Failed drug test

So what to do next? I got hit with a random drug test with the company I had been with for 6 years. I'm not necessarily that upset with losing the job because I hate it. I need to figure out a way to get some money coming in pretty quickly and the job market is tough, to say the least. I do find some happiness in the fact that they will now have to figure out exactly what I did there without me telling them. They have no idea the connections that I had made over the past few years there and just how much I get done there. So FUCK EM'. But where do I go from here? Anyone have any experience closing out a 401K? Will I be able to collect unemployment(I really doubt it)?
I should say that I actually haven't been fired yet and am struggling with whether to go to work on Monday or just let it go. I smoke weed. That does not embarrass me in anyway. All these assholes drink and smoke cigarettes and they are fine but I smoke weed and I am the worst kind of person. I could really drop the bomb on Monday and let them know just how much of that office smokes weed but that would be spiteful and I'm not that kind of person.
I'm not sure if anyone will actually read through this rambling mess. The truth is, don't really care if anyone does or not. I just needed to vent some frustration and bowling earlier tonight did not do the trick. I bowled pretty well, in case you were wondering.
Peace
Go smoke some weed

sorry you lost your job bro, but if you hated it now you can find one you like.

I have not confessed to anything yet, there was no one there to confess too. The fucked up part is that I get weed for the owners son.
I would love to find another job, I just don't know how easy that will be. I guess I will find out soon.
That's fucked up 1d10t3k...

You'll be OK. Jobs that do random drug screenings suck anyway.

It's stupid they test for thc. They should take it off the drug tests. Create a new test that can detect alcohol and nicotine for 30 days. Think about how many of the folks in your office would fail that test.

That's sort of an asinine argument to try to make.

THC causes no physiological harm to the body. Tobacco causes emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease. Alcohol harms the brain and liver. If things were managed properly, tobacco and alcohol would be illegal. Cannabis would be legal and BeanBurner wouldn't have to worry this bs.

You can't really compare THC to tobacco.
Alcohol is healthy in moderation. You're just as bad as the prohibitionists who want to limit our personal freedoms by keeping pot illegal - you'd have it so I couldn't enjoy a glass of fine wine or spirits, or beer for that matter after I smoked my pot, or perhaps a good cigar.
Grow up and learn how to see the world outside the narrow scope of your biased and obviously uninformed point of view.

It would be best to have all drugs legal. The smart ones would avoid substances that are destructive. It should be one's choice if one wants to shot heroine, snort coke, or free base meth. I would not recommend it though. I am open minded enough to know that the government doesn't work for us. They don't want us to discuss or argue their laws.

The fact is, marijuana is illegal, and I get annoyed when all the pro-legalization bitches do nothing but just that, bitch. Are you too dumb to figure out how to get a hold of marijuana and make it fit in your lifestyle? It's not hard to grow, hell, not hard to find. Besides, if you're incapable of these things, maybe you shouldn't be smoking pot? I mean, the laws are unfair and all, but not hard to bypass...
To the op, BULLSHIT MAN! This is what pisses me off about drug tests. It doesn't matter how valuable you are to the company, or how good of a person you are. All they care about is what they can find in your piss. Sorry man... Myk

i dont like your name because its racist. how would you like it if i called myself crackerburner?
also in all seriousness, i think idiotek is absolutely right in his posts, but back to what you have going here, you should go into work monday.
what is it you do anyway? was there pre employment drug test? was it a total shock?
I have worked a ton of office jobs and it never even comes up, Sams club tested me, which i simply faked (synthetic urine rules, never have to worry about anything) and found a better job almost right away, it was cool to at least get paid by them and then ditch their ass.
and places that do drug test are a joke. my friend had to do it for a call center, he hates his job but it pays well. i think most employers realize its a waste of time and money. he just cheated on his anyway.
So this is an office? did they have it out for you? please give more details.
also file unemployment. then if they appeal, get on the phone. always always always file for unemployment no matter what.

sounds like its just used to harass people or give an excuse to fire. in Colorado you can fire people for any reason or no reason, but i guess if they did it here or other states with At Will employment it would be to avoid unemployment costs.
i dont know if At Will Employment laws actually benefit employees who just want to up and quit, i cant see why they would unless an employer could actually sue someone for being like "fuck this, im out"
