Job

[CheifnBud2]

I cant find a job that dosent drug test.

Even the shitty $8-10 an hour jobs drug test, what a joke.

I asked an employer about MMJ, he said "you cannot fail the drug test and work here"

What are some good paying/ non-crap jobs that dont care if you have a little thc in your system?

Are there any companies out there that drug test, but ignore thc due to the fact its harmless and not nearly as intoxicating as alcohol?

Believe it or not, many security jobs don't test or don't care. Have had a couple that straight up don't test and another where I paid the fee for test/fingerprinting/etc. but never got tested and still got the job. Talking about doorman type security, in commercial buildings and bars.

I'm sure there's a bunch more out there but I don't know what they are. That's why it really pays to have a trade (something I need to get working on), so you can work for yourself. Buddy of mine is a plumber, pulls in around six figures a year and burns like there's no tomorrow. He's busy, but pretty much can take time off whenever he wants. Skilled trades are really where it's at, considering the amount of people with the skills are dwindling fast.

 

[gramsci.antonio]

in the US all the jobs are drug tested? isn't this against privacy?

 

[Orangecrush]

Chicalyx is right about trade skills. The service sector of our economy is one of the fastest growing right now. Aside from that you could always wait tables, but it seems like you are looking for something a little more like a 9-5 job.

Reagan Admin started it by making it mandatory for all govt jobs and it went from that to virtually all Fortune 5oo companies and on and on.
Not a privacy issue because you are not required to drug test. Nobody is making you apply for a job at a company who wants to test. Employers have the right to provide a drug free workplace. (Its not fair to us tokers cause we're smokin on our own time.)
Ive quit tokin 3 or 4 times in the last 30 years to pass pee tests, I guess it depends on how bad you want a job. Plus as we all know there are ways to beat the tests, well most of them. As a matter of fact I quit again yesterday, coincidentally, for this very reason. I slept like shit last night if I slept at all but in a week or so Ill be sleepin like a baby and in about 3 or 4 weeks I can apply for the job I want I hope its still available. This is especially hard as I have a room full of girls at day 62 12/12... Ill just have to try them with a cure I guess.

Yep, quite a few of them do. I think it's got a lot to do with their liability insurance. Bunch of bastards any way you look at it.

I worked for a fucker who would hand a cup across the table and tell you to piss on the spot - all the while he was stoned off his ass. That guy was a complete piece of shit.

Privacy doesn't mean anything in AmeriKa anymore. We don't have any. The cops can sniff around outside your house with a drug dog. They can kick in your door without a warrant and somehow the evidence still sticks. New court decision recently have led to this shit. Basically, if they illegally obtain evidence and it doesn't matter - they still got you. Bunch of butt raping bastards anyhow.

Agricultural work- really. Garden center, nursery, turf farm, food crop farm, the whole lineup. Unless the job requires a CDL, in which case the DOT will be bothering ya anyway

But if it's just a pre-employment screening, as is VERY common... you can do it man! Suffer a few weeks and enjoy a much better lifestyle later.

Oh! Go in through a temp agency... at the VERY least, you will know firsthand whether the company you temp with does random screenings or just PE.

Ive been smoking heavily for some time. If i quit today, i would have to wait over a month just to apply and take the test.

Quitting smoking is under my own choice, im not doing it just so i can get a shitty 10-15 buck an hour job.

If i wanted to quit smoking i would work for the goverment and get bennefits.

The super-ego most people operate under is subjective for me.

If i can drink a bottle of vodka and do a gram of coke 2 days before the drug test, but i cant smoke 3 weeks before it, i dont see the point in the fucking test.

I remember my old managers used to do coke go out to binge drink a couple days before their random tests and still pass. Yet another employee smoked a joint at a party 5 days before their test, and got fired.

Bull shit.

Ive been ultra THC saturated since the 70s. Ive never failed a drug test after 3 weeks off. Even if its 4 weeks its still worth doing to get a way to survive eh... plus it is an eye opener to quit and see the difference... clears the cobwebs.
But in your case, since you aint quittin, I would say get some clean urine or some of that stuff you drink before the test. They work. Part of the reason for myself quiting rather than using the cheat is so I can clear the cobwebs and part is to prove to myself I have the strength to decide to stop and follow through. Its not as bad as quitting cigs thats for sure. I quit them in 94 and havent looked back.
Good Luck.

i think if you blaze copious amounts then go cold turkey, your body will use up all the stored resources as it's so used to getting a constant supply of thc so just go for it. quit for like a week or two though.

 

[FarmerJoe]

Fake Piss.

Buddy at the smoke shop says he gets probably 50 people with fed, state, and county jobs looking to pass their drug tests each month. Its more of a nerves things than anything else. If you can stay sober enough to follow the directions and not crack under pressure of having the bottle taped to your leg, it WILL work.

REALLY irresponsible advice in a situation where someone's employment depends upon a clean urine sample.
Go read up on THC metabolism and drug testing before trying to say that 'a week or two' is ample time to clear out.

no there was some sort of tehcnique similar to this that works. maybe quitting then re-toking then quitting or something. i know the old 30 day thing but some people have a fast metabolsim and not much fat.

Drug tests inadvertently encourage the use of hard drugs or alcohol, since none of them remain in your system much beyond 24 hours. So just switch over to hard drugs, or just drink heavily, for a few weeks.

who needs a job

welfare since '88

still lovin it

i am typing from the library as we speak

 

[Wonderon]

Man, am I in the same boat as you...as I'm sure many others are too. Hard to find work, and when I do they want to test everywhere I go. I had a very good job all lined up but they popped the "Oh can you take a drug test tomorrow question on me" after I had already been interviewed and told I had the job. Needless to say I failed even with a cleansing drink which I expected since such short notice. So the next job opportunity I had, I smoked like a fish before I went to the test and laughed my ass off the whole time cause I was sure of passing that time LOL using my ninja tactics which I will continue to do so from now on. Most companies could care less as long as you do the job. Its the insurance agency that is covering the company who make the pee pee test a requirement.

Another important thing for you to note, if you ever get hurt on the job they can ask you to take a test. At that point if you fail the test then even if the accident wasn't your fault, your not going to be covered under insurance and you'll be on your own, thats the worst part of all this to me.

yup, i can attest to that
i water plants in greenhouses over the weekend and during the week i am the 'assisstant gardener' in a garden at my school

Man, where are the Unions in the states???

Yes but everybody should be able to access to every work, with the potentiality as the only limit.

In europe you could be also an heroin addict, but if you do the job, and don't give any problem, you could do everything you want. Except the cop or the judge.

I think your work legislation system is pretty undemocratic.

Oh we are far from a perfect democracy. It does seem as though Europe is much more progressive in this area. We have an element here of outdated thinking that started this whole mess back in the early 80s, the war in drugs.
This situation has never caused me to not get a job that I wanted because I always stop smoking well before I have to test. If you are suddenly terminated, it is smart to stop right then until you get through the system again. Inconvenient but not hard to overcome.
