I would be working on site that requires drug testing to enter, it's not the employer, but the site that does these tests. I have been a daily self medicated user for many years now. I got a call last week about a dream job, but I need to pass a drug test to get the job, and my future boss insisted that I tell him if I would not pass. I said no problem!
Simply, because it is not a problem or so I thought, bare with me for a minute. I stopped smoking right after hanging up and gave all my stuff to a friend, so I have quit to get this job. That's how serious I am about this. I've been clean for 7 days so far, and it's going great, no real cravings to speak of.
What's the problem? I have done the research and all indications are that I will fail the test unless I cheat. You see, cannabis can stay in the system up to 11 weeks as it gets absorbed in body fat. I figure there is only about 2 weeks before I get the drug test.
Did I lie to my future boss? No, I did stop smoking to get and keep this job. The problem is that if you sniff Coke on Friday night, you can test negative on Monday no problem, but with Cannabis, it's up to 11 weeks as I already said. So, a guy can do an 8th ball per week-end and be ready for work Monday, but I smoke one joint and I lose the opportunity for this job.
I won't get started on how stupid these tests are since it's obvious they are flawed. It is not possible with current technology to identify when a drug was taken, only how much of it is present in the body so that makes these tests null, void, flawed and just bad form to use them. They still do and I will not pass based on what I said so far.
Therefore, I quit but doubt it will be gone from my system in time for the testing and I won't get this job unless I purchase a cheating kit of some kind or flush my body or do the 100's of other tips folks are willing to share in order to help me pass my test.
I just want others who have been there done that to chime in on this and give me some real life stories/examples.
Do I even have a chance to get this job?
