Which Testing Panels Suit Your Needs?

Understanding the Drug Testing Process

Drug testing analyzes biological specimens such as urine, hair, blood, and saliva to detect drug presence. It's used in sports to catch performance enhancements or by employers for substance screening. Legal authorities use it to determine blood alcohol content. Different test methods present varied accuracy and detection periods.

Does Exposure to Marijuana Smoke Lead to False Positives?

"Passive" exposure to marijuana smoke is unlikely to cause false positives. Lab test thresholds are designed to exclude levels obtained passively.

Urine test inconsistencies could imply a false negative or tampering. Possible indicators include:

• Low creatinine might suggest sample dilution either through excess water intake or by adding water.
• Creatinine levels and specific gravity assess dilution. Solutions like adding blue dye to toilet water can prevent tampering.
• Adding enzymes often alters pH levels also checked during testing.

Duration of Drug Presence in the System

The detection period of drugs depends on factors such as:

• The drug dosage
• The frequency of use
• The type of drug used
• The user's metabolism and health
• Fluid intake post-ingestion
• Physical activity post-ingestion
• Genetic influences on drug metabolism
