Drug testing and Types

Drug testing is the method which is used for measuring and evaluating the type and even the quantity of the legal or the illegal drug taken. It is done to check out whether the drug which is consumed is legal or illegal and when all the tests are done properly the result of the test will be accurate.


In general, the drugs are of two types: legal and illegal. The legal types of drugs are used mostly for medical purposes for curing any diseases. The other types of drugs are recreational drugs or illegal drugs which are prohibited by the national laws and they are used for fun and entertainment. The drug testing is done mostly for the case of illegal drugs.


The drug test is the analysis done by the biological samples. The samples like urine, hair, blood, saliva, sweat etc are used. Drug test is helpful at the homes, work places, schools and even at sports. Some of the illegal drugs are cocaine, heroin, alcohol, morphine etc.
