N2  - A survey of cannabinoid levels in post-mortem blood from 66 fatally injured drivers showed, by radioimmunoassay alone, cannabis use in 6 cases. Further examination of 3 of the specimens by a combined system of high pressure liquid chromatography and radioimmunoassay showed typical patterns of separated cross-reacting cannabinoids and gave a specific measurement of THC levels. The total cross-reacting cannabinoid levels in the positive samples were low compared with the levels detected in earlier cases of intoxication or in volunteers smoking moderate doses of pure THC. An assessment of the effect on driving impairment is given. © 1977, Forensic Science Society. All rights reserved.       Keywords: Cannabis impaired driving<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
