Benzoylecgonine is a metabolite of cocaine and has a longer half life. That being said it would be most likely that cocaine levels will be less than benzoylecgonine in postmortem blood.

Many factors weigh in detecting the cocaine in urine. When you screen urine for the cocaine,you are actually measuring benzoylecgonine, which is a metabolite of cocaine. Generally, the accepted period of time for benzoylecgonine to be detected in urine is three to five days in occasional users of cocaine. In high dose users above 0.5 gram or more can test positive even after eight days. In chronic users of extremely high doses of 112 grams in a week, the benzoylecgonine was detected between even 10 to 22 days.
A benzoylecgonine level of 1.23 mg per liter (or similar units) is generally considered to be a low to moderate level, depending on the context of drug testing. Benzoylecgonine is a primary metabolite of cocaine, and levels can vary significantly based on recent use and individual metabolism. For accurate interpretation, it's essential to consider the testing criteria and the individual's history of cocaine use. Always consult a medical professional for specific assessments.
Hydration, physical exercise, and time are the main factors that can lower the levels of benzoylecgonine in the body. Drinking fluids helps to flush out the metabolite through urine, physical activity can increase metabolism and elimination, and time allows the body to naturally process and eliminate benzoylecgonine.

depends what kinda drug test it is.. if its a base line your levels will just be higher if it tests for coke it will show up as coke.

Certain toxins and poisons may not be detectable in a postmortem examination due to their rapid metabolism or degradation in the body. For instance, carbon monoxide can quickly bind to hemoglobin and dissipate postmortem, making it challenging to detect. Additionally, substances like some heavy metals may not be present in detectable levels if they have been chelated or redistributed in the body before death. Furthermore, volatile substances, such as certain drugs, may evaporate after death and thus be absent from postmortem analyses.
I smoked crack five days ago. It was the first time since about one year ago that I did some. And I have not smoked anymore since five days ago. I gave myself an immunassay home drug test today with cutoff levels for the cocaine metabolite "benzoylecgonine" and a few others at 150 ng/ml. My test was negative. because I only did a small amount and had not done any before or after, five days was enough to rid my body of the metabolites.
That makes no sense to me. Levels of what? For what?
You earn higher levels by completing the lower levels of the game that is on the PS3
No, there is caffeine, not cocaine, in the energy drink Red Bull. Red Bull Cola, however, was found to have trace amounts of cocaine. The levels of cocaine are too low to cause any effect without excessive consumption of the beverage.
