re: #113 Aceofwhat?

I don’t understand. As long as you don’t have the drugs in your system, does it matter whether you do them on your own time? I thought the point was to see if a person is under the influence on the job, as opposed to whether they toked up on their vacation to Jamaica?

You do have the drugs in your system, though. Pot, opiates, anything fat-soluble, will linger in your system for days, and result in a positive, even if you’re not high.

And, as Tampa pointed out, most companies test once, or maybe annually. Mostly once, at hiring.

So they’re basically spending a lot of money to make sure you didn’t smoke a joint in the week prior to getting hired by them.
