Another Drug Test MegaThread. Now with a handy quick reference guide.
Hey guys, its been about 4 months since our last Drug Test thread. We've been getting a fair amount of drug test threads on the board lately, so I figure its time for another one.
Questions worth discussing:
-
Do you live in a legal state? How does your employer handle employees who test positive for marijuana, and which legal state are you in?
-
All other ents, how does your employer handle those who test positive for pot?
-
What are the drug testing procedures in your workplace? Monthly? Annual tests? Only when hired?
-
What is your opinion of doing a detox? Is it effective?
Do you have a question you want answered? Feel free to post it in the comment section below.

###FAQ Q: I exercise, will I pass my piss test tomorrow? I stopped smoking a week ago.
A: Almost certainly not. But it depends on your diet, the amount you smoke, your body fat %, and what "exercise" consists of.
Q: Should I get fake pee?
A: How confident are you that you'll pass? If there's any doubt, and you aren't being watched while you pee, then go for it, especially if your job is on the line.
Q: Why did you make a FAQ if you could only come up with 2 questions?
A: I am not a smart man...
