Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

Defining a Drug Test
A drug test is a technical evaluation of a biological specimen, like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluids, to determine the presence or absence of particular drugs or their metabolites. Its main uses involve detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, screening employees or individuals on parole, and alcohol testing by law enforcement. BAC tests use breathalyzers, while urinalysis is predominant in workplace and sports environments. Various testing methods offer differing accuracy and sensitivity levels. Some tests also measure drug concentration for controlled use.
Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Result in a False Positive for Marijuana?
"Passive" inhalation from exposure to marijuana smoke is unlikely to cause a false positive in lab tests due to threshold levels set well above possible levels from indirect exposure.
Other irregularities in urine tests may suggest deliberate tampering or incorrect results. For example:
- Low creatinine levels may imply sample dilution, either by excessive water intake before testing or by adding water to the sample.
- Creatinine measures, along with specific gravity, can detect dilution. Testing labs might color toilet water to prevent further dilution.
- Subjects may also add enzymes to alter sample stability, but these adjustments usually change the test's pH.
How Long Do Drugs Remain Detectable in Your System?
A drug's detection window varies depending on several factors, including:
- The drug dosage
- The frequency of use
- Type of drug
- An individual's metabolism and overall health
- Fluid intake after drug consumption
- Exercise levels post-consumption
- Other genetic traits influencing drug metabolism

Local Area Info: Santa Maria, California
Santa Maria is a city near the Southern California coast in Santa Barbara County. It is approximately 65 miles (105 km) northwest of Santa Barbara and 150 miles (240 km) northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Its estimated 2018 population was 108,470, making it the most populous city in the county and the Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA Metro Area. The city is notable for its wine industry and Santa Maria-style barbecue. Sunset magazine called Santa Maria "The West's Best BBQ Town".
The Santa Maria Valley, stretching from the Santa Lucia Mountains toward the Pacific Ocean, was the homeland of the Chumash people for several thousand years. The Native Americans made their homes on the slopes of the surrounding hills among the oaks, on the banks of the Santa Maria River among the sycamores, and along the coast. They had unique plank-built boats, called Tomol, which they used for ocean fishing.
In 1769, the Portolá Expedition passed through the Santa Maria Valley during the first Spanish land exploration up the coast of Las Californias Province. Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa was established just north of the valley in 1772, and Mission La Purísima Concepción was established near present-day Lompoc in 1787. Rather than rich soil, white settlers were attracted here by the possibility of free land. In 1821, after the Mexican War of Independence, the mission lands in Santa Maria Valley were made available for private ownership under a Mexican land grant called Rancho Punta de Laguna. At the end of the Mexican War in 1848, California was ceded to the United States.
