- Abstract
The article summarizes the results of an investigation which detected cannabinoids in a recovered sample of brownies. The findings show the utility of a collaborative investigation by public health and law enforcement and underscore the need to consider marijuana as a potential contaminant during food-borne illness investigations and the importance of identifying drug metabolism through testing clinical specimens soon after symptom onset. Factors that can influence the duration of detectability of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) metabolites in the uterine are also mentioned.
