Not one mention of THC?
Why?
There were no changes to the testing process for THC in the urine standard. All cut-offs remain the same.
Correct me if I’m wrong but there seems to be varying information in relation to THC – as I’ve read several articles with this information, this relates to urine lab analysis ” THC (marijuana/cannabis) has a lower cut-off at 5ng/mL from 10 ng/mL”, under the new standard are there any changes to cut off levels for onsite urine collection using products like SureStep 6-in-1 EZ Split Urine Drug Test Kit as these are still using the superseded Standards AS/NZS 4308:2008. I realise there is a cross over time frame for other drugs tested using these kits but will the cut off levels remain the same for THC specifically?

I have recently been urine tested and shown a positive test for methamphetamine yet I haven’t used any illit substances. I am prescribed Tramadol Mirtazapine nitrazepam and prazozin. The preliminary test is now awaiting confirmation testing. This false positive will ruin my life yet I haven’t used any illicit substances. Urine testing is outdated and draconian.
