[@Nick-ws3vv]

Why do these people think that if you use a drug once you automatically have a “substance abuse problem”? Just because someone smokes weed every other weekend or something does not mean they have a problem with substance abuse. Plus even if they did, weed is relatively harmless and as long as you are totally sober at work there should be no reason to drug test you. Especially not when these tests can see drug use from literally months ago! Go forbid you smoke a bowl 3 months ago, but if you show up to work hungover every day after getting completely wasted every night hey it’s no problem!

we’re living in a country where a majority of our states are legalizing marijuana… So when it comes to testing for weed, I think companies need to grow up… I mean this is getting ridiculous… When it comes to real drugs, like methamphetamine or crack… Those substances appear to pass through the system so fast that drug testing seems pointless for those things… Half the time when people are really actually drug addicts you can usually tell visually

[@elroco4827]

My job gives you a chance to get it right. A co-worker once failed a drug test at my job and he told them that he was depressed and going through a lot. So they sent him to some kind of class or help and he eventually passed the second drug test. They should not be testing for marijuana no way.

This is sad honestly. Someone who’s probably going through struggles of addiction being denied the ability to make a living because they failed a pre-employment drug test even tho they are more than capable of doing the job.

During training, are urine specimen collector students subjected to this procedure? Do they realize how completely demeaning this is?.. I find the drug war to be far more offensive than drug use, and I support the legalization of recreational use (not abuse) of cannabis.

Attentiand with a 100%. Certainly I have no desire for it. I don't know why anyone would. And this is. Something that should not have happened. I didn't consume nor did I want you at any time. And you also got to talk about transfer. I something is stupid as a door handle can be a reason. But it definitely should not be a one and done deal. If all other tests were Negative. Question should be, were you around somebody that somebody put something in his drink? That does these things. Because those questions should be asked as well. Because I know what it's like to be accused of something that you didn't do. That somehow got in your system without consuming it. I am one of those persons that. Wanted to know how because because it did not make any sense. And some people have bad living situations like I did it nightmarish And the whole reason being at add a truck and companies to hopefully move, get out of the place you're in. Not much to ask. And it would be easy if I had the money to afford to not be around them.. But if you don't have any money your stuck. And how is that fair.

If you ever drank alcohol once or on the weekends, did any drug in your life, you are not qualified to make a determination on somebody else life on their off time. particularly if no proof of substantial risk. I think you need sap, so you can be judged , and your lively hood is reduced to the minimum. Perhaps a store cashier clerk. After all you did abuse alcohol one time.
