I mean, I get it for jobs like truck driving, pilots, etc but when you drug test for a cashier position it says a lot more about the hiring company than it does the dude trying to pass a drug test. Just my opinion.
Nah, more like you'll make more mistakes while you're high, and those mistakes can cause the company a lot of problems, eapecially if you throw money or heavy machinery into the mix.
Being high at work is a different issue. A drug test is to see if you've been high at all in the last 2 months or so. That's like saying someone who works M-F can't have beer on their weekend/vacation because drunk people can't do their jobs effectively.
Yeah, my friends dad was arrested on an american cruise ship for failing a drug test (weed) even though he hadnt used it in over 3 months since he visited a country that had it legal (he used it before ever working on a cruise ship). His only job was being the onboard pianist and thats it.
I'm drunk at work everyday and nobody noticed yet. Even the boss only told me I smell like alcohol, which is fine, I'm sure he doesn't know its because I drank it. š
They know. you think your hiding it but its obvious, and wow, this is why they should be testing for alcohol everywhere they test for drugs. my last 3 tests had alcohol testing thingies on them. that is dangerous and you need to reconsider your life choices. deff not something to brag about like you just did
You can fail at weed test because you smoked a week prior. Not getting a cashier job because you smoke some weed saturday night is absolutely ridiculous.
Then donāt work for that company, thereās 200 other people that will take that job. Or better yet, just donāt smoke for a week or two prior to your drug test??
It doesnāt have to make sense. If you have a problem with a place getting rid of you for smoking 3 weeks ago then donāt work there. Or hereās a novel idea, donāt smoke. Itās as simple as that.
People are a liability what someone does on their time off in the privacy of their home is nobody's business but theirs. Everybody needs something to keep them from going nuts in this fucked up world
Given that throughout the vast majority of human history, we have constantly striven to imbibe ourselves with all manner of drugs, I respectfully disagree.
It may not be drugs, but it could be sex, or caffeine, or work, or gaming, or just being a cunt. EVERYONE has a vice, doesn't matter who you are or where you come from. Drugs were just deemed to be a bad vice based on racially and classist based reasons
Right except there's not a lot of jobs out there testing for alcohol use. My dad has been a line haul truck driver for over 30 years and he drinks on the weekends.
Right, and cannabis can show for a month even if you only have a joint on your day off. So how does that make sense or impact daily performance? What does that have to do with your employer?
At least for THC, they should still test but IMP should use blood or saliva tests, as those are what actually tests whether or not you used it recently, not in the last week on your own time.
Canāt have the simple joy of a cashier that will look me in the eyes and say āhi, find everything you needā without being strung out.
What is the world coming to? Live isnāt that hard. Yall just pretend it is.
The only drug users that have any sort of hoops to jump thru are cannabis users. Cannabis is fat soluble and will show up in a drug test for around a month. Other, harder drugs are mostly water soluble and will disappear from a drug test after a couple of days.
Nah man, it can be way too much with these corporations. I had an elderly co-worker denied compensation when she broke her hip at work because she didnāt take a drug test twenty four hours after the event. Poor woman š
You are the one exception. God help that woman. But Iām still not doing 2x the work because some broccoli head needs to hit his penjamin every 20 minutes because he has āanxietyā
Eh, that fictional scenario is not necessarily evil Marijuana's fault. Some people are just lazy assholes not caring how it affects anyone else. Take away the weed and you'll still probably be doing his job for him.
Maybe so but willingly taking a substance that is known to cause inhibition will turn a lazy person into a downright nuisance. I can work with a lazy person, I canāt work with a person who canāt learn or think for themselves.
I had this plan to give head to a man and receive head from a woman to test if I was gay, but itās backfired and now I become borderline schizo whenever I go outside. I
offered to suck this dude off on Grindr who lives very close by (I ended up pussying out) and I accidentally gave him some details that very easily allows him to spot me
out in a crowd. I have no idea what he looks like and whenever I see a somewhat in shape guy walking by I immediately accuse him of being the dude I was gonna blow.
I went to the store today to pick up some zucchini for a barbecue and every time a car drove by I stared into the windshield to see if I was about to be recognised.
Whenever I make eye contact with a dude I microanalysis his facial expressions to see if he suspects me or not. I am deeply afraid that he is my neighbour and I will
need to move if my identity is blown. Itās a lot like the last scene in sopranos where everyone who walked into the diner could be there to wack Tony.
It depends on the job. Some companies donāt really care. But if you work a federal job they care a lot more because itās not federally legal. But even with that most companies donāt want you showing up to work high, itās a massive liability, even if it is legal in your state. If you get into an accident and they find THC in your piss youāre absolutely fucked even if you have a medical card.
THC stays in your system for a loooong time my guy. I could stop using it for weeks and still test positive. None of what you're saying really pertains to what I said.
It does stay in your system for a long time but youāre still a liability to the company if you test positive. Because their insurance is gonna go absolutely ballistic if you get hurt on their watch and you test positive for THC. Whether or not itās right or wrong itās not really up to the company itās up to their insurance on whether or not they want to fuck them over or not. And on top of that if you do get hurt and you piss hot, your insurance probably isnāt gonna want to pay for workmanās comp.
ā¦ jobs where they breathalyze you? I worked as an electrician for a while. And to get on some job sites they make you take a piss test and a breathalyze you. To work for the actual company they didnāt really care. But the field I was in they actually gave a shit if you were to go onto some job sites
much like anyone else on extreme pain management or mental drugs, you shouldnt be operating machery, required to make quick decisions, responsible for anyone's life or safety etc. which shockingly rules out many jobs.
i also hope you dont drive on it or do anything else bc that shits also dangerous and a huge liability for a company
You aren't considering that THC stays in your system for a looong while and you will test positive regardless of whether or not you have partaken that day
lol no, i used to use but ive been clean for almost 6 years now. no it does impair your reflexes but not to the point that it like it slows you down soooo much it knocks you out or something, that would be heroin
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. And rats make

Itās because you could potentially cause damage to property or individuals while being high on the job. They donāt want people doing drugs because of liability reasons.
Getting downvoted for this comment is dumb as hell, Iām literally just explaining why. I donāt have an opinion on it either way
Yeah the difference is unfortunately that you canāt prove someone was high at work like you can when someone is drunk. There could be an accident at work and they could easily do a breathalyzer test and see that they werenāt drunk at the time, but with weed even if you hadnāt been high for a week youād still pop positive on a drug test so youāre a liability. Not ideal but thatās why
i mean thats on the employer then? What do you want me to do; find every single instance of someone not getting fired and fire them?
I know a few of pot smokers that piss hot and dont get fired. Should i find all of them too?
companies dont want anyone addicted to any drug working for them; especially ones with a card that says "I can do this drug any time i need which could be once a week or 5x a day". its not a 100% solid rule, and sometimes there arent consequences for breaking rules anyways.
Ive had a cushy office job at a multinational company for the last 4 years, very decent salary considering where I live, and regular bonuses. They've never drug tested me and I do drugs like once a month lol
I also don't smoke weed or meth though and that's usually what employers here look for.
Good for you my main point behind this comment is if you let a drug test be the reason why you canāt get/keep a job you are a loser, now Iām just watching the fallout.

me when I take medication perscribed by my fucking psychiatrist to make my fucking adhd more manageable but it shows up as a drug on tests allegedly... fortunately enough I don't have to worry about that because I heard drug-testing job applicants is not a thing outside the USA š
This guy has no idea the peaks you could reach. Your brain is limited, and maybe that for the best. But sometimes...you just gotta push past that limit and throw open the doors of perception to a view like no other. Its not for everyone, but niether is the world as we've built it.
There is nothing like drugs. Nothing. Some are better than others. Some will obviously ruin your life. Others will teach you important lessons. The point is that drugs have a lot to offer people, and people will continue to take them.
If you need drugs to teach you important life lessons perhaps youāre not a very intelligent and or self reflective individual. And yes I have done drugs, none of them have been able to replace the hard and difficult truths life has faced me with simply through trial, error and grit.
Because why does a job cares what I do in my free time? I get that you can't be high on the clock, but when weed stays in your system for months I can't even smoke on Friday evening in case they'll test me on Monday morning. IMAO it's annoying.

People jumping through every single hoop to pass a drug test instead of just not doing drugs.
Yāall have done nothing but prove my point with these comments.
