Suffolk was founded by English colonists in 1742 as a port town on the Nansemond River in the Virginia Colony. Originally known as Constant's Warehouse, for settler John Constant, Suffolk was renamed after Royal Governor William Gooch's home of Suffolk, a county in East Anglia, England. Before European contact, indigenous American tribes had lived in the region for thousands of years. At the time of English settlement, the Nansemond Indians lived along the river. In the early colonial years, the English cultivated tobacco as a commodity crop, but later turned to mixed farming. It became the county seat of Nansemond County in 1750.

Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

Common panel types, such as 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel drug tests refer to the number of substances screened. Customized testing panels are also an option.

Understanding Drug Testing

A drug test involves analyzing a biological specimen—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluids—to detect specified drugs or their metabolites. Drug testing is used widely to identify performance-enhancing drugs in athletics, illegal substances for employers or parole/probation officers, and alcohol concentration by law enforcement. Various methods, with differing accuracy and detection times, are available. Drug tests may also refer to analytical procedures intended for responsible drug use.

Can Passive Smoke Exposure Lead to a False Positive for Cannabis?

Inhalation of secondhand cannabis smoke is not typically recognized as valid, as laboratory cut-off levels are well above those possible from passive exposure.

Irregularities in urine screens might suggest false negatives or tampering, such as:

  • Low creatinine levels might indicate dilution through excess water consumption or added water to the sample.
  • Creatinine levels, along with specific gravity, help determine sample dilution. To prevent tampering, testing facilities may color toilet water to avoid sample adulteration.
  • Subjects may attempt altering urine samples chemically, but changes typically result in detectable alterations in pH levels, which are also scrutinized.

Duration of Drugs in Your System

The detection windows of drug tests depend on numerous factors. Factors influencing drug retention include:

  • Quantity of the drug consumed
  • Frequency of drug intake
  • Drug type
  • An individual's metabolism and overall health
  • Fluid intake since the drug was taken
  • Exercise following drug ingestion
  • Genetic variations impacting drug response
