Easy, free stoner jobs?

Wondering what kind of jobs would be relatively easy to try and get; being someone who probably couldn't pass a drug test if their life depended on it, I'm going to say that drug tests are out of the picture. I could wait a month or so if I wanted to get the job bad, but what do you guys think?

Background info: 17yo white male, Louisiana, lots of tech knowledge and ability to pretty much perform any task. All AP classes in school, academics a breeze. I'm not all that *desperate* for cash, but I really need the job experience (have no official job experience) and could use the cash for sure to fund my car's expenses etc.

Thanks for reading and hopefully I (and others) will be able to get some help in this area. I look forward to your responses.

I'm in crappy louisiana too and welcome to cann.com

Resturant jobs don't drug test. And anyway, it is easy to quit for a month and get a decent job. I would suggest that route. Unless you mess up some how they won't test you again.

Plant trimmer...

Once every couple months...

Good pay...

No benefits...

Lotsa free scissor hash...

401k plan included...


Damn it...I forgot where I put that AD...*cough*



Sorry to be so sarcastic ...but I can't help myself sometimes. Good luck in your job search. Try to find one where you are not an "employee," but a sub-contractor rather. Oh, and I'm not sure if my memory is correct about the 401k Plan above. :p

Hmmm, you know, that;s so hard to say. I know in States, they have drug testing for the simplest of jobs. To be a stock boy at Wal-Mart they drug test you. Don't get me wrong, a job is a job, but I guess I don't see the purpose of doing so much drug testing that isn't really needed.

I can see drug testing for government jobs, or if you're a rig/truck driver, but stocking shelves, drug testing just isn't needed in those areas.

So I'm not really sure what to answer. A more broad example of what you're after might help. :)

Well the thing is.. I have asked around a bit from people I know that have had jobs in my area, and they've said: McDonald's tests (wouldn't work there anyway), Taco Bell tests, Wendy's doesn't (but 2 people I used to be friends with work there, my last resort), and haven't heard too much of the others.

Honestly, I don't want to flip burgers. Ever. Even if it's just some trash teenage job. But the thing about getting a "decent job" is.. I don't know what to do or where to do it at.

I sent in apps to Circuit City, Johnny's Pizza, Best Buy, and others, (Circuit City has ZERO people on register every single time I go in there, yet they still fail to call me for interview) and none of which have gone further than calling me to let me know they've received it, I never get any interviews scheduled or anything.

I only went to Blockbuster for that last summer, and they said I was too young (after going through all the registration etc.. so dumb).

So, I don't know. I have no idea what I could do.

Thanks for the fast reply, though.

Hard to say. You seem pretty qualified, but which jobs drug test can be a toss up. It isn't a career but local music and video shops are always good (not a chain though like HMV or Blockbuster).

Bus Boy, did it for a while til i quit, its boring but a breeze all you do is pick up plates and give them to the dishwasher and i would work with like 17-18 year old people( waiters etc) who always had cigs so i could go on a break with them

Best Buy and Circuit city do. I would think the pizza place might not. Most resturants don't. You are only 17 chances are your job will be crap. You have to start somewhere.

The smaller the company the less chance of a drug test too. Drug tests cost money. Family owned places=good.

Well I don't smoke cigs, and working at a food place would just tempt me too much for my liking.

Has anyone been in a similar situation where they had to get a job like this? I'm not even going to try to beat a drug test, it's either they test and I wait a month or they don't and I go free.

Start cooking in a resturaunt. Not fast food, grease joints, but a sit down resturaunt, or a bar and lounge. Bar and lounge food is super easy to make, no drug testing, and the work and pay isn't bad either.

Expect not to get calls back from people, and expect to work crappy jobs. You have to start somewhere. :) You can't start at the best place and be treated with respect. The first years of working is all about how much crap you can take from the boss. :p Get a few jobs under your belt for a good time, and things will get easier and easier. :)

Good luck.
