I'm hoping someone might be able to answer this question for me. I recently joined a new company which has a policy allowing them to request drug tests. The job is great: good money and good work. So I'm going to accept the position. I'm not sure if the drug tests are random or only done with cause (i.e. you show up to work looking stoned). The way the policy is written, it doesn't say anything about them having randomized drug tests -- just that they can perform them at their discretion.

My only concern is I suffer some wicked migraines that marijuana seems to help. I'm not going to bullshit you, I also do like to smoke recreationally. The migraines are rare (~1/month) so if I have to quit, I will and just deal with the pain/sickness one day a month. My question is: if I can get a prescription to Marinol, for the migraines, will it still allow me to smoke recreationally? Do drug tests distinguish between Marinol and smoked marijuana?

Hope someone can shed some light on this! I did a search already through the forums but there didn't seem to be any conclusive answers. Thanks!
