In 1769, the Spanish Portolà expedition, first recorded European visitors to inland areas of California, came down the Santa Clara River Valley from the previous night's encampment near today's Saticoy and camped near the outlet of the Ventura River on August 14. Fray Juan Crespi, a Franciscan missionary traveling with the expedition, noted that "we saw a regular town, the most populous and best laid-out of all that we had seen on the journey up to the present time." Archaeological records found that the Chumash village they encountered was settled sometime around 1000 A.D.

Selecting an Appropriate Drug Testing Panel

Drug testing panels refer to the group of substances screened. The most common configurations include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, each indicating the number of substances tested. Custom configurations are also available.

An Overview of Drug Testing

Drug testing involves analyzing a biological sample—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to detect specified drugs or metabolites. Applications range from monitoring illegal drug use and performance-enhancing drug detection in sports to legal and probation enforcement, which often uses BAC tests via breathalyzer. Urinalysis is prevalent across workplaces and sports. Various methodologies exist with differing accuracy and detection ranges. Drug tests may also provide quantitative analyses for illegal substances.

Can Passive Smoke Exposure Trigger a Marijuana Test?

Passive exposure to marijuana smoke does not typically cause a positive test, as testing thresholds are set to avoid this. However, unusual urine results may indicate a false negative or sample tampering. For example:

  • A low creatinine level may suggest dilution, either from excessive water intake or direct adulteration of the sample.
  • Laboratories often use specific gravity and creatinine levels to confirm sample integrity. To prevent dilution, toilet water may be colored blue.
  • Some attempt to alter urine stability with enzymes, which can alter pH—another tested parameter.

Drug Retention in the System

Detection periods for drugs vary based on multiple factors:

  • Quantity consumed
  • Frequency of use
  • Type of drug
  • Individual metabolic rate and overall health
  • Fluid intake post-consumption
  • Physical activity since consumption
  • Genetic factors influencing individual drug response

Local Area Info: Ventura, California

Ventura, officially the City of San Buenaventura, is the county seat of Ventura County, California, United States. The coastal site, set against undeveloped hills and flanked by two free-flowing rivers, has been inhabited for thousands of years. European explorers encountered a Chumash village, referred to as Shisholop, here while traveling along the Pacific coast. They witnessed the ocean navigation skill of the native people and their use of the abundant local resources from sea and land.(p36) The eponymous Mission San Buenaventura was founded nearby in 1782 where it benefitted from the water of the Ventura River. The town grew around the mission compound and incorporated in 1866. The development of nearby oil fields in the 1920s and the age of automobile travel created a major real estate boom during which many designated landmark buildings were constructed. The mission and these buildings are at the center of a downtown that has become a cultural, retail, and residential district and visitor destination.

Ventura lies between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara along U.S. Route 101, which was one of the original U.S. Routes. The highway is now known as the Ventura Freeway, but the original route through the town along Main Street has been designated El Camino Real, the historic pathway connecting the California missions. During the post–World War II economic expansion, the community grew easterly, building detached single-family homes over the rich agricultural land created by the Santa Clara River at the edge of the Oxnard Plain. The population was 106,433 at the 2010 census, up from 100,916 at the 2000 census with the median age being 39. Ventura is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Archaeological discoveries in the area suggest that humans have populated the region for at least 10,000-12,000 years. Archaeological research demonstrates that the Chumash people have deep roots in central and southern coastal regions of California, and has revealed artifacts from their culture.(p11) Shisholop Village, designated Historic Point of Interest #18 by the city at the foot of nearby Figueroa Street, was the site of a Chumash village. The Ventura band (Mitskanaka), which was in residence at the time of the arrival of the Spanish, had contact with the Limu band on Santa Cruz Island, who traveled in seagoing Tomols, plank-built boats, bringing shell bead money and chert in trade.
