Drug Testing Explained

Drug testing involves examining a biological sample, such as urine, hair, blood, or saliva, to detect specific substances or their byproducts. It's used for various purposes, including testing athletes for steroids, ensuring legal compliance for employers, and as evidence for law enforcement.

Breathalyzers are commonly used for BAC (blood alcohol content), while urinalysis is the primary method for workplace and athletic drug testing. Numerous techniques with varying accuracies are available, some offering quantitative chemical analysis of illegal drugs.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Cause a False Positive for Marijuana?

The concentration levels used in laboratory tests are set sufficiently high to negate false positives from passive marijuana smoke exposure.

Other anomalies in test results, including invalid results, may result from deliberate sample tampering. Indicators include:

• Low creatinine levels may suggest sample dilution.
• Creatinine tests may accompany specific gravity assessments to ensure authenticity, with blue-dyed toilet water preventing dilution.
• Attempts to stabilize samples with enzymes may alter pH levels, which are also analyzed.

Duration of Drugs in the System

The detection period of a drug test can vary due to several factors, such as:

• Quantity of drug consumed
• Frequency of usage
• Type of drug
• Individual's metabolic rate and overall health
• Fluid intake since consumption
• Exercise levels post-consumption
• Genetic differences affecting drug processing
