Detox and drug tests ;o

[LinktheDeme]

Well I was wondering how this shit works as its my first time.

I bought this drink that i'm supposed to drink 3 hours before the test more or less and i'm wondering what are the side effects.

He said that after 7 hours it'll stop the process or whatever and it'll show up after that.

I just got an interview and i'm not sure if they drug test is there some sort of like warning or whatnot if they drug test?

Mainly concerned about what short term and long term side effects from taking it and if i'll feel like shit or just be on the toliet all day afterwards shitting and pissing

You could try not smoking pot while looking for a job. Seems to work for most people.

There was an entire 2-3 page thread about this... search it!

Pretty much this.. lol.

Drug testing is expensive as hell and very few companies outside of government jobs actually follow through. It was part of my hospital job's policy to do a random drug screening bi-monthly but it never happened. I took 1 piss test out of the 2.5 years I worked there and that was never even processed.

Heh, my sister got busted for an underage last week. They then searched the car and found coke, then searched each person in the car and she had methadone on her (not sure why), but they said they would probably drop the underage and the felony charges for the coke/methadone if she tested negative for both. She did (I'm assuming after copious amounts of water), but be careful of taking any detox drinks because there may be adulterants that will show up in the test.

sounds like your sister is a champ.

I heard large amounts of semen acts like a detox.

Specifically, you should do your research and find the adulterants which are currently effective, and utilize those. Most commercial detox drinks are worthless.

I swear this is like the 5th time I've seen this topic. We need a sticky that says something along the lines of: "If you have a job that does drug testing, don't do drugs!"

Same is said for if you are looking for a job.

Or, perhaps, work to eliminate marijuana-related drug testing, which can prevent you from getting employment when you're legally taking that substance. It's also a hypocritical practice, considering that no employer cares if you drink booze during your off hours, and so on.

This would require being politically active and educated in regards to the subject, which certainly wouldn't hurt anyone.

I'd go for that, but make it required for jobs that require heavy lifting, driving, or operating machinery. My job was taking in ex-cons, alcoholics and drug addicts from a temp agency at one time. Accidents jumped to ~32% from it's 17 year streak of 0.3%.

That isn't any better, considering how long THC can remain in your system, even if you smoke it responsibly. Someone who hasn't smoked marijuana for anywhere from a week to a full month can still show up positive. Additionally, people who use it the night prior to work, sleep, and smoke absolutely nothing the next morning will test positive as well -- even though it would have no effect whatsoever on their work performance.

Alcohol isn't the same. It's in, and shortly thereafter, it's gone.

If someone is irresponsible, the entirety of responsible society should not be grouped in with them. This guilty by association business is part of the stigma which retards efforts to legalize marijuana.

I'm all for the legalization of marijuana, but I know that there's going to be retards that are going to fuck it up for the responsible ones. Wasn't the whole purpose of drug screening supposed to be about drug users being more suspect to theft and other crimes? Its seemed to be misinterpreted through the years so the whole reasoning is pretty vague.
My point is that if I still smoked, I'd be responsible to not smoke at work and in the privacy of my own home but does that mean everyone is going to abide by that? People drink and drive, and they'd probably smoke and drive more if it were legal.

It must be so fucking hard to just not smoke weed. I swear.

Yes, we need more people marching to the White House to protest drug testing for employment because they refuse to (usually temporarily) stop doing some fucking drugs. Jesus.

Considering that you're pro-legalization, I find it unfortunate that you're using some of the arguments which are heavily relied on by people who are against it. People are going to be irresponsible, that's true. I agree. However, we can't live lives of walking on eggshells. If we did, wouldn't alcohol be illegalized?

I'm not calling for that, but rather, equal treatment. If someone steps into work at a dangerous job drunk, send them home or fire them. Likewise, if someone comes to a risky job and they're clearly high as a kite, get rid of them. Neither deserves sympathy, but why does the former have a greater chance of getting a job than the latter? The system's unfairness is not beneficial.

Instead of simply trolling these topics whenever they come up, you could read through the myriad links I've provided which aim to educate people on the subject. Aside from that, there's the aforementioned matter of THC staying in the system for an incredibly long time, which has nothing to do with irresponsibility, particularly if the user is legal.

Drug testing still prevents people who are legal medical users from obtaining jobs, even though they are not doing anything that is against the law. Though the numbers are about even, many of these people suffer from pain or other problems that are only mitigated through marijuana use, and you would expect them to stop? Not possible.

If you are against recreational marijuana usage, it is still worthwhile to protest the hypocrisy that exists in drug testing practices.
