- NEW!
Help answer this question below.
I think the system itself needs to be fixed.
I have worked in the Oil & Gas industry for 13 years and it is unfortunate that the American War on Drugs and all its Hypocrisy has been allowed to spill over to My Side of the border.
I do not in any way condone the use of alcohol or any other substance,legal or otherwise in the workplace.
The Problem with the current model for Drug Testing is that it only shows that I smoke pot, forget that it was two weeks ago while I was on My Time.
The current model does not indicate any standard of impairment such as Alcohol/BAC. in which most places allow you to work with up to 0.02%. !!! I know this for a fact, I nearly peed by britches ! And smoking a joint 2,3 even 4 weeks ago will still show traces enough for positive on a Drug Test.
Watch the movie "THE UNION". It has added perspective from both sides.
Take the war on drugs back to the USA.
Our client, a few years back, decided that aside from their employees, all contractors had to conform to their drug-free policy. We ended up losing 3 employees from our office. A couple of them tried some of those old-wives tales about special shampoos, etc. to conceal the evidence (they were both much older than I am, too). My partner told me about a friend who works for a company that does random testing, but refuses to quit smoking weed...she just figures, oh well...I'll just find another job!
It's pretty sad that people still can't get their acts together and quit using. Not just because it could endanger their career, but also endanger their lives.
There is no "beating the system." Get help to quit, or end up getting fired!
no I just feel sorry that these people have to go through all this bullshit when the tests a 100% faulty in every way, 99% of the testing done does NOT show if the person is under the influence at all... all it shows is traces of drugs in their system. I am 100% against these tests and will remain so until they are changed to show if the person is under the influence at the time of the tests ... these tests are a total invasion of ones private lives outside of work hours and until the bosses start paying people for 24 hours then they have NO right what so ever to infringe on peoples time out of work hours
No
I help them because its thier life
who am i to say
Yes I do. I work with addicts and I know it is hard to stop but I also know that I don't want my doctor or nurse or a truck driver or school bus driver (whoever) to do drugs and then barely pass the test. If you want to use that is your business but when you put lives at risk it is everyone's business. Everytime I see one of those in my mind I am thinking :"I hope you fail". You would think in this economy where jobs are so hard to find people would appreciate their job and not risk losing it. In my eyes telling someone how to beat that test is just like committing a murder or accident that the person might have while high.
I have beaten urinalysis more times than I can count.
8 years on probation.
Multiple drug tests for jobs.
If I am not on the clock, you have no business violating my privacy.

You're reading Do you get tired of questions about beating drug testing? Like "I have to be tested tomorrow--what do I do"...(Maybe stop doing drugs) (Or realize you have a problem if you can't stop for a few days/weeks). It all seems to be about beating the system.

Redcatt63.... I am curious to know what you mean by endangering ones life ~ assuming your refering to weed. The Phamacutical Industry is Big , Big Business.
I can have a doctors note and be working under the influence of Valium, Codine, etc, ( Much More Dangerous and Highly Addictive). And thats ok because the Dr. perscribed it , yet I go home and have a puff and somehow THIS is Dangerous ?
I urge you to educate yourself with Truthful Knowledge and challenge the propaganda the US government is pushing. < sadly our Canadian PC Govt. is just about as bad >
