Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test technically analyzes biological specimens like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to detect the presence of specific drugs or their by-products. Drug testing is used to detect illegal steroids, ensure compliance in employment or education, and for law enforcement alcohol checks. Methods vary by accuracy, sensitivity, and detection period.

Addressing Passive Smoke Inhalation in Marijuana Testing

"Passive" exposure from being in the presence of marijuana smokers is not likely to trigger positive results, due to set thresholds above passive inhalation levels.

Urine anomalies could suggest false negatives or deliberate sample tampering:

• A low creatinine level may indicate excessive water intake or added water to the sample.
• Creatinine and specific gravity together detect dilution, and colored toilet water prevents water tampering.
• Adding enzymes to affect stability often alters pH, which labs also check.

Duration of Drugs in the System

The detection window for a drug test is influenced by factors such as:

• Drug quantity taken
• Frequency of use
• Type of drug
• Personal metabolic rate and health status
• Fluid intake post-ingestion
• Physical activity post-ingestion
• Genetic variations affecting individual drug responses
