Cannabis can be detected in a urine test for up to 7 days after a single use. For chronic or heavy users, it may remain detectable for up to 30 days.
A 5-panel drug test typically detects opiates, THC (the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis), phencyclidine (PCP), amphetamines (including methamphetamine, Speed, and Adderall), and cocaine.
Mitragynine is the main active ingredient in kratom, a plant from Southeast Asia. It's what gives kratom its effects, like pain relief, mood boosts, and energy at lower doses, while higher doses can be more relaxing. Even though it interacts with the brain's opioid receptors, it's not actually an opioid, which is why some people use kratom for pain management or to help with opioid withdrawal.
Alkaloids are the organic compounds found in kratom that are responsible for the benefits associated with each type of strain.
Remember the Entourage Effect produced by THC and CBD? It's that. Full spectrum kratom is exactly how it sounds - you are getting the full range of alkaloids found in that kratom strain.
7-Hydroxymitragynine is a powerful compound found in kratom. It works on the opioid receptors in your brain and is known for its strong pain-relieving effects. Although it’s only present in small amounts in kratom, it's much more potent than other compounds in the plant.
Most types of hemp-derived THC flower have a potency level of 15% to 30%, though some strains and batches can reach levels of 35-40% or higher! It all depends on the flower and how it’s manufactured – flower that’s rolled in kief and enhanced with THC diamonds, for instance, might have a THC percentage far higher than what is “naturally” possible.
Hemp flower can and often does have delta-9 THC in it, but only in amounts far smaller than what can be found in marijuana flower. To comply with the 2018 Farm Bill and be legal to sell and create products with, hemp flower must contain 0.3% delta-9 THC or less by dry weight. However, hemp flower can be rich in other THC-based compounds, like delta-8 THC or THCa, and still meet this legal requirement.
THC flower is an umbrella term that can include any kind of cannabis flower – hemp or marijuana – that’s rich in any kind of THC. THCa flower, on the other hand, refers specifically to buds that have a high THCa content. You can think of THCa as a “precursor” to delta-9 THC because it transforms into delta-9 after being exposed to heat (AKA, when you smoke, vape, or decarboxylate it).
If you’re flying within the United States, you may be able to bring a THC vape on a plane in your checked luggage or in a carry-on bag, depending on the circumstances. TSA policy states that medical marijuana products may be allowed on flights, but the final decision about whether an item is allowed or not rests with TSA officers. Likewise, TSA officers are required to report suspected violations of the law to the authorities.
In other words, TSA officers are ultimately the ones who decide whether your cannabis product is allowed to fly, and depending on where you live or where you’re going, you may or may not face obstacles when traveling with cannabis. You’re probably more likely to run into problems if you’re using a product that is not from a medical marijuana program, as you may not have documentation to prove that what you’re carrying is what you say it is.
It’s probably best to leave the vape at home or place it in a checked bag along with other toiletries or personal items. This is particularly true because THC is considered illegal at the federal level, even if marijuana is legal in your state.
TSA officers do not search for illegal items, but if they see it, they are technically within their rights to act on it, whether that means throwing out the item or contacting local authorities.
A “burnt” THC vape – as in, a vape that’s burnt out, or has so little product in it that your hits taste “burnt” – could still technically get you high, but it all depends on how much product and THC is left in your device.
In general, if your product tastes burnt or unusual, it’s probably time to toss your vape and get a new one. Sure, it might get you high, but the high you experience will likely not be anywhere near as rewarding or intense as what you might experience from a new product.
While the precise amount of THC in an individual dab or concentrate product can vary, most concentrates have potency levels of about 60-80%, and sometimes get up to 90% THC or higher! If you opt for a THC isolate dab product, you’ll be getting a concentrate that’s almost 100% THC, so beginners beware!
THC dabs and concentrates are so strong because of how they are manufactured. The natural THC content of a cannabis plant – whether hemp or marijuana – is limited. Each bud only contains so much of any cannabinoid.
But when concentrates are created, manufacturers break down that plant matter into its chemical components, essentially allowing them to isolate the cannabinoids and terpenes from large volumes of plant material at once.
The resulting product may be smaller in terms of mass, but it will be far more potent – each individual dose is packed with way more THC than you can acquire from smoking or vaping flower.
To dab THC, you’ll need an appropriate dab rig or dab attachment, some way to heat things up, and dab tools to help you precisely dose and safely spread your concentrate.
Depending on the device and type of dab wax you use, your technique may vary slightly. But in general, all you’ll need to do is set up your tools, heat up your nail, place the concentrate inside, and take a deep breath!

A cannabinoid is a molecule that binds to cannabinoid receptors in the body and brain. These receptors are like locks, and cannabinoids are the keys that fit them, depending on their shape and structure. The receptors are part of the endocannabinoid system, which regulates mood and hunger. Many different molecules can bind to these receptors, and all are classified as cannabinoids.
