Unhealthy people, it can take longer. The issue is these tests should be about are you coming to work high, not do use use weed outside of work.

As a teenager, I was required to pass a drug test for employment at a car sales lot. A month into the job, while cleaning one of the cars, I stumbled upon a rolled-up hundred-dollar bill, a small mirror, a razor blade, and a bag of white powder. That afternoon, the boss inquired if I had discovered anything odd in his car. To clarify, the car was company property. It struck me as ironic that the minimum wage employee had to undergo drug testing, while the boss seemingly indulged in narcotics while using company resources.

@heyaisdabomb 19 дней назад

Most people, including business owners, are not these "smart" people. It's a screening method to weed people out, but someone who smokes weed isn't implicitly a bad employee, and vice versa. There's a big law gap, but thank our education system for that.

@thedeceptivekhan 20 дней назад

In the state of California it is now illegal for a prospective employer to ask a potential employee about Marijuana use. It is also illegal for them to require a Drug Metabolite Test for employment save for a few exceptions (Doctors, Heavy Machinery Operators, Etc.). Hopefully this becomes the norm in all Legal states.

@stevengillespie6444 19 дней назад

@thedeceptivekhan 19 дней назад

As of January 1, 2024, CA A.B. 2188 eliminates urine and hair testing as options for most employers since they detect “non-psychoactive THC metabolites” that indicate past use. Unless you're applying for a job as a Federal Employee, a surgeon, a construction worker, or to be in law enforcement, an employer cannot use a drug test to discriminate against you for employment in Ca.

The problem is marijuana stays in your system for 30 days or more you could do it on vacation and take a test 3 weeks later and it'll be positive and that shouldn't affect your job I could see if you were high on the job but they don't have a test for that yet just like alcohol you're allowed to drink but you're not allowed to drink while you're working

How drug testing NOT a violation of one’s Civil Rights? Excepting pilots, bus drivers, train engineers, cops (who needs a drugged up cop w/a gun,they’re bad enough when sober) and jobs where you hold people’s lives in your hands, no one should be forced into drug testing for a job unless there’s reason (like smelling to high heaven of alcohol, for example.) What or what isn’t in my, or anyone else’s system is absolutely none of the employers business. My psych meds would flag me and then they’d need a note from my psychiatrist. This was for a minimum wage job at Home Depot about 10 years ago. Told them that was absolutely none of their business and invasive.

These women saying not operating heavy machinery. When your done your job of operating heavy machinery, you can smoke as much as you want. Then go back to work the next day. So, you need to do you jobs correctly and say things correctly as news broadcasters and pay attention to detail. When you're saying that, you're implying someone is smoking and then going and operating heavy machinery. Most people if they do smoke, smoke when they go home after work at some point.

@Couchflyer-NY 20 дней назад

Can’t help view this with skepticism. Maybe I should check Quest’s stock prices. Recently, several of my friends have applied for jobs expecting to be tested. They weren’t. Also, I’m in a recreational state. Cannabis won’t keep you from a boring, mundane and meaningless job.

@N0B0DY_SP3C14L 19 дней назад

Rather than spending more money on more modernized testing, which ultimately reduces workers' wages, why don't companies and their insurers relax these company-wide blanket policies, and save the test requirements for critical applications? For example, people whose decisions affect the lives of millions of others every day, like members of congress, or supreme court justices, presidents, etc.? Remember, "The State" is also a corporation. Food for thought.
