The area was called Boise long before the establishment of Fort Boise by the federal government. The original Fort Boise was 40 miles (64 km) west, near Parma, down the Boise River near its confluence with the Snake River at the Oregon border. This private sector defense was erected by the Hudson's Bay Company in the 1830s. It was abandoned in the 1850s, but massacres along the Oregon Trail prompted the U.S. Army to re-establish a fort in the area in 1863 during the U.S. Civil War.

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug test groups are called panels, with common ones being 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, determining the number of substances checked. Customized panels are also available.

Understanding a Drug Test

A drug test is a scientific analysis of a biological sample, like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to identify the presence of drugs or their metabolites. Uses include detecting performance-enhancing steroids in sports, employment screenings for illegal substances, and BAC (blood alcohol content) to check alcohol levels, typically using breathalyzers. Various testing methods exist, each with unique sensitivity and accuracy levels.

Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Lead to a False Positive for Marijuana?

"Passive" exposure to marijuana smoke, such as being in a room where it's smoked, generally does not cause false positives as labs set detection thresholds above levels likely to result from passive exposure.

Discrepancies in urine test results can signal false negatives or sample tampering, such as:

  • Low creatinine indicating dilution, either by ingesting excess water before testing or adding water to the sample.
  • Using creatinine levels with specific gravity tests to identify dilution attempts. Lab protocols might include blue toilet water to prevent dilution.
  • Attempts to alter samples with enzymes can change pH, also monitored during testing.

Duration of Drugs in Your System

A drug test’s look-back period is influenced by various factors, including:

  • Quantity of drug consumed
  • Frequency of consumption
  • Type of drug
  • Individual metabolism and overall health
  • Fluid intake post-consumption
  • Exercise after consumption
  • Genetic variations affecting drug response

Local Area Info: Boise, Idaho

Boise (/?b??si/ (listen)) is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Idaho, and is the county seat of Ada County. Located on the Boise River in southwestern Idaho, the population of Boise at the 2010 Census was 205,671, the 99th largest in the United States. Its estimated population in 2016 was 223,154.

The Boise-Nampa metropolitan area, also known as the Treasure Valley, includes five counties with a combined population of 709,845, the most populous metropolitan area in Idaho. It contains the state's three largest cities; Boise, Nampa, and Meridian. Boise is the 80th most populous metropolitan statistical area in the United States.

Accounts differ regarding the name's origin. One account credits Capt. B.L.E. Bonneville of the U.S. Army as its source. After trekking for weeks through dry and rough terrain, his exploration party reached an overlook with a view of the Boise River Valley. The place where they stood is called Bonneville Point, located on the Oregon Trail east of the city. According to the story, a French-speaking guide, overwhelmed by the sight of the verdant river, yelled "Les bois! Les bois!" ("The woods! The woods!")—and the name stuck.
