A -Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the major psychoactive compound in marijuana. THC is rapidly oxidized to 11-hydroxy THC and then to ll-nor-9-carboxy-A -THC, which is the main metabolite excreted. The main metabolic route of cocaine involves the hydrolysis of ester linkages to produce benzoylecgonine (BE). 6-Acetylmorphine is the main specific metabolite of heroin (3,6-diacetylmorphine). Codeine is O3 -methylmorphine. Morphine-3 p-glucuronide is a metabolite formed in vivo by the attachment of a sngar to the O3 oxygen, which facilitates elimination of morphine from the body. All three of these morphine-based derivatives are narcotics. 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and 3,4-metltylenedioxy-amphetamine (MDA) are amphetamine derivatives that are commonly referred to as ecstasy.
