drug tests

are bull... they shouldnt look for weed.. they should look for heroin nd crack nd meth.... weed isnt even bad maaaan.. its natural :] we wouldnt have war if all the worlds leaders would calm down nd smoke a bowl together :D

Saliva Test

I passed a saliva test taking heavy amounts of little listerine pocket packs. So it is NOT fullproof on ALL tests.

efferdent

is the key when passing a test. i would only take if really needed. take it two hours before test and make sure to drink a gallon of water to be safe. try and not smoke anymore cause its not good to consume bleach for monthly test :)

problems with drug test

people have problems with drug test because they are using drugs....natureally thats the bottom line, but sometimes drug test don't always work accurately and can give false positives...for example, if you had an allergic reaction to something, the natural solution is benedryl right???well benedryl is at times used to help create crystal meth as sudafed too, which will test positve for amphetamines. Who wants to be accused of smoking crystal when all you had was an allergic reaction.

Drinking Efferdent

When I was in the Navy, I had a barracks roommate who smoked pot. He would actually drink Efferdent (yes, the denture cleanser which is basically bleach) to cheat the pee tests. It seemed to work, but I'm sure ingesting the ingredients in Efferdent would be far worse for your body than THC. I should have ratted him out, but looked the other way out of fear for being labeled a "snitch". He did get turned in eventually, and I think he did time in the brig for tampering with drug test results.

grr

stoners live and stoners die

one things for sure we all get high

Get a grip

For those of you who have a problem with it: you can thank the idiots that use the illegal drugs who leave the rest of the law-abiding citizens to deal with their hazordous behaviors. Why would you have a problem with a drug test if you are not using???????

drug testing sucks

I'm 50 and smoked pot for 35 years before being (temporarily) forced to give it up when my employer went to random drug testing. Even though I now have nothing to hide, the thought of being asked to drop my pants and pee in a cup to prove my innocence still gives me the willies, enough that I'm now doing something I should have done years ago; go into self-employment.

I absolutely resent 1)being accused of doing somethign stupid like going to work high, 2)being subjected to this senseless form of humiliation.

/Drug testing proves nothing that a reasonably alert manager can't do with their own senses. If someone is abusing drugs to the point where it's impacting their performance, that will be evident. If it's not, why is it any of hte employer's business?

I don't agree with people doing coke or crack or meth or heroine, but if they're stupid enough to do it, they will soon enough screw up their lives. the truth plays itself out. As for marijuana, if you believe it's wrong to smoke, don't smoke it. I do not understand this emphasis on marijuana when other drugs, including alcohol and tobacco are so much more harmful. Drug testing seems to be especially biased against drug use, as it's detectable for much longer when the actual effects only last for about 4 hours. there has to be a better way to determine impairment, like good old fashioned observation.

weed isnt even bad.

go potheads!
