Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Understanding Drug Testing

A drug test technically analyzes a biological sample—urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to detect specified drugs or metabolites. Uses include sports doping, employer mandates, probation and parole checks, and legal BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) testing. This quantifiable approach informs responsible substance use.

Impact of Passive Marijuana Smoke on Testing

"Passive" smoke inhalation is insufficient for a marijuana false positive due to lab thresholds being above levels associated with secondary exposure.

Unexpected results or anomalies in urine analysis may indicate sample alteration. For example:

• Low creatinine may suggest water dilution or sample tampering.
• Creatinine and specific gravity help verify sample integrity. Blue dye in toilets may minimize intentional dilution.
• Enzymatic tampering could alter pH levels, which are checked during testing.

Drug Retention in the System

The detection period for drugs depends on factors like:

• Drug quantity used
• Frequency of use
• Drug type
• Individual metabolic rate and health
• Fluid intake post-drug consumption
• Exercise post-consumption
• Genetic factors influencing drug processing
