What Is a Drug Test?

A drug test is a technical analysis of biological specimens such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, and/or saliva to detect specific parent drugs or their metabolites. Major uses include detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports and screening for illegal substances by employers or parole/probation officials. Police may check for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) through breathalyzers, while urinalyses are prevalent for workplace and sports-related drug testing. Various other methods, differing in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection duration, exist. "Drug test" may also refer to quantitative analysis of prohibited drugs for responsible usage.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Lead to a Marijuana False Positive?

Being in a room with others smoking marijuana is unlikely to cause a positive result, as lab analysis cut-offs exceed levels potentially from passive inhalation.

Additional variations in urine screens may suggest false negatives or deliberate tampering. For example:

• Low creatinine lab values might imply tampering, either through dilution from drinking large amounts of water or water added directly to the sample.
• Creatinine levels, combined with specific gravity, help identify diluted samples. To mitigate this, test labs may color toilet water blue to block dilution from toilet water.
• Subjects might add enzymes to affect sample stability, often altering pH, which is also tested.

How Long Do Drugs Remain in Your System?

The detection window or look-back period of a drug test depends on numerous factors, such as:

• The quantity of drug consumed
• Frequency of use
• Type of drug
• Individual's metabolic rate and general health
• Fluid intake since drug usage
• Exercise performed since drug usage
• Genetic factors influencing drug response
