drug test = random
duration = this is my first times moking in a month and a half
idiot level = 0
As infrequently as you smoke, it will be out of your system in 3-4 days.
Go with this advice...let us know how it turns out. :roll:
It really all depends on the testing methods and criteria.
MOST tests ignore levels below a certain point...where that point is can vary by employer/testing facility/testing requirements.
If you and your "bud" smoked an ounce of weed and you have to test next week...welcome to the world of "FIRED for failing a drug test."
While I've never done drug testing, I did work with my union's drug rehab/testing department for a while. We didn't administer tests (except for union compliance...for people like our apprentices) but we did have to review failed tests on a regular basis and try to keep people's jobs when they failed a test. If they failed a re-test, it meant drug rehab to keep their job or to get dispatched for another one.
With drug testing being so commonplace, I have no sympathy for anyone who fails a drug test.
While I may not agree with them, (from a civil liberties point of view) they are legal...and since they're testing for illegal substances...you have no right of refusal.
(Thank you Nancy Reagan..."Just Say NO!")
Several years ago, a "friend of a friend" drove truck for one of the local freight haulers.
The guy had quit smoking dope, did not other drugs, and rarely drank.
One of his best friends came into town for a weekend, and talked him into doing a few lines of cocaine.
The following Monday, his name came up in the random drug testing pool...and he was fired when the results came in. 15 years with the same company...all his benefits and pension(except the vested portion)...gone.
Failing a drug test can follow you for a long time.
