Urine testing, detecting substances over a period of 1 to 5 days, is the most frequently used among employers, courts, and educational institutions. Alternatively, hair testing is growing in popularity due to its extended detection period of roughly 90 days.

Comparing the Most Common Urine and Hair Drug Tests

Determining the Appropriate Drug Testing Panel for You

Drug testing panels indicate the specific group of drugs screened and are typically referred to by the number of substances tested, such as 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests. Customizable screening options are also available.

Understanding a Drug Test

A drug test refers to the technical analysis of a biological sample — including urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva — to identify the presence or absence of specified parental drugs or their metabolites. Main uses include determining the existence of performance-enhancing substances in athletes, screening for drugs prohibited by law for employers or parole/probation officers, and measuring blood alcohol concentration (BAC) typically via breathalyzers. While urinalysis is the most prevalent form of drug testing, various methods with differing accuracy, sensitivity (detection threshold/cutoff), and detection windows are available. A drug test may also include quantitative chemical analysis to aid in responsible drug usage.

Can Passive Marijuana Smoke Inhalation Trigger a False Positive?

The cut-off concentrations for analysis are set well above levels that might result from "passive" inhalation of second-hand marijuana smoke, making it unlikely to cause a false positive result.

Abnormal results in a urine test may point to a false negative or intentional sample adulteration. Examples include:

• Low creatinine levels might indicate sample tampering, possibly from consuming ample water prior to testing or adding water directly to the sample.
• Creatinine levels are evaluated alongside specific gravity to determine sample dilution. To mitigate dilution risks, some labs may color toilet water blue.
• Attempts to stabilize a sample using certain enzymes may alter its pH, which is also analyzed.

Duration of Drug Persistance in the System

The detection window, or look-back period, of a drug test is influenced by numerous factors including:

• Quantity of the drug consumed
• Frequency of drug intake
• Type of drug used
• Individual metabolic rate and overall health
• Fluid intake post-drug consumption
• Exercise levels post-drug intake
• Genetic factors affecting drug response
