A member asked:
After a drug urine sample has been voided, what is the rate of thc-metabolite breakdown outside of the body? (please be specific) thanks!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Refrigerated urines measuring amounts of drugs of abuse are usually considered valid for five days. At room temperature bacteria grow quickly and would likely effect concentrations of THC rather significantly even after 24 hours. I am unable to be more specific.
