The 1880s saw the construction of a number of elegant homes and commercial buildings and the growth of a distinctive identity for Fort Collins. Stone quarrying, sugar-beet farming, and the slaughter of sheep were among the area's earliest industries. Beet tops, an industry supported by the college and its associated agricultural experiment station, proved to be an excellent and abundant food for local sheep, and by the early 1900s the area was being referred to as the "Lamb feeding capital of the world". In 1901 the Great Western sugar processing plant was built in the neighboring city of Loveland.

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug screenings are conducted in panels, which specify the number of drugs checked. The most common panels are 5, 10, and 12-panel tests, with custom panels available to meet specific needs.

Defining a Drug Test

A drug test involves analyzing a biological sample, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to identify the presence or absence of drugs or their metabolites. These tests play a significant role in sports for steroid detection, compliance checking by employers and legal authorities, and alcohol concentration determination by law enforcement (often via a breathalyzer). Urinalysis is predominantly used in workplaces and sports. Several methods with varying precision and detection capabilities are utilized for drug testing.

A drug test may also provide quantitative analysis of illegal substances, supporting responsible consumption.

Influence of Passive Marijuana Smoke

"Passive" inhalation of marijuana smoke, such as being near smokers, generally does not cause a false-positive test result due to established threshold levels that exceed possible passive exposure.

Laboratory anomalies, such as altered urine results, could suggest false negatives or intentional sample tampering. Tampering examples include:

  • Low creatinine levels hinting at dilution, possibly from excessive water intake or added water;
  • Creatinine checks, along with specific gravity tests, confirm sample integrity. Colored toilet water can prevent sample dilution;
  • Adding enzymes to adjust pH can indicate tampering.

Drug Detection Windows

A drug's detection window varies with several factors, including:

  • Drug quantity consumed
  • Frequency of use
  • Type of substance
  • Individual's metabolic rate and health
  • Volume of fluids consumed post-ingestion
  • Exercise amount post-ingestion
  • Genetic differences affecting drug response

Local Area Info: Fort Collins, Colorado

Fort Collins is the Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat and the most populous municipality of Larimer County, Colorado, United States. Situated on the Cache La Poudre River along the Colorado Front Range, Fort Collins is located 56 mi (90 km) north of the Colorado State Capitol in Denver. With a 2016 estimated population of 161,000, it is the fourth most populous city in Colorado after Denver, Colorado Springs, and Aurora. Fort Collins is a midsize college city, home to Colorado State University.

Fort Collins was founded as a military outpost of the United States Army in 1864. It succeeded a previous encampment, known as Camp Collins, on the Cache La Poudre River, near what is known today as Laporte. Camp Collins was erected during the Indian wars of the mid-1860s to protect the Overland mail route that had been recently relocated through the region. Travelers crossing the county on the Overland Trail would camp there, but a flood destroyed the camp in June 1864. Afterward, the commander of the fort wrote to the commandant of Fort Laramie in southeast Wyoming, Colonel William O. Collins, suggesting that a site several miles farther down the river would make a good location for the fort. The post was manned originally by two companies of the 11th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry and never had walls.

Settlers began arriving in the vicinity of the fort nearly immediately. The fort was decommissioned in 1867. The original fort site is now adjacent to the present historic "Old Town" portion of the city. The first school and church opened in 1866, and the town was platted in 1867. The civilian population of Fort Collins, led by local businessman Joseph Mason, led an effort to relocate the county seat to Fort Collins from LaPorte, and they were successful in 1868.
