About Cannabinoids Screen

A cannabinoids screen is a diagnostic laboratory test ordered by internal medicine physicians to detect the presence of cannabinoids, primarily THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and its metabolites, in a patient's system. This test is crucial for evaluating potential substance use, monitoring compliance in pain management or substance abuse treatment programs, and assessing impairment in clinical or occupational settings. It is typically performed using a urine sample, though blood, saliva, or hair may also be analyzed. The results help physicians make informed decisions about patient care, treatment plans, and safety, providing objective data on recent cannabis exposure. This screening is an essential tool in comprehensive patient assessment and management.
