Definately a sore subject here... can't imagine how something like pot has gotten so demonized....

My OL is a teacher and she does not get tested, but I do. Somehow I always get hit with a random at least yearly. Nothing to catch, but it still chaps my a**.

Can't figure out what someone does on the weekend has to do with pulling wires on monday.... but then again mabye that idiot Brian talked about at the rehab place could explain it to me

Hell, go talk to that guy "LawnGuyLandSparky", he'll tell you. He thinks that someone who smokes some weed shouldn't be an electrician, just a burger flipper or a shelf stocker at K-Mart.

use your wifes pee. hold it on your nuts. no one will ever know. that can not test it to see if it is male or female. if the analyzer says you have protein(blood) in your urine, tell them you have had a urinary tract infection last week. believe me, it works. just change pee every ten days. use spice bottle with twist cap, tie string around bottle, string around belt loop, let hang by your sac. stays 94 deg. hold cup with both hands huff in to it to warm up cup, pour in pee, no temp change.

i used to smoke morning noon night middle of the night, you get me.

i no longer smoke, family too important

This practice is why alot of piss test today require a nurse or someone watching you pull it out of your pants and watching you piss in the bottle.
Smoking pot at work is not cool and does affect your judgement

I agree, but IMO smoking on the weekend does not, no worse that beer.

I do not smoke or drink, I am a quitter!

I agree, I have been "randomly tested" a few times, one time in college at the NCAA Regional Tournament for Baseball, the guy that was administering the test got right in there to watch.lol Talk about stage fright.

The other times the nurse just passed a cup and said " go in there, when you're done put the cup in the little door after you seal it."

Just like beer, smoking will stay in your system and it will affect you hours later, I for one do not need the worry of one of my guys screwing up getting hurt or hurting someone else and then learn that he tested dirty,
your company could and would be in alot of trouble. We random test and if you are dirty you are gone period.

With arthritis and the normal aches and pains of age somedays it is hard to get out of bed on work days but the pride of supporting my family and
enjoying what I do at work sure the hell beats the thought of looking forward to a waste of time like getting high.

before i quit smoking bob, i had never been caught AT ALL. any of your employees could be doing the same thing. oh and bob its not like they are on parol, the nurses do not stand next to YOU, just behind, and i still used my technique. sometimes i had been observed by nurses, but the way around that is" nurse i can not pee with you staring in the back of my head. it will be easier for if you turned around" then making a loud long groan would i pour it in the bottle.

as long as you play it cool and calm, they do not even suspect it.
oh and they expext a temp change from 98-93, cause the cup is cold,
so do not threaten about what you know nothing of. i had it down to a science.
