Automobile drivers who had blood obtained within 6 h of a crash. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We analysed blood for cannabis, alcohol and other impairing dr…
