Jobs and Drugs?
    #7701856 - 12/01/07 05:57 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Why is it that any decent paying job always drug test you? Its almost like society is set up for people that do drugs to work at mcdonalds or any other shithole place like that. Maybe its just because I live in a small town but I dono. Any thoughts on this? :psychsplit:

Well weed stays in your system a long time and drinking tons of water or cranberry juice Iv'e tried several times and it never seems to work. Plus with random tests every so often it seems like theres no way of bypassing it. Ya know?

well, yeah - but I know when I have to look for a job, I have to go on a weed diet until I find a new job.

Im not for drug testing gods no - but I do know how to play the game.
Isnt it funny how weed sticks around in your body- but coke is gone in like 24 hours.
hummm

I always wondered why all the hard drugs don't stay in your sytem that long but weed does. Coke is one hell of a drug but 80 bucks gone in an hour or 2, ehh its not worth it anymore.

I'm agreeing with Orcale here. Gotta work the system or it'll work you. Unless your a felon like me! :grin: Then your fucked!

A lot of jobs just drug test to get hired on I had to take two one for the temp agency and then when i became a full time associate I had to take another I never "stopped" doing drugs I just did less so I could be clean for my test I have never failed one even though I was still doing drugs but it helps greatly to reduce your intake it's not hard to clean a joint out of your system. But the best jobs do hair test and random testing and those are a bitch. I personally do not believe in them because it doesn't stop shitty workers from getting jobs, in all reality drug test don't work they produce false negatives or don't read positive when they should and the companies that make them refuse to take responsibility for their shitty products. The only time I think they should be used is if a worker seriously injures them self or another person, because no one should be intoxicated at a place where they could easily injure someone.

Exactly man they should only test if somebody is injured. The job I'm working for now is alright framing, drywall, ect, but its not quite doin it for me. I don't make enough to hardly do anything with and it has strange hours where sometimes I won't work for a week or 2 so I make even less. On the good side my boss is cool hes always talkin about how he used to go to keggers and get fucked up all the time. The only reason I'm even thinking about getting a different job is so I can move.

The cops in my town are horrible and I have no real freedom from my parents. Lol this post is pretty off topic but this is what drove me to start this thread anyway.

Also your best bet could be if you could find work through a job that has branches were you are looking to live and they could possibly transfer you. I saved my money for three years till I was 18 I moved out the week after had almost $7,000 and that was great to have when I moved out and it helped so much with car repairs furniture everything. It is totally worth quitting doing drugs to get a job and get out on your own. Even though I didn't have to because i first started working kitchen jobs when I was 15. But yeah union jobs I think would be great for re-locating you.

Solution: Turn to DMT! Pump that shit into your veins in front of the tester and tell them to try and find it in their little test :rofl:

And what about the honest hard working man who smokes every once in a while and trips or gets hurt because of someone else or just an honest mistake? He is going to have to take a drug test, and he is going to lose his job. Companies test after accidents not because they want to see if the person is on drugs or not, but if they have shit in their system then they can't collect workers comp or insurance. The system is in place to fuck you over, not protect you.

My dad got knocked in the head real bad at his job a few months back, He was bleeding everywhere and needed stitches but he just sucked it up went home and got private treatment. Was he high at work? Never. Was the injury his fault? No. Would he get lose his job and every thing he's worked for anyway just because of a stupid drug test? Yes.

I know why. Your body treats all the hard drugs as a poison and moves to flush them out immediately. On the other hand, your body knows weed is good for it, and keeps it circulating in the system for as long as possible.

to the OP:

what are you talking about? the best paying jobs dont drug test at all. Most PROFESSIONAL jobs like engineering and law dont drug test.

Companies mainly just drug test middle-paying jobs like blue collar and service industry type stuff. If youre a druggie, you gotta aim higher.

Unless you go to grad school and get a job at some law firm or investment brokerage. But ya, otherwise you're pretty screwed. Unless you can manage the self-control to stop smoking weed for a while.
