Definition of a Drug Test

A drug test scientifically analyzes a biological sample like urine, hair, blood, or oral fluid to detect specific substances or their metabolites. Uses include detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, legal compliance, and alcohol blood content analysis. Urinalysis is widely used in workplace and sports testing, while various methods offer different accuracy, sensitivity, and detection durations.

Does Secondhand Marijuana Smoke Cause False Positives?

Secondhand marijuana smoke does not produce false-positive results due to established cutoff concentrations in lab tests above those from passive exposure.

Some abnormal urine screen results might indicate false negatives or sample tampering:

• Low creatinine may suggest sample tampering through dilution or adulteration
• Creatinine with specific gravity checks helps identify dilution attempts. Blue coloring in restrooms deters sample water addition.
• Attempts to alter sample pH by enzyme addition are detectable through pH testing.

Understanding Drug Metabolism and Detection

The detection window for drugs varies significantly. Factors affecting duration include:

• Quantity and frequency of drug consumption
• Type of substance
• Individual metabolic rate and overall health
• Hydration and physical activity after use
• Genetic influences on drug metabolism
