Figure 2. Mean Plasma Concentration vs Time Profiles for (A) Δ9-THC, (B) 11-OH-Δ9-THC, and (C) Δ9-THC-COOHMean plasma concentration vs time profiles for (A) Δ9-THC, (B) 11-OH-Δ9-THC, and (C) Δ9-THC-COOH. Horizontal axes are not accurate time scales and represent the time points at which subjective drug effects were assessed following cannabis administration. Panels D, E, and F depict area under-the-curve ratios of 11-OH-Δ9-THC:Δ9-THC, Δ9-THC-COOH:Δ9-THC, and Δ9-THC-COOH:11-OH-Δ9-THC, respectively. Error bars indicate standard error of the means. The sample size was 18 for all outcomes.
