Anonymous Coward User ID: 80059494 United States 03/06/2021 08:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Folks I have a friend who had a job offer taken away due to a level of 21 ng/ml for Pot/THC. Most companies use 50 ng/ml as the cutoff but he is told this company uses 20 ng/ml. Quoting: Jim at the Path Across He has not smoked for three months but has a roommate who does and this can result in a level of 20 ng/ml/ Something seems wrong here. He needs advice. Could there be something else at play here or does this make sense to you? TIA. Generally the cutoff is 50, however any company can decide that any amount is disqualifying. He should just say he uses CBD products. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80094508 United States 03/06/2021 08:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I recall listening to a Joe Rogan episode after I had recently started a job and failed a test. The job let me continue working, but told me I'd have to be tested again in the future to ensure I was good. Everyone was completely miserable at this place. In the episode, Joe talked about how he would refuse a job that tested him over something like that. I felt he was making valid points. I decided the job wasn't for me, and called them up to let them know. That shifted my career into an entirely different direction, and now I'm doing what I feel I was meant to do. You never know, this may be a divine intervention or message from the universe. What it truly means will be up to them to decide. |

User ID: 79980245 Canada 03/06/2021 08:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tell your friend to stop smoking pot and stop living with pot smokers if he wants to be able to get a job. No serious employer wants to hire a pothead. Quoting: Red Hot Chilean Pepe Pot like alcohol is used in moderation. Alcoholics are far worse in all behaviors. Furthermore if it is legal to buy in your state it is difficult to say that it is illegal for work. Ask Canada. We know. It is legal federally and provincially. You cannot smoke at work unless it is a prescription. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79637073 Canada 03/06/2021 09:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Funny how it's all legal on a federal level but the companies blatantly ignore this as the average joe lacks the funds to make a precedent ruling.... sad to say just avoid these companies as customers and don't apply to work for them. Hit them where it hurts. Get a few of your colored friends to claim its racist to test for pot. Government is running into that issue now because nobody wants to work for pittance or where they can't smoke weed. This was already like this before decriminalization.fuck them. Into the 21rst by force if necessary |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78155265 Canada 03/06/2021 10:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The recreational use of cannabis is legal in 14 states and another 16 states have decriminalized its use. Why the fuck are employers still testing for this? I don't see a test for skateboarding or mountain biking or or being a fat fuck or being a drunk, you know the shit that actually ends up causing insurance burdens. Megalomaniacal, stupid, greedy, voyeuristic U.S. businesses, go fuck yourselves silly. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80115441 United States 03/06/2021 11:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Employers who do drug testing are racist. The rapper Snoop Dog has inspired many black people to enjoy smoking a little marijuana to relax and be happy. So employers who drug test are specifically targeting blacks. Worth repeating: Employer drug testing is RACIST!! |

User ID: 48692539 United States 03/06/2021 10:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | An employer can set the level where they want, there is now “law” or “standard”. Look for something else, Walmart or McDonald’s maybe. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41173011 50ng is the cutoff. The employer cannot set the level where they want. The manufacturer of the testing procedure sets the cut off. I am unfamiliar with any procedure that can read < 50. Most read pos or neg and do not quantify. Not sure about gas/liquid chromatography. I need more details on ths testing methodology. |

User ID: 48692539 United States 03/06/2021 10:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It only takes 20 days to piss clean. Your friend is an idiot and a liar Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79802311 I am leaning this way as well. I would like to state how unfair testing for THC is. Most serious drugs (cocaine, meth, opiates) take 24 to 72 hours to clear the body. It takes at least 14 days to clear smoking 1 tiny cigarette of pot from the body. The test does not indict that someone is high only that they have used pot in the past 2+ weeks. Say some novice tried pot one time, didn't like it, decided not to do it again and took a test for a job within 2 to 3 weeks not knowing they would still test pos and failed the drug test. One article states there are almost as many pot smokers as tobacco smokers. 33 to 55 million in the States. |

Your friend is an idiot and a liar Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79802311 I once bought several of those drug piss test kits at Target. It took 3 months to test completely clean. I smoked the super potent weed from a dispensary. I live in a legal state. I only smoked 1/2 joint a day for 3 months and developed DPDR, I felt like I was on an acid trip mixed with severe paranoia for 4 months. It eventually went away. I miss it, but don't want to risk getting DPDR again. I couldn't work or drive a car for 4 months. |
