Abstract
This disclosure describes articles for detecting THC in a saliva sample and methods of using the articles. Generally, the articles include a detection zone that generates a detectable signal that allows one to determine whether the sample contains Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. The methods can produce a test result in rapid fashion, suitable for on-site testing.
