clockDrug Detection Periods are expressed in terms of lower and upper boundaries. Many factors can determine an individual’s placement within these boundaries. In general, the following factors will increase a drug’s detection period: chronic use, high levels of use, high potency, slow body metabolism, high body fat count (Marijuana and PCP), low fluid intake, and overall poor health.
