In reply to the discussion: Drug Tests are Bullshit! [View all]2pooped2pop
(5,420 posts)6. this is just another part of the plan
to keep liberals from surviving. You don.t catch the coke heads, the meth users or other hard drug users. You catch the pot smoker with the drug test because pot is the only onethat stays in your system.
some use hair follicle which will test positive for pot if u smoked it months ago. So I'm pretty sure if I smoked 6 months ago, 1 month ago or last night, it has nothing to do with my performance today. Pot smokers are not an employee risk unless maybe you run a brownie factory. Further if I get hurt on ur lousy equipment, I will be tested and lose my job and insurance because I smoked a month ago.
This is total bullshit aimed at people who tend to vote dem.

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