The most common drug testing methods for detecting cannabis impairment are urine testing, saliva screening, and blood tests. These tests measure THC and its metabolites in the body which can show evidence of recent use, but don't necessarily indicate actual impairment. There is no single method that is completely accurate in detecting cannabis impairment as there are many factors that may affect performance such as the amount of time since using cannabis, a person's metabolism or body mass index (BMI). Therefore, other methods such as behavioural tests are used to determine actual impairment.

The most common drug testing methods for determining cannabis impairment are urine and oral fluids testing, breathalyzer tests and saliva testing. All of these methods have their benefits and limitations. Urine and oral fluid tests are less invasive than blood tests, but they detect only recent usage whereas hair follicle testing can detect long-term use over a much longer period of time. Breathalyser tests provide instant results but are more subjective since they measure CO2 levels in the body rather than an actual psychoactive component like THC. Finally, saliva testing is a simpler alternative to other drug screenings because it does not involve any physical collection process; however it is much less accurate since it only measures the presence of THC metabolites in the body that may remain for days even after any impairment due to THC use has subsided.
