Drug Detection

The table below includes commonly abused drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, hash, methamphetamine and other amphetamines. It was published in September, 1999, by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The type of specimen (blood, hair or urine) to which the table refers is not clear. But the drug detection times are within the ranges reported by other sources for urine analysis, and it's the most commonly-used drug testing method by Federal government.

Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Schedule I and II drugs have a high potential for abuse. They require greater storage security and have a quota on manufacture among other restrictions. Schedule I drugs are available for research only and have no approved medical use. Schedule II drugs are available only through prescription, cannot have refills and require a form for ordering. Schedule III and IV drugs are available with prescription, may have 5 refills in 6 months and may be ordered orally. Most Schedule V drugs are available over the counter.

Drug Cutoff Levels

Drug cutoff levels are the minimum concentrations of drugs or metabolites that must be present in specimens, before labs will report the drug testing results as positive. 

Basic testing typically screens for the following, commonly abused drugs.

  • Amphetamines (speed, meth, crank, ecstasy)
  • Cannabinoids (marijuana, hash)
  • Cocaine (coke, crack)
  • Opiates (heroin, morphine, opium, codeine)
  • Phencyclidine (PCP)

Extended testing might also screen for some or all of the following, but basic testing is the most common.

  • Barbituates (phenobarbital, butabital, secobarbitol)
  • Benzodiazepines (tranquilizers like Valium, Librium, Xanax)
  • Ethanol (ethyl alcohol, booze)
  • Hallucinogens (LSD, mushrooms, mescaline, peyote)
  • Inhalants (paint, glue, hairspray)
  • Anabolic Steroids (synthesized, muscle-building hormones)

The tables below are compiled from public-domain information in the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs. (See Notes below.) They are for urine analysis of the commonly abused types of drugs known as the "SAMHSA Five."

Initial Drug Cutoff Levels

Drug

Nanograms per Milliliter (ng/ml)

Marijuana metabolites

50

Cocaine metabolites

150

Opiate metabolites 1

2000

Phencyclidine (PCP)

500

1 Labs are permitted to initial test all specimens for 6-acetylmorphine at a 10 ng/ml cutoff
2 Target analyte must be d-methamphetamine and the test must significantly cross-react with MDMA, MDA, and MDEA

1 Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid
2 Benzoylecgonine
3 Specimen must also contain d-amphetamine at a concentration > 100 ng/ml
4 Labs test for 6-acetylmorphine when the morphine concentration exceeds 2,000 ng/ml

Note:

If you've never or rarely abused drugs, but happen to get some into your system close to the time you submit your specimen, like at a party where pot smoke fills the air, you'll come in at only about 5 ng/ml for marijuana metabolites. That's well below the cutoff level of 50 ng/ml, so you're safe. The tests are only for illegal drug use. If you're on legit prescription medications and have normal levels for such, you have nothing to fear.
