First of all- after countless hours of online research, I've decided that this is by far the most informative, friendly and effective website on said topics. Some of the posters here know their stuff in-depth. I have looked into both the stickies on dilution and substitution and am going to attempt both methods (in case substitution goes wrong.)
I just graduated college a few months ago. In the post graduate limbo of not trying to hard to find a job, and smoking good buds, i (through an 'IN') landed an interview and soon after a job offer. During the interview the H.R manager/recruiter mentioned that if i got the job, i would receive a back ground-check and (they) would have to schedule a drug test. HERE IS MY CONCERN. This is my first 'real job' (my summer jobs during college did not drug test) So what should i expect? Will i be tested during my orientation on my first day of work? Will they schedule me to go to a testing center that day, or later in the week? I am pretty nervous that i will show up on my first day, and bam, drug test sitting on the desk. I will start work Tuesday and am pretty unsure on what to expect.
That being said, i have no chance of getting clean quickly. I am 5'9 and 175 lb's, exercise 4/5 times a week. But i have been smoking everyday for 4 + years now. The past six months i've been smoking like 3, max 5 bowls a day of good bud.
Any input and suggestions would be so greatly appreciated, and thank you.
also, if its any help on the companies practices, they are a property management firm that employs somewhere around 500-700 people, with 60 working in the headquarters office, where i would be working. Also, it is not a salaried position, i will be paid by the hour. It is a drug free workplace.
