Using environmental analytical data to estimate levels of community consumption of illicit drugs and abused pharmaceuticals
TL;DR: A solid phase extraction method has been developed and applied in conjunction with a previously reported liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry procedure for the determination of illicit drugs and abused pharmaceuticals in treated wastewater and surface water samples at the ng L(-1) level.

Potential problems with the interpretation of hair analysis results.
TL;DR: A suitable cut-off level related to the LOD will allow correct identification of drugs or metabolites in hair and little information is available at this time to what extent test results are comparable and their interpretation is consistent.

Cannabis: pharmacology and toxicology in animals and humans.
Irma B. Adams,Billy R. Martin +1 more
TL;DR: The advent of highly potent analogs and a specific antagonist may make possible the development of compounds that lack undesirable side effects, thus limiting therapeutic usefulness of cannabinoid-derived drugs on the market today.

TL;DR: There were non-significant, weakly positive associations of opiates and benzodiazepines with culpability, and drivers showing the highest culpability rates were in the under 25 and over 65 age groups.

Methamphetamine neurotoxicity: necrotic and apoptotic mechanisms and relevance to human abuse and treatment
TL;DR: It is suggested that the commonly used experimental one-day methamphetamine dosing regimen better models the acute overdose pathologies seen in humans, whereas chronic models are needed to accurately model human long-term abuse.
