Weed shouldn’t be tested for at all anywhere. I don’t care what career you have. You should be able to to whatever you want on your own time

Absolutely should be and we don't need our soldiers getting high. Other soldiers' lives depend on it. Have you never been high and felt stupid. It dumbs you way down. We don't need a attack helicopter pilot smoking pot before he works on someone's helicopter. These are serious jobs and there's no room for drug use.

[@jtmartin8445]

@@MrThe1234guy Absolutely should not be tested for period. Who cares about if someone smokes pot the day before they work on something. Here’s a FACT. Thousands of Americans use fake means to pass drug tests all over the place in multiple industries and guess what 99% of industrial accidents in the United States caused by people who have weed in their system is 0%. Even if people were under the influence of weed they would still take their time doing their job in a carful manner making sure everything is correct the first time. Humans make mistakes.

That includes the 60's, 70's, and 80's with long haul trucking, not a big deal. Yet, the piss test "industry" made it a big deal and made big money, while destroying careers.

Im currently waiting for my potential employer get the results back right now. I followed your certo method and followed it step by step of your video. I urinated 2-3 times before the test they were all clear so I took a tablet of vitamin B an hour before to make it more yellow. At the time of the test it was a very light yellow I would even say a little florecent green idk if it was the cup they made me put the sample in. How long does the resultes take to get back? Took the test Friday before closing time and Monday was Memorial Day its Wednesday now.

Kick everyone out and feel like they’ve done the wise and honorable thing. After 19.5 years I never want to hear the military talk about integrity and honor ever again. After the Covid purge, the blind loyalty to foreign agendas, the afghan poppy fields, the drive to ever lasting war, what grounds does anyone in the government have to judge a single person? Anyone who’s been in knows that alcoholism and cocaine run rampant, but they’ll never be able to catch them. I love my Country, hell I love the Army, but quadrupling down on dumb is still dumb.

[@dpscott000]

So from what I read once saliva testing is an employer option, oral testing is required for transgender or nonbinary individuals. Here's the clip of information: " The US Department of Transportation's (DOT) final rule on oral fluid drug testing for commercially licensed drivers went into effect on June 1, 2023. The rule allows employers to choose between urine or oral fluid tests, but oral fluid testing is required for transgender or nonbinary individuals. However, oral fluid testing cannot begin until the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) certifies at least two laboratories to perform saliva screening. As of May 4, 2023, no labs had received HHS certification." You know I'm definitely nonbinary then. 😂
