They produce an initial state of euphoria (high) followed by restlessness, agitation, irritability and sometimes extreme paranoia. Tolerance develops rapidly and, although physical dependence has not been proved, psychological dependence is very high. Amphetamines may be used in the treatment for obesity, attention disorder, hyperactivity and narcolepsy, but, because of the high abuse potential, these compounds are used as a last resort in these treatments. Barbiturates • Screening cutoff: 300NG/ML • Confirmation cutoff: 300NG/ML • There is a variety of these major sedative-hypnotic drugs. However, all are derivatives of barbituric acid. Depending on the derivation, the particular drug may be long acting, as is phenobarbital or short acting, as in pentobarbital. The longacting barbiturate phenobarbital selectively reduces the excitability of rapidly firing neurons and is therefore an effective anticonvulsant drug. The short and ultra-short drugs inhibit arousal, hence their sedative and hypnotic effects. Low doses produce sedation, drowsiness, sleep and also impaired judgment. At high doses, anesthesia is produced. Very high doses can cause stupor, convulsions and death. Benzodiazepines • Screening cutoff: 300NG/ML • Confirmation cutoff: 300NG/ML • Among this group of drugs, the most prominent is Valium. Benzodiazepines are used therapeutically as so-called minor tranquilizers. Doses between 2.5 and 10mg produce a calming effect while higher doses produce muscle-relaxing effects. Drug addicts utilize Valium in high doses to counter the excitatory effects of other drugs or as a means of inducing tranquil states. Acutely, benzodiazepine overdose may produce somnolence, confusion, seizures, and coma. Rarely, hypertension, respiratory depression, and cardiac arrest may occur. Chronically, physical and psychological dependence occur. Sudden discontinuance of the drug may lead to anxiety, sweating, irritability, hallucination, diarrhea, and seizures. Cannabinoids • Screening cutoff: 50NG/ML • Confirmation cutoff: 15NG/ML • Marijuana consists of the dried leaves and flowering tops of the Cannabis sativa plant and is a source of psychoactive agents, a major one being delta 9tetrahydrocannabinol (D9-THC). The gastrointestinal tract and the respiratory system rapidly absorb this drug after oral or inhalation routes of ingestion. The drug is extensively and rapidly metabolized and can be detected in the urine within a couple of hours and for as long as several days after use. Regular users report feelings of euphoria, hallucinations, and relaxed inhibitions. Cocaine • Screening cutoff: 300NG/ML • Confirmation cutoff: 150NG/ML • Cocaine is a central nervous system stimulant. It usually appears in the form of a fine crystal-like powder, although it can come in larger pieces called rocks. It may be injected, snorted or smoked as the free base. The effects of the drug begin within minutes and peak within 15 to 20 minutes. The effects include dilated pupils, increase in blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and body temperature. The dangers associated with cocaine use vary depending on how the drug is taken, the dose, and the individual. Feelings of restlessness, irritability, anxiety, and sleeplessness are reported by some regular users. Even low doses of cocaine may create psychological problems. Use of high doses of cocaine over a prolonged period of time may lead to paranoia, commonly called cocaine psychosis, which includes hallucinations of touch, sight, taste, and smell. Methadone • Screening cutoff: 300NG/ML • Confirmation cutoff: 300NG/ML • Methadone is a nonbicyclic drug, which binds competitively with morphine to receptors in the brain. Although it can become addictive, the effects are less than those of equivalent concentrations of heroin. Thus, administration of methadone to heroin addicts allows them to experience the effects of heroin but in a modulated manner. A gradual lowering of the dose reduces the physical dependence, however addiction to methadone can also occur. Methadone is also used as a pain medication. MDMA-Ecstacy • Screening cutoff: 500NG/ML • Confirmation cutoff: 500NG/ML • MDMA is 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine. It was originally manufactured as a weight loss product, but was never marketed because of its side effects. The white powder/solid is supplied in the form of capsules or tablets, which are easy to counterfeit, which in turnleads to contaminated or substituted products being sold as ecstasy and a true ‘buyers beware’ market. MDMA effects last three to six hours and the doses are often ‘piggy-backed’, leading to cases of severe over-heating and cardiac emergencies. Depression, anxiety, disruption of sleep and paranoia have been reported to occur days or weeks after use. Symptoms of toxicity can include confusion, agitation, hallucinations, seizures, hyperpyrexia, coma and hypotension. Large doses can cause malignate hyperthermia, leading to muscle breakdown as well as kidney and cardiovascular failure. As a real capper, MDMA is neurotoxic and can cause irreversible brain damage Opiates • Screening cutoff: 2000NG/ML • Confirmation cutoff: 2000NG/ML • Opiates are drugs such as heroin, codeine and morphine, which can produce a very high physical and/or psychological dependence by their users. Samples may be tested for codeine and morphine (a metabolite of both codeine and heroin), and follow-up testing for 6-acetylmorphine, also a metabolite of heroin, is allowed on morphine-positive samples. Testing for the opiates, hydrocodone (Vicodin, Lortabs), hydromorphone (Dilaudid), is performed on non-regulated samples. Feelings of euphoria, analgesia, drowsiness, and respiratory depression are reported by users. Phencyclidine • Screening cutoff: 25NG/ML • Confirmation cutoff: 25NG/ML • Phencyclidine is almost exclusively seen as a drug of abuse. It has numerous effects on a variety of different neural pathways and hence a wide array of bizarre symptoms can be seen in the same patient. Its physiological effects appear to be analgesic, anesthetic, and, paradoxically, stimulating. Because of its varied actions, clinically acute manifestations vary from depression to euphoria and can induce catatonia, violence, rage and auditory and visual hallucinations. Vomiting, hyperventilation, tachycardia, shivering, seizures, coma, and death are also common occurrences that result from abuse of this drug. Propoxyphene • Screening cutoff: 300NG/ML • Confirmation cutoff: 300NG/ML • Propoxyphene is an analgesic drug, which has very similar pharmacologic properties to those of the opiates like morphine. A major cause of drug-related deaths is propoxyphene overdose, either alone or in combination with CNS depressants like barbiturates and alcohol. Toxic symptoms are similar to those seen with opiate overdoses i.e, respiratory depression, cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, pulmonary edema, and coma. Standard Cutoff Levels • A “cutoff” is the concentration of analyte (drug) in a urine sample at or above which the sample is considered positive for that drug. The purpose of the cutoff is to insure consistency and reliability throughout the testing process. The screening cutoff may be different than the confirmation cutoff when the screening test is detecting all forms of the drug and the confirmation cutoff is measuring only one form (metabolite) of the drug in question. For example, in testing for marijuana the screening test looks for all forms of cannibinoid while the confirmation test looks only at the major metabolite D9 THCA. Test results in excess of the confirmation cutoff levels are consistent with recent ingestion of the analyte or an analyte-producing medication.
