Influence of Different Washing Hair Procedures in the Quantitative Determination of THC and THCCOOH

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Different hair decontamination protocols significantly affect THC quantification, with marked analyte loss—particularly after aqueous‐organic washing—whereas THCCOOH remains stable. These findings highlight the risk of misinterpretation and the need for standardized washing procedures in hair analysis.

Recreational Drug Use at a Music Festival: A Dual Approach Using Hair Biomarkers Analysis and Participant Self‐Reported Drug Use

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Combined self‐report and hair analysis in festival attendees (n = 249) revealed substantial discrepancies in drug use reporting, particularly for stimulants and dissociatives. This integrated approach enhances detection of poly‐drug use and provides a more reliable basis for monitoring and harm‐reduction strategies.
