Understanding Drug Tests
A drug test involves analyzing a biological sample like urine, hair, blood, or saliva to identify the presence of specific drugs or their metabolites. Applications range from detecting steroids in sports to screenings by employers and law enforcement for illegal substances.
Does Passive Smoke Cause a False Positive for THC?
"Passive" inhalation of marijuana smoke is unlikely to trigger a positive result, as the thresholds for testing surpass what passive inhalation would cause.
Abnormalities in urine tests may indicate a false negative or sample tampering. Examples include:
- Low creatinine levels may suggest dilution, either by excessive water intake before testing or adding water to the sample.
- Labs use creatinine alongside specific gravity to detect dilution. To prevent tampering, test sites might color toilet water to deter adding toilet water to samples.
- Adding specific enzymes to modify the sample can alter its pH, which is also tested.
Duration Drugs Remain Detectable
The detection period of drugs in your system varies with:
- Dosage of the drug
- Frequency of drug use
- Type of drug used
- Metabolic rate and health of the individual
- Fluid intake since drug use
- Exercise regimen since drug use
- Genetic factors affecting individual response to the drug

Local Area Info: Santa Barbara, California
Santa Barbara (Spanish: Santa Bárbara) is the county seat of Santa Barbara County in the U.S. state of California. Situated on a south-facing section of coastline, the longest such section on the West Coast of the United States, the city lies between the steeply rising Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Santa Barbara's climate is often described as Mediterranean, and the city has been promoted as the "American Riviera". As of 2014, the city had an estimated population of 91,196, up from 88,410 in 2010, making it the second most populous city in the county after Santa Maria. The contiguous urban area, which includes the cities of Goleta and Carpinteria, along with the unincorporated regions of Isla Vista, Montecito, Mission Canyon, Hope Ranch, Summerland, and others, has an approximate population of 220,000. The population of the entire county in 2010 was 423,895.
In addition to being a popular tourist and resort destination, the city economy includes a large service sector, education, technology, health care, finance, agriculture, manufacturing, and local government. In 2004, the service sector accounted for fully 35% of local employment. Education in particular is well represented, with four institutions of higher learning on the south coast (the University of California, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara City College, Westmont College, and Antioch University). The Santa Barbara Airport serves the city, Santa Barbara Aviation provides jet charter aircraft and train service is provided by Amtrak the Pacific Surfliner which runs from San Diego to San Luis Obispo). U.S. Highway 101 connects the Santa Barbara area with Los Angeles to the southeast and San Francisco to the northwest. Behind the city, in and beyond the Santa Ynez Mountains, is the Los Padres National Forest, which contains several remote wilderness areas. Channel Islands National Park and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary are located approximately 20 miles (32 km) offshore.
Evidence of human habitation of the area begins at least 13,000 years ago. Evidence for a Paleoindian presence includes a fluted Clovis-like point found in the 1980s along the western Santa Barbara County coast, as well as the remains of Arlington Springs Man, found on Santa Rosa Island in the 1960s. An estimated 8,000 to 10,000 Chumash lived on the south coast of Santa Barbara County at the time of the first European explorations.[citation needed]
