Understanding Drug Testing

Drug tests involve analyzing biological samples such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to identify specific drugs and their metabolites. They are crucial in various fields like sports, employment, and law enforcement to detect prohibited substances. Tests can range from breathalyzers for alcohol to urinalysis for workplace drug screening, with each method offering different degrees of accuracy and sensitivity.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Result in a False Positive for Marijuana?

Passive exposure to marijuana smoke typically does not cause a false positive, as lab cut-off thresholds are set higher than what can be expected from passive inhalation.

Other irregularities might suggest sample tampering or a false negative, such as:

• Low creatinine levels may indicate dilution, either by excessive water intake or adding water to the sample.
• Combining creatinine with specific gravity checks can help identify sample dilution. Testing facilities may color toilet water to prevent dilution from the toilet.
• Some subjects attempt to alter samples using enzymes, potentially affecting pH levels, which are also monitored.

How Long do Drugs Remain Detectable in Your System?

Drug detection windows vary based on multiple factors, including:

• Quantity of drug consumed
• Frequency of use
• Type of drug
• Individual's metabolic rate and health status
• Fluid intake post-consumption
• Activity level since consumption
• Genetic differences influencing drug processing
