Standard drug testing measures drug by-products in the urine which move through the body quickly and for most drugs are no longer measurable after 1 month. Drugs are deposited in the nails through absorption into the root of the growing nail bed. Because fingernails and toenails take 3 to 6 months to grow from the nail bed to tip of the finger or toe, traces of drugs will remain in the fingernails longer than in the urine or the blood, providing a much longer detection window
