kittenmittons Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Most employers have acceptable levels of THC, so this is probably all overkill. orly? so THAT'S how I got that job. it's perplexed me for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I know that you can get small traces of THC from 2nd hand smoke, so I'm sure a lot of employeers are just like "whatever". I don't think explaining it's from 2nd hand goes over well if they tell you you failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eriathomas Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Ha, that'd be a pretty funny excuse if it was true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 It's been explained to me that it is blatantly obvious if you've smoked as opposed to being around it 2nd hand. A lot of places just aren't very concerned unless your THC levels are crazy (i.e. you smoke non-stop). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 My place of employment randomly tests. I didn't get tested when I was hired(not that it would have mattered) but have been tested maybe 4 times in all the years I have worked there. It's very rare to be tested and I think it only happens when the toll free number is called and something is reported. Which is almost never. My understanding is that if you are randomly tested and you come back positive it doesn't mean you are out of a job. There are some sort of treatment classes or something you must take and there's a period of a year where they can call you anytime to go take a test and you have to go and pass in order to keep your job. I don't do too much but when I do I make sure it's during a period when I will have enough time to flush my body before I go back to work. I smoke pot a few times a year and I think because its so little it doesn't stick around in me that long. I say that because I smoked a bunch of times in late march. There were 3 or 4 days I smoked a bunch of times a day. I didn't do anything to flush my system and I didn't smoke at all after that. About a week and a half after I last smoked, I took an at home test and it came back negative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 For a lot of jobs they use the drug test as a scare tactic. They will only test like 10%, because it is too expensive to send every one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankmurphy Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 It's just weed. What's the big fucking deal bitches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opioqueers Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I once took a drug test (that I didn't know in advance was going to happen) three days after I had last smoked weed, and I somehow passed. I still don't know how that worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorbike Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 so, i finally got a call back and they told me to come in and fill out paperwork. that was last tuesday. when i got there they sprung another drug test on me and said the original was to diluted. luckily i had been riding my bike earlier that day and was killing a shit load of water so i played it off as just that, i drink a ton of water when i ride my bike. the new test came back diluted but since i had no idea i was taking another test they believe what i told them. i start work in forty-five minutes!
