Drug Test
Hair samples are increasingly being used to detect the presence of illegal drugs both by the state and also by private employers who test their employees. The advantages of hair analysis include the non-invasiveness, low cost and the ability to measure a large number of, potentially interacting, toxic and biologically essential elements. The judicial admissibility of the test is guided by the Daubert standard. A precedent of national reference has been United States v. Medina, 749 F.Supp. 59 (E.D.N.Y.1990).
