so you could have someone who's dead sober that tests positive and someone who's profoundly intoxicated who test negative so it's like what's the value in this it's it's not telling us anything

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
the rate limiting step here is not the science of detection thresholds it's the biology of how the body processes cannabis and you're never going to get a test that works because you can take someone who has eaten an edible and is profoundly intoxicated at and they will have possibly under 5 nanog per Mill of THC in their blood
the thing is THC is a lipophilic mod fat so it's fat soble it likes the stor it doesn't like the blood the blood is aquous and watery it likes fat so it goes into the brain it goes into the fat and it kind of resides there and it can essentially kind of slowly leak back as it as you know THC concentrations in the blood would reduce THC that's in the fat will start kind of leaking back into the blood still so detectably you will still have THC for quite some time
if somebody is going to take a drug test for cannabis and they have used cannabis in any form in uh the previous 90 days let's say uh going for a run right before your test is going to liberate uh whatever um THC resides in the fat stores potentially
