In September 1881 the former Ute Indian Territory was abolished and the Utes forced into a reservation so that the U.S. government could open the area to white settlers. Clinton County, Pennsylvania-born George Addison Crawford (1827–91) soon purchased a plot of land. On July 22, 1882, he incorporated the town of Grand Junction and planted Colorado's first vineyard near Palisade, Colorado, causing the area to become known as the Colorado Wine Country. Grand Junction also has a storied past with gunfighters, miners, and early settlers of the American Southwest. The infamous "Doc" Holliday was buried in Grand Junction Cemetery after his death from "consumption" (tuberculosis), as Grand Junction was one of his favorite places before he began living full-time at the sanatorium in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test analyzes a biological sample to detect specific substances or their metabolites. Common uses include detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, monitoring legal compliance for probation or parole, and testing for workplace or legal requirements. Urine testing is widely used in sport and workplace contexts.

Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Affect Marijuana Test Results?

Passive inhalation of marijuana smoke generally does not impact test results, as the thresholds for lab analysis are far above those expected from passive exposure.

Other urine test discrepancies may suggest issues like tampering. Examples include:

  • Low creatinine suggesting dilution, either by the subject drinking excessive water or adding water to the sample.
  • Testing these levels with specific gravity confirms sample integrity.
  • Adding enzymes to alter the sample can change pH, detectable through testing.

Duration of Drug Presence in the Body

The period a drug remains detectable depends on several factors, such as:

  • Dosage and frequency
  • Drug type
  • Individual's metabolic rate and health
  • Fluid and exercise levels post-ingestion
  • Genetic factors that affect drug processing
