In 1742, Maryland's General Assembly made Frederick the county seat of Frederick County, which then extended to the Appalachian mountains (areas further west being disputed between the colonies of Virginia and Pennsylvania until 1789). The current town's first house was built by a young German Reformed schoolmaster from the Rhineland Palatinate named Johann Thomas Schley (died 1790), who led a party of immigrants (including his wife, Maria Von Winz) to the Maryland colony. The Palatinate settlers bought land from Dulany on the banks of Carroll Creek, and Schley's house stood at the northwest corner of Middle Alley and East Patrick Street into the 20th century. Schley's settlers also founded a German Reformed Church (today known as Evangelical Reformed Church, and part of the UCC). Probably the oldest house still standing in Frederick today is Schifferstadt, built in 1756 by German settler Joseph Brunner and now the Schifferstadt Architectural Museum.

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Panels determine the drugs tested, commonly offered in 5, 10, or 12-panel configurations, with the option for custom screenings.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves analyzing a biological sample such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to detect the presence of drugs or metabolites. Used in sports, law enforcement, and employer screenings, testing methods vary in accuracy and detection length. A drug test can also quantitatively determine illegal drug concentrations for responsible use purposes.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Lead to a False Marijuana Positive?

Lab thresholds are set to discount the effects of passive smoke inhalation from secondhand exposure to marijuana smoke as a valid cause for a positive result.

Other urine abnormalities may indicate inaccurate results or deliberate sample tampering. For instance:

  • Low creatinine values suggest tampering, either by excessive water intake before testing or sample dilution.
  • Combining creatinine levels with specific gravity checks can indicate dilution attempts; coloring toilet water prevents added dilution.
  • Introducing enzymes to alter sample stability may shift pH values, which are also tested.

Drug Retention in the Body

The detection window for drugs varies based on several factors, including:

  • Drug intake quantity
  • Frequency of use
  • Type of substance
  • Individual metabolism and health status
  • Fluid consumption post-use
  • Physical activity post-use
  • Genetic differences affecting drug response

Local Area Info: Frederick, Maryland

Frederick is a city in, and the county seat of, Frederick County in the U.S. state of Maryland. It is part of the Baltimore–Washington Metropolitan Area. Frederick has long been an important crossroads, located at the intersection of a major north–south Indian trail and east–west routes to the Chesapeake Bay, both at Baltimore and what became Washington, D.C. and across the Appalachian mountains to the Ohio River watershed. It is a part of the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is part of a greater Washington-Baltimore-Arlington, DC-MD-VA-WV-PA Combined Statistical Area. The city's population was 65,239 people at the 2010 United States Census, making it the second-largest incorporated city in Maryland, behind Baltimore. Frederick is home to Frederick Municipal Airport (IATA: FDK), which accommodates general aviation, and to the county's largest employer U.S. Army's Fort Detrick bioscience/communications research installation.

Located where Catoctin Mountain (the easternmost ridge of the Blue Ridge mountains) meets the rolling hills of the Piedmont region, the Frederick area became a crossroads even before European explorers and traders arrived. Native American hunters possibly including the Susquehannocks, the Algonquian-speaking Shawnee, or the Seneca or Tuscarora or other members of the Iroquois Confederation) followed the Monocacy River from the Susquehanna River watershed in Pennsylvania to the Potomac River watershed and the lands of the more agrarian and maritime Algonquian peoples, particularly the Lenape of the Delaware valley or the Piscataway and Powhatan of the lower Potomac watershed and Chesapeake Bay. This became known as the Monocacy Trail or even the Great Indian Warpath, with some travelers continuing southward through the "Great Appalachian Valley" (Shenandoah Valley, etc.) to the western Piedmont in North Carolina, or traveling down other watersheds in Virginia toward the Chesapeake Bay, such as those of the Rappahannock, James and York Rivers.

The earliest European settlement was slightly north of Frederick in Monocacy, Maryland. Founded before 1730, when the Indian trail became a wagon road, Monocacy was abandoned before the American Revolutionary War, perhaps due to the river's periodic flooding or hostilities predating the French and Indian War, or simply Frederick's better location with easier access to the Potomac River near its confluence with the Monocacy.
