Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test analyzes a biological sample, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to identify the presence of drugs or their metabolites. Applications include detecting performance-enhancing steroids in sports, checking for drugs prohibited by law in workplaces, and law enforcement checking blood alcohol levels (BAC) via a breathalyzer. Various tests exist with differing accuracy and detection times. Drug tests can also provide quantitative analysis of illegal substances, aimed at responsible use.

Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Cause a False Positive for Marijuana?

Passive smoke inhalation from being around others smoking marijuana is not deemed valid for testing, as lab cut-off concentrations are set higher than levels from passive exposure.

Some anomalies in urine screens may hint at false negatives or sample tampering, such as:

• Low creatinine levels suggesting dilution by excess water intake or water added to the sample.
• Combined creatinine and specific gravity testing for dilution detection; colored toilet water may prevent dilution from toilet sources.
• Enzyme addition attempts to alter samples, though usually detectable through pH level changes.

How Long Do Drugs Remain Detectable?

The detection period for drugs varies due to multiple factors. Influences on a drug’s duration in the system include:

• Drug quantity consumed
• Frequency of use
• Type of drug
• An individual's metabolism and overall health
• Fluid intake following drug use
• Exercise frequency post-consumption
• Genetic differences affecting individual drug responses
