If you smoke pot and apply for a job...

That requires a drug test...what do you do?
If you test positive for pot does it matter? Are they looking for other drugs?
Since alot of professionals seem to be doing it..how are they passing drug tests?

Now you can start smoking! Whoo hoo!
Don't smoke for a few days...?
I had to have a drug test before this job and before my law firm job.
My brother had to have a drug test before working at Michelin and the local putt putt golf place.

This was a serious question, y'all.
I don't know how long stuff like that stays in your system, ffs.
I'm pretty sure they quit a couple weeks before knowing they have a drug test then take up smoking again.
DH's old job used to do random drug tests, he was in construction, so they would literally watch you pee standing behind your truck or something. They test it right then and if it's positive they send it in for more testing to make sure.
A guy DH worked with went as far as drinking a gallon of water with a cap full of bleach in it! Crazy idiot!
well considering the fact that marijuana stays in your system for up to 40 days, not smoking a few days before won't do anything for you
I've heard of people bringing in a small container of someone else's pee and handing it over as if it were their own. I don't want to know how they get someone else's pee or how they transport it though.
Then again, I know a whole bunch of attorneys that smoke pot and very, very few attorney positions that require a drug test.
Where I work they drug test you. Bad credit, parking tickets, and several other things aren't acceptable either. I was drug tested to get the job, but don't do anything that would make it come back.
They are looking for any type of illegal substance (so your depression meds, anxiety meds, alcohol, etc...would be acceptable).
I know several very successful people who have very good jobs. They are smart enough to stop smoking pot when they are looking for jobs. Most professional companies don't do random drug test. They are far from the "Dazed and Confused" stereotype.
In Canada it is illegal to drug test most employees.
3 months for urine tests
6 months for blood tests
I think a hair sample is 7 years or something like that
I asked our SA counselor and she said that if you are a habitual user, daily for months, it will be in your system for weeks. Pot is the one drug that stays in your system because it adheres to fat cells. If they are a recreational user it would most likely be gone in time for the test. If it were to come back + then a GCMS would be ordered to check the levels.
Most drug tests look for opiates, cocaine, pot amph, meth and you can order special tests for alcohol and ecstacy.
Side note: drinking a lot of liquid before your test will give you a diluted which most take as a dirty.
I know way too much about this.
ex-bf actually peed for his at the time best friend since the kid needed a job desperately. But when his friend showed up at our door baked out of his mind, i stayed in the bedroom, so i have no clue what or how they did it. i was totally against it. and
I know lots of companies that don't even bother testing for pot, they only test for cocaine, crack, amphetamines and the like.
I guess it's not a hard enough drug for employers to worry about, if they drug test at all.
I worked in Management in Corporate Finance for 12 years in a variety of jobs. I had a drug test for every one of them. Most major employers require a drug test prior to hiring, it just isn't that hard not to smoke pot for a month or two when looking for a good job. All the consultants I know, except one who works for a Canadian company require drug test. You cannot be a consultant with some companies, like Coca-Cola with out having had a drug test prior to employment.
Drug test don't really help much, except to weed out the very worst, like meth users or severe cocaine addicts.
As for the using of others pee, I just don't see this as much of a solution, since you could not "sneek" pee into the drug test I have taken, even if you did, they have measures in place, like taking the temp of the urine as soon as you finish, that would prevent you from really making it work. You would have to get it to >95 degrees while in the bathroom.
what does smoking pot have to do with being mature?? do you drink ever?? what's the difference?
lol at OP.
My friend is a smoker (heavy), and had to take a drug test. He drank the cleanse (it was orange-flavored and gross looking) and it totally worked. He passed, and I didn't think he had a chance in hell.
This.
