LOL you make it sound like he's giving away his freedom of choice and free will, when it's nothing more than just abstaining for a while. be a good sheep and comply. bahahahahh. be more dramatic.
Smoking da herb is now beginning to interfere with your ability to live a responsible young adult life. When it's getting in the way that is when it's a problem.
I'm just saying I wouldn't change what I do in my home for the sake of some money making scheme which is all this is. If they really wanted to know what you were doing they would submit you to a blood and hair analysis. Urine tests are a scam plain and simple.
How is that a money making scheme? Your employer pays out of their pocket for the tests. Not all employers do hair samples because they know at some point most people tried weed.

There are other forums on the intranets that have the answers you are looking for.
55 million emloyees take drug tests per year. calculate lost work time x the cost of the test and tell me there isn't money in this chirade? Regardless of who is paying for it there is simply no benefit.
As an employer if you are going to be effective the testing has to be random and on going.
Between false positives and false negatives, and every other way there is to scam the test it is completely useless. The only idiots that will fail are absolute crackheads that don't have half a brain to figure out how easily the test can be passed(abstaining or otherwise) These crackheads should have been weeded out in the interview phase anyways.
It can happen but its no true in all cases. I've done my share and I've never seen a temp strip on the cup. If you are using the urinator it is close enough to your body to get around this anyways. Everytime I've been they don't even look at the sample until minutes afterward so its already cooled quite a bit.
We do 1% of our workforce, randomly, on an ongoing, monthly basis. The cost of the test is $35, with MRO review for all positives. Lost worktime is 10min/Ee @ an average wage of $15.67/hr (or $1.57/Ee). That equates to about $62.80/mo. in lost worktime and $1400/mo in testing cost, or about $17,500/yr. We save about 3x more than that in direct premium reduction. This does not include savings from reduction in lost work time, absenteeism, quality issues, etc.
So, by your logic, your a rebel if you fail a urine test and a blind sheep if you pass a urine test? A test that YOU don't pay for.
Tell me, how is it "Sticking it to the man" to fail a urine test? You get fired, your out of work. And you have to potential to be unemployable if your next location of work finds out that you failed a drug test.
Yes, I think I see now how failing a drug test will correct a corrupt drug testing system...
this is a proper implementation. the scam is the pre-employment non-sense.
