Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. No trauma cannot increase THC levels.
2. Recreational use of cannabis - can be positive upto 5-6 days.
3. Long term use get stored in fat and be positive for upto 100 days. Unless you are looking for false positives, which could be due to medications given post accident or before accident, it will due to cannabis.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
