Job Interviews and Drug Testing

I know every job is different, but I know you need to be hired before they can test you, so my question is in your own experiences how long was the period of time between the interview process and the actual drug testing? If I do get this interview I think they will be drawing blood to check for illicit substances...this is advantageous to urine testing because they arent looking for metabolites correct?

When I started working at Walmart (after 2 interviews and a short meeting to establish pay rate etc) I had to wait 3 or 4 days for the background check to come in then a drug test was scheduled 2 days later, I think it was.
But this varies from company to company and probably even location to location. Best bet is to just be clean during the process...

Could be anything from days to months I suppose(at least in here)
The last place I worked at, had a testing policy, but they just said "take the test later, we'll let you know when&where to go to take it.", I never took the test and no one asked for it ever since
There were other employees there, who said that they didn't take the test either

I've had many that they test me before hire. That's mostly how it goes, piss before signing the paperwork.

I always find it so crazy hearing how widespread employment drug testing is in the US, here it's essentially unheard of. It always makes me wonder how long it's been standard to expect it at most jobs. 10 years? 20 years? More than that?

I think it started mostly in the late 80's when Nancy Reagan was really stepping up the "war on drugs"

Yeah that's what my pops always said it started with Reagan. It's pretty standard here for almost any job. Bunch of fucking bullshit. And if you aren't getting tested thru the hiring process, you can bet they got a little clause in their papers that they can test you whenever they want for whatever they want. We the corporations that run this great country reserve the right to take your piss, to take your hair, take your blood, anything that will go towards our betterment of the American working class. Hail Corporate!

It's actually illegal to drug test in Canada for most positions.

Yeah they generally need a very good reason from what I understand, like when there is evidence that a particular person has a drug problem AND there is a significant safety risk associated with them being impaired at work. I have heard of some companies getting away with more indiscriminate testing in Alberta though.

i think it should be automatic jail time if you fail any sort of drug test. that would make you think twice about smoking the dope.

I think everyone who isn't stoned right now should be killed. That would make you think twice about not smoking the dope.

ive always wanted to set up a random job interview that i know will drug test on the spot. it will be after a nice drugged out weekend.
ive also wanted to bomb an interview on purpose. go in drunk and be as rude and retarded as possible.
