In 1891, the railroad moved its headquarters to Bakersfield, decimating the community. Although the railroad was gone, the community of Tulare struggled to become an agricultural center for California, which it is today. Due to the inadequate 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall per year, water resources had to be found. In order to bring water to Tulare, citizens established the Tulare Irrigation District and issued $500,000 in bonds to build an extensive canal system carrying water from the Sierra Nevada. In 1903, when the bonds were paid off early, they celebrated by having a bond-burning celebration. Once the water system was established, Tulare burgeoned, becoming a center for farming and agriculture because of its central location.

Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test conducts a technical examination of a biological sample, like urine, hair, blood, or saliva, to detect the presence or remnants of drugs. It's widely used for screening steroids in sports or unlawful substances by employers and law enforcement. BAC, measured through breath analyzers, assesses alcohol concentrations. Urinalysis predominates in sports and workplace drug testing. Numerous approaches exist, varying in precision and detection length.

Does Passive Inhalation Result in a False Positive for Marijuana?

"Passive" inhalation, such as being in the presence of marijuana smoke, does not typically cause a false positive, as lab test thresholds are higher than exposure through mere proximity.

Other irregularities in urine may signal a false negative or sample adulteration, such as:

  • Low creatinine levels may suggest tampering, either through excessive water intake or sample dilution.
  • Creatinine and specific gravity readings help identify diluted samples. To prevent tampering, testing facilities may color toilet water.
  • Adding certain enzymes affects sample stability, detectable through pH testing.

Drug Detection Timelines

How long drugs remain detectable varies based on factors such as dosage, usage frequency, drug type, metabolism, overall health, fluid intake, and exercise.

Local Area Info: Tulare, California

Tulare is located in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, eight miles south of Visalia and sixty miles north of Bakersfield. The city is named for the currently dry Tulare Lake, once the largest freshwater lake west of the Great Lakes. The city's mission statement is: "To promote a quality of life making Tulare the most desirable community in which to live, learn, play, work, worship and prosper." The Stockton seaport is 170 miles (270 km) away, and the Sacramento port is 207 miles (333 km) away. The Los Angeles and San Francisco ports are each approximately 200 miles (320 km) away, making Tulare a hub or central location for product movement.

The English name Tulare derives ultimately from Classical Nahuatl t?llin, "sedge" or "reeds", by way of Spanish tule, which also exists in English as a loanword. The name is cognate with Tula, Tultepec, and Tultitlán de Mariano Escobedo.

The Yokuts people built reed boats and fished in what was later to be called Tulare Lake in their homeland for centuries, until the invasion and settlement by the Spanish and American pioneers. When California became a state in 1850, Tulare did not yet exist as a town. Tulare was founded in 1872, by the Southern Pacific Railroad. The town was named for Lake Tulare. The lake had been named for the tule rush plant (Schoenoplectus acutus) (pictured left), a species of bulrush that predominantly lined the marshes and sloughs of its shore.
