Cocaine Opiates

Table 1 provides the urinalysis test results for the 4,847 arrestees, While PCP was tested for by an EMIT test only, cocaine, opiates and methadone were tested for by both EMIT and thin layer chromatography (TLC). (The EMIT test for opiates is not specific to morphine, the metabolite of heroin, and can detect the recent use of a variety of opiates. A specimen positive for opiates is most likely to indicate the use of heroin in this population, however.) Our analyses will use only the results from the EMIT tests, because we have learned that the TLC general drug screen is less sensitive for detecting recent use of these illicit street drugs (Wish et al. 1983 Wish et al. 1984). 

Doping substances include most of the drugs already discussed in the previous sections (e.g., drugs of abuse like amphetamines, cocaine, opiates pharmaceutical drugs like diuretics, beta-blockers, etc.) and, in most cases, the described methods may be extended to doping control applications.

Each neuron has specific synthetic machinery that enables it to both synthesize and eliminate a specific neurotransmitter. For example, neurons of the sympathetic nervous system employ norepinephrine and epinephrine as their transmitters. Other neurons, particularly in the central nervous system, employ dopamine as their transmitter. Dopamine is a particularly important transmitter for a variety of neuronal functions. Its loss is associated with Parkinson disease, and it is a critical agent in the mediation of pleasure and reward processes. Dopamine, due to its association with pleasurable sensations, is widely implicated in the actions of a number of drugs of abuse, including cocaine, opiates, and methamphetamines.

In nine prospective, longitudinal, multicenter studies, 1227 infants who were exposed in utero to cocaine (n = 474), opiates (n = 50), cocaine + opiates (n = 48), or neither (n = 655) were followed for 1-3 years after birth. Prenatal exposure to cocaine and/or opiates was not associated with mental, motor, or behavioral defects after controlling for birth weight and environmental risks. This result should be treated with caution, since the effects of prenatal opiates or cocaine exposure may become more evident as more advanced motor, cognitive, language, and behavioral skills develop (57).

Hashish is metabolized in the liver and is eliminated in bile and feces. Only a trace amount of hashish is detectable in urine. Hashish may affect the metabolism of dmgs that require protein binding. These include ethyl alcohol, barbiturates, amphetamines, cocaine, opiates, and atropine.
