ABSTRACT
Drug testing is the process of using a biological sample to detect the
presence or absence of a drug or its metabolites. This process can be
completed in a variety of settings and with a variety of techniques. As the
body metabolizes various drugs at different rates, the time frame for
detecting certain drugs or metabolites can be very specific and can vary
widely from substance to [Link] most common samples currently
used are urine and blood, but hair, sweat, and saliva samples are
becoming more popular. The single most frequently used technique for
alcohol is breath analysis. Forensic drug analysis is applied to the
identification of illegal substances within the criminal justice system. Like all
other science disciplines, it examines the way the atoms and molecules in
matter interact and bond with each other. The ultimate purpose of forensic
drug analysis is to ensure such evidence is legally admissible as evidence
in a court of law. That's why it's an investigator's job to ensure the integrity
of the drug evidence they have collected, from the time they laid their
hands on it until the time it is presented as evidence in court.
