Pre-Employment Drug Testing:

This is the most common form of testing. In this type of testing, a job applicant is normally asked to take a urine drug screen as part of the application procedure. If applicants fail the test, they are not given a job with the company.

Post Accident Drug Testing:

Any employee that is involved in an on-the-job accident ? no matter what the cause - will be required to take a substance abuse test. It's been conclusively shown that this form of testing dramatically reduces the number of on-the-job accidents.

Random Drug Testing:

Unannounced or random testing is the form of testing most likely to identify substance abusers. Companies regulated by the Department of Transportation and Defense, in particular, require these test.

Reasonable Suspicion Drug Testing:

Employees can be asked to take a drug or alcohol test if their actions warrant it. Reasonable suspicion testing can be triggered by such factors as bizarre or extremely erratic behavior, the discovery of drug paraphernalia, or strong suspicion that an employee is at the moment under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol.

What is a "Drug-Free Workplace?

It is an employment setting where all employees adhere to a program of policies and activities designed to provide a safe workplace, discourage alcohol and drug abuse and encourage treatment, recovery and the return to work of those employees with such abuse problems.

If done correctly, drug testing for cocaine is pretty accurate no other drug(s) should trigger a positive result. Most drug tests that check for cocaine use look for benzoylecgonine, a product of the body's metabolism of cocaine that can be detected in urine for around three days after using the substance.

According to the guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for evaluating the result(s) of a drug test, no prescription medications will cause a false positive. Furthermore, studies have shown that even passively inhaling the smoke from crack cocaine will not result in a positive test result.

In some situations, health care providers may use topical anesthetics that actually contain cocaine itself, which can cause a positive result. In doing so, however, they are also required to document the substance's use, which can be helpful in better understanding a drug test result. The use of other topical anesthetics, such as Novocain and lidocaine, will not produce positive results.

One last possibility for a positive drug test result for cocaine is drinking coca leaf tea, which is popular in a handful of countries outside of the United States. Coca leaf tea has detectable amounts of cocaine and is therefore banned from the U.S., but it could be that the tea was consumed outside of the country.

While marijuana itself does not actually stay in the body, some of the chemicals in the drug do. THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), the substance in pot that's mainly responsible for people's high, may stay in the body forever � scientists aren't exactly sure. However, THC is only detectable for a certain period of time after using marijuana or being exposed to marijuana smoke.

Compared to other controlled substances, THC is able to stay in a person's system for a relatively long period of time because it is fat-soluble. Being fat-soluble allows it to be stored in fatty tissues of various organs. From here, THC is slowly released and metabolized. This metabolite of THC is then excreted and cleared from a person's system.

In testing to see if someone has recently used pot, there are two important substances to keep in mind: THC and 9-carboxy-THC. 9-carboxy-THC is a product of the body's metabolism of THC and, more importantly, it is detectable for a longer period of time than THC is detectable. This is the reason that drug tests, namely urine tests, look for 9-carboxy-THC.

Many of the following numbers are estimates. The actual amount of time that these substances are detectable in a person's body depends on several factors, including how much pot is used, how often a person uses it, and the rate of his/her metabolism of the substance.

Some private companies may use hair tests to detect possible marijuana use. Positive hair test results have been found to be unreliable.

* Frequent users are defined as people who use marijuana several times per week, if not more often.

** Infrequent users are those who use marijuana seldom enough that THC and/or its metabolite are no longer detectable before their next use. In essence, these users do not use pot often enough to allow for the tested substances to build-up from one use to another.

The detection period for 9-carboxy-THC in urine can be as long as 3 months in extremely heavy users.
