Norfolk was incorporated in 1705. In 1730, a tobacco inspection site was located here. According to the Tobacco Inspection Act, the inspection was "At Norfolk Town, upon the fort land, in the County of Norfolk; and Kemp's Landing, in Princess Anne, under one inspection." In 1736 George II granted it a royal charter as a borough. By 1775, Norfolk developed into what contemporary observers argued was the most prosperous city in Virginia. It was an important port for exporting goods to the British Isles and beyond. In part because of its merchants' numerous trading ties with other parts of the British Empire, Norfolk served as a strong base of Loyalist support during the early part of the American Revolution. After fleeing the colonial capital of Williamsburg, the Royal Governor of Virginia, John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, tried to reestablish control of the colony from Norfolk. Dunmore secured small victories at Norfolk but was soon driven into exile by the Virginia militia, commanded by Colonel Woodford. His departure brought an end to more than 168 years of British colonial rule in Virginia.

Understanding Drug Tests

Drug testing involves analyzing biological samples such as urine, hair, blood, and saliva to find drugs or their byproducts. Applications include detecting performance enhancers in sports, legal monitoring by employers or probation officers, and police alcohol testing (BAC) through breathalyzers. Other methods vary in accuracy and detection periods. A drug test can also detail illegal substance usage for informed consumption.

False Positive for Marijuana from Passive Smoke?

"Passive" inhalation of marijuana smoke won't yield positives on a drug test. Lab cut-off levels are set well above passive exposure limits.

Urine screening can exhibit irregularities indicating tampering or false negatives, such as:

  • Low creatinine indicating sample dilution or adulteration
  • Creatinine and specific gravity test to evaluate dilution, with measures like colored toilet water to prevent tampering
  • Enzymes added to samples can alter pH, also checked by labs

Drug Presence Duration in the Body

The detection timeframe of substances depends on several factors, including:

  • Drug dosage
  • Frequency of use
  • Drug type
  • Metabolic rate and individual health
  • Fluid intake since use
  • Physical activity since use
  • Genetic factors affecting drug processing
