I don't agree with smoking pot either (simply becauase it's illegal), but I've had some extremely horrible affects from alcohol, and have never taken a drink in my life. My dad's drinking almost ruined MY life.

lawrocket 3 #103 June 27, 2006 QuoteAnd then the other problem with drug testing is that drugs like coke and meth are out of your system so quickly that drug tests aren't as useful for the hard stuff. That's why hair tests are the coming thing. Once the FDA gets it as an acceptable standard, states will take off with ordering. My wife is hotter than your wife.

That's why hair tests are the coming thing. Once the FDA gets it as an acceptable standard, states will take off with ordering. Well, a friend of mine smoked the night before his hair test and had no problems. I guess the dope indicators didn't have time to grow out into the sample taken? It seems to me, if you just recently did drugs, letting your hair long would more likely give you a pass on a hair test than cutting it down, giving them a sample right up against the scalp. But my understanding of the science is probably way off. Anyway, if people use the same discretion with pot smoking that they use with drinking, there is likely no problem. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

mnealtx 0 #106 June 27, 2006 QuoteI sooooooo admire blind trust in our government! It did work for Germany at one time though... No my kids can watch 24 hours of drug adds that have side effects worse than the damn symptoms being treated....drink themselves to death...but smoke one fuckin joint and they're liable to get YEARS in jail....and yet most retirees consume more chemicals that are addicting and bad for them than I ever will in my entire life. MY BODY MY CHOICE!!! seemed to work for abortion .... and that's a WHOLE other issue!!! I have NEVER understood our two-faced approach to drugs in this country. Where did I say anything about blind trust in the government? All I said was: 1. Cultural bias or no, it's still illegal 2. Want to pass a drug test - don't do the drugs in the first place Was there something in those statements you had a particular problem with? I'd be happy to explain...Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

But my understanding of the science is probably way off. the night before is very possible, as it would not have time to be motabloized and show in new hair.. but.... when they do a hair test they only take a section about 3 or so inches inches long and it is cut close to the scalp, so hair lenght doesn't matter so much... and if you shave everywhere, it is normally a sign that you are trying to hide something and they will not hire you on the premis that they couldn't do the test so you fail because you did not take it.... ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee846 0 #109 June 27, 2006 Quote"I would use someone elses pee. Have them pee in a bottle just before your test, like minutes. Keep it in your armpit or inbetween your belt and skin, to keep it warm. This only works if you are not being watched while you test." -Article on testing I don't know if this helps ... one of my friends did so a couple of weeks ago. So i know that my pee is clean And as soon as that person is a friend of mine i would rather let him use my pee and get a job after his test passed than to let him smoke more weed being unemployed.

Dolph 0 #111 June 27, 2006 No piss or drug tests here for normal employment. I don't do drugs. I still would object to a piss test. The whole "guilty until proven innocent" assumption of an employer is to me a clear indication that said employer is not one that is compatible with my personal values. Look guys, I don't mean to be disrespectful towards the US. But I do get the impression that things really aren't *that* great in the US, as far as freedom for the individual goes. Sure, you can have guns. But you have to put with a lot of crap that just doesn't happen in many other countries. This would be quite acceptable and not worthy of comment, had it not happened in a nation which prides itself regarding the freedom it offers its inhabitants.

tbrown 26 #119 June 28, 2006 Quotefriend of mine who worked at a drug squad told me that none of the trace-erasers work. so save your dough and quit smoking weed. go get some shrooms instead. they wont be looking for that stuff and after two days traces of the good ingredients will be gone And that's why shrooms are the favored drug of air traffic controllers. Comforting thought, no ?? As for the guy taking the test, if you're topping the charts at 3X max, quit smoking dope and wait a couple months. Why be in a rush to fail ? Besides, you might like sobriety once you get used to it. Mental clarity is a high in itself. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
