I'm getting annoyed at all of the testing done by employers. They want to know your full medical history. Its to much bullshite without anyone regulating them. Its an invasion of privacy, yet people won't demand the politicians do something about it. This is starting to seem worse than communism. Then they seem to discriminate against people after the age of 40.

An internet search will prove that it does.

Repeating this 12 hours line over and over doesn’t make it true. It depends on the volume obviously but THC can metabolize in as quickly as an hour to show up in your piss

You come arse as some 18 year old that still hasn’t figured out how the world really works

Again, there may be a few cases where it does, but normally not. I'm not talking about that 1 in 1000. An internet search will prove this. A saliva test will show if used a few hours after use, but not current intoxication.

The parent drug, ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), has a clearance half-life of less than 30 minutes and is not detectable in urine. Following a dose of THC, the metabolite typically appears in the urine within 60 minutes, but can take as long as 4 hours.

Your points are nonsensical. You’re begging daddy government to dictate to businesses. I don’t support that.

I indulge in the devils lettuce every so often. I’m not ideologically opposed to it, and I support legalization on freedom grounds. But I also support the right of business owners to make their own rules.

When Donald Trump passed the hemp bill in 2018, it allowed .3% THC to be included in CBD products. This is what has caused vape shops to appear everywhere in the state. Most people don't seem to know that this .3% THC can get you stoned and also show up on a drug test. This small amount will only get a light user high. Since this has become legal, when are they going to take it off of the drug test? It doesn't seem practical to fire somebody from their job for a positive drug test, for having a substance in their system that has been legalized. Visit the link below to learn more:


When I worked as a Controller under the FAA and Colorado legalized recreational Marijuana a memorandum was sent out and it was made very clear that just because it is legal at the state level doesn't mean that you partake and drug tests and policies were still in effect. Because it is not legal at the federal level any federal government employee or contractor is still subject to drug policy. Also people who work for a private company, but fall under something like DOT regulations also can't partake. I imagine most places that don't fall under federal regulations really don't give a shite as long as you don't show up high.

Private companies can set whatever standards they want.

I’m pretty sure companies can fire people for ingesting legal products. I’m not saying whether this is good or bad; I’m just saying they can.


I work at a fortune 250 and was speaking with an HR person about this. Apparently if weed shows up on a drug test they look the other way now for new hires. Coke will get you popped though

This is the issue that I have. If you keep allowing this, you are going to have tyranny. That is just like saying in a communist country, the government can make any rule that they choose because they own the businesses. That is why it is taken over by tyranny.

The ignorance of how capitalism works is frightening.

The cardiovascular surgeon doing your four vessel bypass, the truck driver manning an 18 wheeler, or the pilot flying a plane full of passengers from NBC to Europe would disagree.

Hopefully.

I guess the issue is determining level of impairment. A BAC for alcohol is pretty conclusive. Not always, but enough.

That THC stays in your system for a while even if you’re not stoned, the liability if you do something catastrophically wrong with it in your system is huge.

I can understand my brain surgeon vaping when he gets home from work to relax. But if he’s operating on me and ruins my medulla oblongata with THC in his system I’m going to own everything he has.

Please tell me you have formed this only after 12 hours theory based on this vague labcorp description

Drugs in blood are typically detectable within minutes to hours, depending on the drug and the dose, versus one to several days in urine.

If it is that big of a danger, then it never should have been legalized. Again, like I have posted over and over, the current testing doesn't even test for current intoxication, and it doesn't even seem like this issue has ever been debated by knowledgeable people. The people posting here have opinions, but half of what they are saying is incorrect. What we seem to have is basically a bunch of people that wants big business to be able to do whatever they want, because that's the party line of a conservative. Nearly every war that ever been fought is fought over capitalism, so the corporation and the state can't be separated. Communism and capitalism are two sides of the same thing.

You will get tested for that if you are in a serious accident too in most settings you realize?
Seems like now we're mixing concepts. Your original response seemed related to random drug tests - not those immediately in the aftermath of a "serious accident". Of course it's not OK to drive heavy machinery while intoxicated in any variety.
