Understanding Drug Testing

A drug test analyzes biological samples, including urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluids, to detect specific drugs or metabolites. These tests are used in sports, employment, legal cases, and law enforcement. Urinalysis is the most prevalent testing method, while other options exist with differing accuracy and detection periods.

Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Affect Test Results for Marijuana?

"Passive" exposure, such as being near marijuana smokers, is typically insufficient to exceed lab thresholds for detection. Anomalies in urine tests, for instance, low creatinine levels, can suggest tampering or dilution. Labs may use specific gravity checks, blue water in toilets, or enzyme tests to ensure sample integrity.

Drug Detection Timeframes

The detection window for drugs is influenced by various factors, including dosage, frequency, type, metabolic rate, health, hydration, and exercise post-consumption, and genetic traits impacting drug responses.

Advantages of Choosing Accredited Drug Testing in La Mesa, CA
