Sucks to hear that anyone is still being subjected to the tests these days.
I remember getting into a situation at work where I lied and said I didn't see an incident that they were investigating.
Random tested every week until I moved to another job 6 months later....
Always wondered how they could afford all those tests....???
Yeah it's kind of dumb.... I mean no matter how much I study I kept failing them for so long.... LOL.
So , as I mentioned I got covid for Christmas while also not being able to use cannabis for an upcoming piss test. It has caused me some issues to flare up in my gut. Inflammation and infection , I have lost 20 pounds since then. Dr is saying Diverticulitis and I need to get a CT scan.
I say all this because I think if I was able to continue using cannabis. I don't think it would have happened or been less bothersome. My state charges me for my medical card to legally use it but then I can't use it because jobs here don't recognize it. But if you have a script for opiates your cool to work. I don't get it and it's messed up. Sorry just complaining/whining out loud.
Hope you feel better bro! The job thing.... Yeah even here there's places that don't allow weed but allow beer.... Here in Michigan both are essentially the same in terms of going to a legal business and buying what you want and not worrying about jail over it, but once you clock in it can be a little different.
I'm hoping that we as a state will actually realize just how silly this is because, well, consider:
Though rarely prescribed for anything but Cataract Surgery, Cocaine is a schedule II, meaning it's not actually illegal.
If you have a cold, you can get the "legal meth" to help you not sniffle so much.... Which also DOES show up in drug tests however the Gaschrometography test required to tell the difference between the two, costs enough to keep most jobs from using it.... Like did I read this right? Meth and Crack heads won't get fired because if the shit even stays in the system long enough, there's legal options to work with and wiggle out ?
I know of at least two documented cases of Poppy Seed foods causing someone to lose a job. Mostly because the little blue Poppy Seeds you see on store shelves are in fact Persian Blue strain of the Papaver Somniferum plant. The reason they show up is that when you grow those seeds, the Opium is all in the "cap" which happens to be where all the seeds are.
I think I'd be more worried about working with someone who was drunk or all zombie'd out on Xanax than a pot head....Shit... I've worked in a lot of different jobs, and the fact that a shitty job will drug test you.... I mean come on now.... Even Govt jobs don't go too far into that with "sub contractors".... Can you imagine DARPA finding the initial Internet and making people at UC Berkeley pee in a cup? Hahahahahahahahaha! There would be no Internet. Sometimes you can get away with it, and sometimes you can't.
Either way bro I hope you're alright, and get better soon.
