THC = Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol; Cle = elimination clearance; Clthc‐ > oh = metabolic clearance from THC to 11‐OH‐THC; Cloh‐ > cooh = metabolic clearance from 11‐OH‐THC to THCCOOH; Q = intercompartmental clearance between the central compartment, Vc, and the peripheral compartments, V2 and V3; f = factor or ratio between the inhalation bioavailability of the high THC dose and the low dose; High dose split (f) = fraction of the low dose Clthc‐ > oh that is estimated for the high dose (the remaining clearance is assigned to Clthc‐ > thccooh; δA = additive intrasubject variability; δ = proportional (relative) intrasubject variability; ω2 = intersubject variability; SEE = standard error of the estimate.
