Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

Understanding Drug Testing

A drug test involves analyzing a biological specimen, such as urine, hair, blood, sweat, or oral fluid to detect specified drugs or metabolites. Drug testing is crucial for detecting performance-enhancing substances, ensuring workplace safety, and legal compliance in various contexts. Tests vary in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection time frames, with urinalysis prevalent in sports and the workplace. Some tests provide quantitative analysis of illicit substances to encourage responsible use.

Impact of Passive Marijuana Smoke

Passive exposure to marijuana smoke, such as in enclosed spaces, does not typically result in a false positive. Laboratory cut-off levels are set high enough to negate passive inhalation as a valid defense.

Abnormalities in urine screens may suggest false negatives or deliberate sample tampering:

  • Low creatinine levels can indicate dilution either by excessive water intake or direct sample adulteration.
  • Creatinine is often measured alongside specific gravity to verify sample integrity. Labs might color toilet water to prevent dilution.
  • Attempting to alter samples with enzymes can change pH, which is also assessed in testing.

Drug Retention in the Body

The time drugs remain detectable is influenced by various factors, such as:

  • Drug amount consumed
  • Frequency of use
  • Drug type and category
  • Individual's metabolic rate and general health
  • Fluid intake post-consumption
  • Exercise following intake
  • Genetic variations influencing drug metabolism
