Understanding a Drug Test

A drug test is a detailed examination of a biological sample—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to detect specific drugs or their byproducts. Common uses for drug testing include identifying steroid use in sports, employer screenings, parole/probation officer protocols, and police checks for blood alcohol content (BAC) using breathalyzers. Urinalysis is prevalent in sports and workplace testing, but various methods exist, offering different accuracy, sensitivity, and detection timelines. Drug tests may also analyze the quantitative chemical composition of drugs to encourage responsible use.

Can Passive Inhalation Lead to a Marijuana False Positive?

Exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke is unlikely to cause a false positive in drug tests, as lab cut-off levels are set higher than what true passive inhalation might produce.

Test results may indicate a false negative or intentional sample tampering if urine screen discrepancies arise, such as:

• Low creatinine levels might suggest sample dilution by the subject ingesting excess water or intentionally adding water to the sample.
• Creatinine is analyzed alongside specific gravity to check for dilution. To avoid manipulation, labs may dye the toilet water blue to prevent urine adulteration.
• Efforts to add enzymes to alter urine stability often influence pH levels, which are also monitored.

Duration of Drugs in the Body

The detection timeline of a drug test depends on numerous aspects, including:

• Quantity of the consumed drug
• Usage frequency
• Type of drug
• Individual metabolism and health status
• Fluid intake post-consumption
• Physical activity post-consumption
• Genetic factors affecting drug interaction
