This just really psses me off! I mean, I'm one of their best employees and all of our clients trust me. I'm sure I'd be much less productive if I drank a 6-pack every night (not that there's anything wrong with that.)

I have a medical condition that pretty much keeps me from drinking much on a regular basis. Cannabis helps me relax, makes me feel good, and in a few hours I'm back to "normal!"

Why do people get so uptight about something they know nothing about. Now I have to start looking for another job. I'm not going to quit smoking and I'm not going to spend my freakin' career paranoid.

I agree it's unfair that alcohol is legal and weed isn't. I dont know anyone whos ever been in an accident because they were high and that was there fault. I however do know TONS of people who have been in accident that were their fault while drinking. Just goes to show you how things work in this country.

ok now on to my advice. As for the random testing I would just get that quick fix stuff (or any other synthetic urine) and keep it on/near you. I was freaking out about my drug test (granted it wasnt a random) but still I figured there was no way I could substitute. I was wrong it was insanley easy. If you really like your job and don't wanna quit then I would try that.

Also calm down You may not even get in an accident that causes you to have to take the drug test.

As for the mouth swab.
I havn't read anyhitng about those latley but I do know a couple places around here use them for pre-employment and everyone I know that has taken 1 just stopped smoking for 1 day (my brother actually smoked right before the damn test and passed just by brushing his teeeth for 5 minutes)
I however DON'T know if those tests are the same ones they have for your job. So i guess that was all just pointless information. (i ramble when I'm high sorry)

Anyway I wish u the best of luck with the situation.


heres my advice. Don't be so paranoid.
fallacy Reviewed by fallacy on . How to beat Random Testing? I've been an employee for company xyz for 9 years, and I have just stumbled upon a document that tells me this employer will start testing. New employees will be tested and existing employees will be tested only if: 1. Management suspects you are a drug/heavy alcohol user 2. If an employee is involved in a traffic accident with a company vehicle/personal vehicle for company business and its his/her fault. If the accident happened before the end of the day, the employee will be tested Rating: 5
