My newly created invention consists of a means to test Synthetic Cannabanoids, By a urinalysis cup which a new reagent patch is added to the other patches being tested for drugs such as Marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamines, opiates and Heroin but not limited to the said illegal drugs. An equivalent would be a Saliva test that gives immediate results but is more expensive, hence the UA cup is more economical. The Synthetic Cannabanoid drug stays in your blood stream for approximately three days, so the need to detect it is substantial as it has proven very harmful to users as it mimic's marijuana but can be far more potent then THC, The active ingredient in Marijuana. The parent drugs of the synthetic Cannabanoids are JWH-018, JWH-073, and JWH 250 respectively and not intended to limit them to these chemicals for the purpose of testing for Synthetic Cannabanoids. The synthetic Cannabanoids are also snorted and it is sold in a powder form thereby the usage of this drug has caused a surge of Emergency room visits, seizures, difficulty in breathing, heart racing, hallucinations, paranoid behavior, agitation, nausea, vomiting, elevated blood pressure. The study of JWH-018 are conjugates with glucronig acid and can reliably be tested and detected with GL-MS/MS and LC-MS-MS/MS. A reliable reagent test is the Marquis test and is accepted by the DEA.
