Understanding Drug Testing

A drug test involves the technical analysis of a biological sample (urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva) to identify the presence or absence of selected drugs or metabolites. Applications include identifying performance-enhancing drugs in sports, compliance checks by employers or legal authorities, and BAC (blood alcohol content) tests by law enforcement. Typically conducted via breathalyzer for alcohol and urinalysis for other drugs, different methods exist with varied accuracy and detection periods. A drug test might also provide a detailed chemical analysis of an illicit substance.

Does Secondhand Smoke Cause a False Positive for Marijuana?

"Passive" exposure to marijuana smoke is unlikely to affect test results, as lab analysis cutoff concentrations are set above levels associated with passive inhalation.

Potential abnormalities in urine tests may suggest false negatives or sample tampering. For example:

• Low creatinine levels might indicate sample dilution, whether by consuming excess water before testing or adding water to the sample.
• Labs often check creatinine alongside specific gravity to detect diluted samples. To prevent this, toilet water may be dyed blue to thwart sample dilution.
• Attempts to alter sample stability by adding enzymes may instead affect its pH, another test metric.

How Long Do Drugs Remain Detectable in Your System?

The detection window of a drug test, or its "look-back" period, depends on various factors, including:

• Amount of drug ingested
• Drug use frequency
• Type of drug
• Individual metabolic rate and health status
• Fluid intake following drug consumption
• Exercise activity following drug use
• Genetic variations affecting drug response
