Defining a Drug Test

A drug test refers to the scientific assessment of biological samples like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluids/saliva to detect specific drugs or their metabolites. Key uses include identifying steroids in sports, screening for illegal drugs by employers and probation officers, and measuring blood alcohol content (BAC) via breathalyzer among others. Drug tests can vary in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection timeframes.

Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Yield False Marijuana Results?

Exposure to marijuana smoke in an environment with active users does not lead to false positives, as laboratory thresholds exceed levels possible through passive exposure.

Urine screens showing inconsistencies may signify false negatives or sample tampering.

• Low creatinine in urine may suggest dilution, either from drinking excessive fluids or manually adding liquids.
• Testing labs often use colored toilet water to prevent dilution with toilet water.
• Attempting to alter enzyme stability can affect pH, which is also tested.

Drug Persistence in the System

The duration a drug remains detectable depends on several factors:

• The dose of the drug used
• The frequency of usage
• The type of substance
• The metabolic rate and health of the individual
• The volume of fluids consumed since usage
• Physical activity level after the intake
• Genetic variances affecting drug response
