Meaning and effects of key psychoactive substances

To understand the various types of drugs and their effects on the human body, it is essential to become familiar with them.

• Marijuana/Cannabis (THC): THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, induces feelings of relaxation and euphoria. However, it can also cause anxiety or paranoia.
• Cocaine (COC): Cocaine is a powerful stimulant commonly used as a recreational drug.
• Phencyclidine (PCP): PCP, also known as “angel dust,” is a hallucinogenic drug that can cause feelings of detachment from reality.
• Amphetamines (AMP): Amphetamines are stimulants often used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
• Opiates (OPI): Opiates are a group of drugs used to treat severe pain, including substances like heroin, morphine, and codeine.

How is the test performed?

The 5-Drug Panel is a urine drug test that requires a urine sample. The sample is collected in the laboratory and then sent for analysis. Test results are typically available within one day.

How long do drugs stay in the body?

The detection time for drugs varies depending on factors such as the type of drug, metabolism, frequency of use, and body fat percentage. Generally, drugs in the 5-Drug Panel, except for THC, are detectable in urine for up to 5-7 days after the last use. Marijuana can remain in the system for up to a month, especially in heavy users.
