Are you speaking to me? I hope not.
I'm not for testing of employees as a condition for employment. (for MOST things).
I'm living in a town where there are 2 medical marijuana dispenseries, but most every employer tests for that.
I find this hysterically funny.
I met someone who went to school to be a home health CNA whatever you call them. He doesn't use pot, but he drinks. He just stopped drinking long enough to pass a test, which as I understand it, is a very short half life. (the pot takes around 30 days I am told, to leave the system and pass the test). Meanwhile the kid who drinks passes the test.
You think he's stopped drinking? He's a lush. He's drinking all the time. You can smell it on him. And he is now taking care of people.
Everything will be fine..........until it isn't.
Employee testing doesn't seem to do a whole lot of good in most cases. Too many ways to get around it and you would have to test them weekly forever.
