The area where Lancaster is now located, known as the Antelope Valley, was originally home to the Paiute Indians. Lancaster's origins as a settlement start with the Southern Pacific Railroad, which is believed to first use the name Lancaster, where a station house, locomotive watering facilities and section gang housing were built when the railroad laid track through the town's future location. In 1876 the Southern Pacific completed the line through the Antelope Valley, linking San Francisco and Los Angeles. The origin of Lancaster's name is unclear, attributed variously to the surname of a railroad station clerk, the moniker given by railroad officials, or the former Pennsylvania home (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) of unknown settlers. Train service brought passengers through the water-stop-turned-community, which, with the help of promotional literature, attracted new settlers. The person credited with formally developing the town is Moses Langley Wicks, who in 1884 bought property from the railroad for $2.50 per acre, mapped out a town with streets and lots, and by September was advertising 160-acre tracts of land for $6 an acre. The following year, the Lancaster News started publication, making it the first weekly newspaper in the Antelope Valley. By 1890, Lancaster was bustling and booming, and thanks to adequate rainfall, farmers planted and sold thousands of acres of wheat and barley.

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug test screenings are organized into panels, indicating the number of substances tested. Common options include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, with custom panels available.

Understanding Drug Testing

A drug test comprises the technical analysis of a biological sample, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to detect specific drugs or their metabolites. These tests are crucial in sports for screening banned performance enhancers and are used by employers and legal agencies. BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) tests by breathalyzer are standard for alcohol detection, while urinalysis prevails in workplace and sports environments. Various testing methods offer different levels of accuracy, sensitivity, and detection periods. Drug tests might also involve quantitative chemical analyses for specific illegal substances.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Lead to a False Positive for Marijuana?

Inhalation of "passive" smoke from being near individuals smoking marijuana is typically invalid as a cause for a positive result. Lab cut-off levels are significantly higher than what passive inhalation would yield.

Other urine screen abnormalities might suggest false negatives or deliberate sample adulteration. For example:

  • A low creatinine level could indicate tampering, either by excessive water consumption before testing or adding water to the sample.
  • Creatinine levels, combined with specific gravity measurements, help identify diluted samples. Testing facilities may dye toilet water blue to prevent tampering with the sample.
  • Some individuals might attempt to alter urine stability by adding enzymes, which likely changes the pH and is checked by the lab.

Duration of Drug Presence in the Body

The detection window, or look-back period, for a drug test varies due to several factors. These include:

  • The drug’s dosage
  • Frequency of use
  • Type of drug
  • An individual's metabolism and health
  • Fluid intake post-drug ingestion
  • Exercise activity post-drug usage
  • Genetic variations affecting drug response

Local Area Info: Lancaster, California

Lancaster /?læn.kæst?r/ is a charter city in northern Los Angeles County, in the Antelope Valley of the western Mojave Desert in Southern California. As of 2013, Lancaster was the 31st largest city in California.
