   Did wastewater drug monitoring for a while, and the annoying bit was fentanyl metabolites sitting near the detection limit, so absence isn't proof.

      Does wastewater drug monitoring account / offset for constipation caused by drug use?

      There isn't anything to measure if the poop is unable to leave the end-user.

         I believe it's urine based.

         Either way, the constipation would affect different users at different times, so I don't think it would matter to the data. In other words, your idea stinks ;)

            Well if the user dies of constipation the poop never enters the sewer :)

         Drugs are detected in urine, not feces.
