Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

What is a Drug Test?

A drug test is an analysis of biological specimens such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluid to detect specific drugs or their metabolites. They are used for identifying performance-enhancing drugs in sports, screening illegal drugs in employment or legal supervision, and assessing blood alcohol content (BAC) for law enforcement. While BAC tests are often conducted with breathalyzers, urinalysis is common in sports and workplaces. Additional methods vary in accuracy and detection period.

Does Passive Inhalation of Smoke Cause False Positives for Marijuana?

Exposure to marijuana smoke in shared spaces does not typically result in a valid positive test, as laboratory thresholds for confirmation are set above levels that could result from passive exposure.

Irregularities in urine tests may suggest false negatives or attempts at tampering, such as:

• Low creatinine levels could indicate deliberate dilution or water added to the sample.
• Creatinine levels are often combined with specific gravity to check for dilution. Labs may color toilet water to prevent samples from being diluted with tap water.
• Attempts to stabilize a sample with enzymes often alter its pH, which labs also check.

Drug Detection Times in Your System

How long drugs remain detectable varies with several factors, including:

• Amount and frequency of drug use
• Type of drug
• Individual metabolism and health
• Fluid intake following use
• Exercise since ingestion
• Individual genetic factors affecting drug metabolism
