Traditionally, smoking has been the predominant method for administering cannabis, but alternative routes of administration have become more prevalent. Additionally, research examining urinary cannabinoid excretion profiles has primarily focused on 11-nor-9-carboxy-∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC-COOH), a metabolite of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), as the primary analyte. The aim of the current study was to characterize the urinary excretion profile of Δ9-THC-COOH, Δ9-THC, Δ8-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8-THC), 11-hydroxy-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (11-OH-Δ9-THC), Δ9-tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV-COOH), 11-nor-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabivarin-9-carboxlic acid (THCV-COOH), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN), and 8,11-dihydroxytetrahydrocannabinol (8,11-diOH-Δ9-THC) following controlled administration of both oral and vaporized cannabis...
