my boss is a dick

So I got this job through a temp agency several months ago...
Started as quality control and worked my way up to an operators position...
I'm a huge pothead and its no secret. I don't try to hide it, I'm proud of it mostly....
So couple months ago I was offered a permanent position with the company, stopped smoking so I could pass a pre-employment dug test....
Clean and sober now for six weeks and my boss won't give me a drug test....
He doesn't believe I quit and keeps asking me if I'm high when I mention getting hired....
I enjoy my job but its awefully frustrating... I love smoking weed... love it... and I quit for this douchebag....
I don't know if I should start smoking again or just hold out.... I don't mind not smoking but if I'm not gonna get the job cause this asshole won't test me I'm thinking about finding a new job or just start smoking again....
I'm fucking torn and its getting me kinda depressed....
I'm not really looking for advice... I have to make my own decisions. .. just venting I guess....
Anyway comment if you like I'm gonna continue being torn for a while until I snap and quit my job (not likely) or go buy a fat sac (most likely)
-------------------- Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you!

If you're clean and want to prove it to him, maybe suggest that you will submit to an observed test. He could be slightly worried that you will fake the test, but that should be no issue if he knows that it's your pee.
Even if he doesn't want to do that, it will show a lot of confidence on your part, which I think is something that you really need to exhibit. IMO your boss shouldn't have known about that habit in the first place.

Agreed... I shouldn't have been using at work in the first place.... hindsight and all that....
We've had discussions on the subject... he was pretty cool about it... never hassled me about being high and admitted to being a bit of a stoner in his youth...
I was trained for my current position while high pretty much the whole time... since I've quit I've been ramping up my effort and going the extra mile so to say... I don't know its just shitty not being taken seriously when I'm trying hard to prove myself....
As for the monitored test I'm not sure how I'd go about that... he already joked about me faking it which I'd never do... was on probation a while back and never faked just quit and rode it out.... but this is different... consequences are different...
Not sure if he'd be too keen on me admitting to starting it again... seriously thinking about just throwing in the towel... I don't want to piss him off by being disrespectful... idk thnx for the input tho

No problem man. As for the observed test, your average testing facility like Quest Diagnostics offers them but your average job doesn't order an observed test because they cost more and totally invade privacy. Generally only LEO and in-field engineering jobs bother to observe. But if you let him know that you're willing to submit to an observed test, and want to prove it to him, it seems like there's no reason for him not to do it. Stoners are smart and fake tests a lot. If he used to smoke, he probably knows that.
