Whatever, toasthead. I bet you like your eggs scrambled, too. This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. This is your brain on drugs on toast.

Read more, post less

I have never smoked pot, this is about the person in the OP.

Jesus Christ some of you are fricking stupid

Have no desire to better themselves or their place in life.

He's dumb, but so is your company for testing for weed


Don’t some insurance plans require a certain amount of random drug tests? Especially companies that deal with heavy machinery or transportation

What a loser. If you can’t pass a drug test without being clean, you don’t deserve that kind of raise and should remain in poverty.

it’s pretty easy to quit compared to most additions because there is no real physical addiction

Get that shite out of here. “Mental addiction” isn’t any easier to get over than physical addiction. If anything, it’s harder. There are people who literally kill themselves with food and candy, and ruin their lives with gambling and other non physical addictions

The FEDERAL Government insists on them, via the DOT Department.

Random drug tests aren't the companies call, it's DOT.

If you want to smoke at your house and just do nothing after working, I see no reason that’s a problem.

If you want to smoke 24/7 and not show up to work, well that’s clearly another problem.

Bums are bums no matter their vice. Weed isn’t detrimental to peoples health so i don’t get this argument.

If people want to get blazed on their own time who cares? It's certainly not any worse than most of this board who gets shite faced every night and screams at the TV with Fox News on.




Problem is a lot of these dick stains get blazed “on their own time” which means ~3 mins before they are supposed to show up and clock in for work. Then they show up cross-eyed, mush-mouthed and stinking of skunk weed and present that to customers.

I won't work at any place that randomly drug tests. If your place does then there are 100 businesses around you that only screen one time. Stupid policy to random drug test and an invasion of privacy IMO. Especially with pill mills still around. The idea that all doctor's are above the law and none are glorified drug dealers is ridiculous.

Insurance and because it’s legally required by DOT.

These fricking morons still won't figure this out.

If you drive any commercial vehicle, your company has to do random drug tests monthly.

It's DOT mandated, and the Insurance companies also likes them

This is true. Didn't think op was talking About driving for job... We need driverless trucks.

Another thing that would have been great is if commercial vehicles had their own interstates. Much like trains. Just seems odd that there hasn't been much innovative thought had been put into the nuts and bolts of logistics.

$100 of weed a week is so much . You'd need to smoke all the time to get through that in a week.

People tend to only think of DOT involving semis hauling goods around. It’s much deeper than that. One of my teams manages one of largest fleets in the US (top 10) and we have almost zero semis. DOT regs touch a lot more than what most people think, especially the way GVWR has grown in pickups.
