Laboratory Study Due to the prevalence of synthetic cannabinoid use in 2011, numerous

laboratories developed screening and confirmation testing methods. Based on the early positive rates, the testing quickly expanded from being primarily reasonable suspicion and post-accident testing to include random and pre-employment testing categories as well. Synthetic cannabinoid compounds in circulation have changed significantly over the past 4.5
years. As a result, the synthetic cannabinoid panel composition should also change. In 2011, one synthetic panel contained 8 compounds and the testing data was presented in the winter 2013 edition of DATIA focus. This data reflected an overall positive rate of 19.8%.6
In 2014,
this panel contained 21 compounds and its testing data was presented in
datia focus 29
