Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

THC administered orally can have subjective effects similar to smoking because it still enters the bloodstream and crosses the blood-brain barrier.

Answer: B
 Oral THC can be more potent because it undergoes a metabolic process in the liver that converts THC to a more potent form.

 Some metabolites of oral THC may not be currently detectable by standard urinalysis tests.
