Recent archaeological excavations near the Santa Cruz River found a village site dating from 2100 BC. The floodplain of the Santa Cruz River was extensively farmed during the Early Agricultural Period, circa 1200 BC to AD 150. These people constructed irrigation canals and grew corn, beans, and other crops, while also gathering wild plants and nuts, and hunting.

Which Drug Testing Panel Suits Your Needs?

Drug tests groupings are often named panels. Common panels include 5, 10, and 12-panel tests, but customization is also possible.

Explaining a Drug Test

Drug tests analyze biological specimens such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluids to detect specific drugs or their metabolites. Tests are used in sports to identify performance-enhancing substances, among employers, parole officers, and law enforcement to test for alcohol (BAC), often via breathalyzer, while urinalysis is standard in sports and work settings. Various tests exist with differences in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection time. Sometimes, tests quantify an illegal drug to support responsible use.

Could Passive Smoke Exposure Cause a False Positive for Marijuana?

"Passive" marijuana smoke exposure is unlikely to produce a positive result, as analysis thresholds are set significantly higher than what passive exposure might yield.

Urine screen abnormalities could suggest a false negative or intentional sample tampering, such as:

  • Low creatinine may indicate dilution due to excessive water intake or if water was added to the sample.
  • Creatinine and specific gravity checks determine potential sample dilution; labs might tint toilet water blue to prevent sample dilution using this water.
  • Adding enzymes to affect sample stability often results in altered pH levels, which are also tested.

Drug Elimination Time from the Body

The duration drugs remain detectable in your system is influenced by several factors:

  • Quantity consumed
  • Frequency of use
  • Drug type
  • Metabolic rate and general health
  • Fluid intake post-consumption
  • Physical activity post-consumption
  • Individual genetic differences affecting drug metabolism
