I remember all the posters that said legalization would drive up price.



I mean, it does, relative to local supply, simply because of tax. I paid $80 for an oz of Jack Herer in CO last week from a grower 'off the books'. But most folks won't care because it's so much cheaper than real poorly supplied regions.

Are pre employment and random urine drug tests used to detect any amount of weed in your body or a certain amount?

no. from what i understand, you can have a small level of THC and still pass your average pre-employment drug test. some employers use more advanced tests that will fail you for a very small amount. this happened with josh gordon's last failed test.

If I haven't smoked in a long time, I could take a few rips on a friday or saturday night and probably pass a piss test on monday (not that i would risk that).

Is there a cutoff line I suppose what I'm asking. 

Also how many times do you have to smoke to build up a measurable amount? 
I mean two hits off a bong? 
A joint ? 
A blunt? 
A couple hits out a dugout? 

I've smoked very randomly past 20 years. 
Once a month, skip 6 months , smoke every weekend for month. Skip 2 months etc etc 
Pretty much like every other person I know. Casual random pot smokers. 

I just don't know much about how it stays in body. Always heard it's stays longer than any other drug


50 nanograms is the piss test cutoff. Not sure on blood or hair but those you can't get around and hair goes back 3 months and blood is 2. It stays in your system up to 6 weeks depending on use (piss test that is).

i think you would have to be smoking several times a week, if not daily, for a 50 nanogram test to go back six weeks

THC is fat soluble. So, if you're a skinny, spindly frick like me, you can be a heavy smoker and piss clean in about 2-3 weeks. But a fat frick who took a drag might have it present for 6 weeks.

I'm talking the actual average out of pocket cost to consumers, say in WA in 2012 and WA in 2017. It's hard to argue that hasn't dropped considerably.

Yeah, as I said it depends on use.

I smoke daily. I need some time of course water and niacin can help shave 2 weeks or more.

I just bring a friends pee if I need to pass a test. There's always a door to close behind me

Do most employers no longer test for it there?

Tobacco is not bad for you, it is an estrogen blocker so they don't want you to do it

I'd like to do a study to see exactly what gets you to 50 nanograms

I'm sure the potenence of the weed has something to do with it.

I've heard people vape pot now too.
Edibles?

I've never tried any of those alt methods.
Take that back had some brownies one time.
After I was able to clear my mouth out from the Plado like material caked all in there, it was enjoyable.
That was prob 10 years ago.

I'm not tested. I have no idea what percentage of WA employers tested before compared with now. Obviously, certain industries will always test and the federal law is still unchanged.

Absolutely, there is no set time. A lot of generalities when it comes to pot.

If you need to know, take an OTC test or go to a medical facility and pay 30 bucks for a test.

Yeah healthcare, heavy industrial jobs and the like. Hard to see them changing that requirement.

Somebody made the brownies wrong. You don't mix in actual bud. A lot of them taste like shite though. I prefer hard candies.

I doubt any companies changed their policy.

No longer operating. I was, uh, sort of forced to get a professional degree. Working on that now.
