Randomized Controlled TrialDisposition of smoked cannabis with high Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol content: a kinetic model.
No model exists to describe the disposition and kinetics of inhaled cannabis containing a high THC dose. We aimed to develop a kinetic model providing estimates of the THC serum concentrations after smoking cannabis cigarettes containing high THC doses (up to 69mg THC). ⋯ The model offers insight into the pharmacokinetics of THC in recreational cannabis users smoking cannabis containing high doses of THC mixed with tobacco. The model is an objective method for providing serum THC concentrations up to 8h after smoking cannabis with a high THC content (up to 23%).
