(2,533 posts)2. It takes a lot longer than " a few weeks"...And why should I go without my medicine?
Because I can tell you with no doubt I will not be a well person without my legally prescribed medicine.
And this has gone on for far too long. In Oregon there is no legal protection for an employee when it comes to the medical use of cannabis.
So you can have a meth head or drunk pass the test easy. While a person who has chosen the medicine for his affliction that has the LEAST side effects of anything else -well you are inelligable from the get-go.
I'd love to see a competency based test Vs a pee test.

So are standardized tests. By the way, poppy seeds will trigger a positive for opiates.
