My understanding is that a lot of insurance policies mandate the testing and if you're super valuable the company will just eat the increased premiums for their druggy all stars.

not doing anything is as soul destroying as having a bad job. I think most people, or maybe just me, would like to do useful work that they enjoy and not ablate their identities in terrible hell work.

The DOT mandates random drug tests for companies involved in heavy construction so if you're in the trades like me you just don't have a choice. Too bad cuz i like to do drugs occasionally but a failed DOT screen will follow you for years if not forever and the welding jobs that don't regularly test are low skilled and low paid in my experience

Great news!

I did a swab in Oregon where I think the tester was kind of impressed at how high the pink bar for THC was. She also didn't care and we talked about how she had to pass a test for a different job she was interviewing for.

I went to prison for shrooms as a teen (thanks Texas!) and had something like 10 years of probation where I had to piss in a cup while a dude stared at my dick every other week. This went on for about two years before they called me to say I pissed hot. Naturally this came as a surprise to me because I hadn't done poo poo since getting out of prison, but hey what are you gonna do.

Anyway, the P.O. was pretty much "lol you're hosed, kid" and trying to get me to sign a confession so that I could spend the next 3-6 years in a halfway house, or not sign and go to court, and go back to prison for the same period of time for violating probation because gently caress if I was gonna win the case with a hot piss test. It was a hosed up situation to put a teenager in because you're pretty much between a rock and a hard place and don't REALLY have any choice whatsoever.

However, I am a man of PRINCIPLE, and told the dude I wasn't gonna admit to something I didn't do. He had me come in the following week and was pushing the paper in front of me to sign and I just kept refusing, while telling him I didn't do poo poo. Anyway, when I was just about to cave in (cause gently caress going back to prison), he gets a call at his desk. After hanging up he says "well, I'm not gonna apologize to you. The company that did the drug screenings just reported they had a huge batch of false positives in the last month. So I'm gonna let you go this time, but I'm watching you."

poo poo was straight out of a tv drama I swear. It's only now, looking back on something 20 years past, that the cynical side of me wonders if he didn't have that whole thing planned out trying to get me to confess to something I didn't do just to hit some bullshit quota or something. Because honestly it feels a bit too pat that the dude HAPPENED to call RIGHT when I was in the office after like half an hour of waffling.

Anyway that's my piss test story. I hate piss tests now.

Well, in my case let’s just say that the dude watching my dick pee probably didn’t mind looking at dicks all day.

Edit:

Misread. I wasn’t in the military. I just had a PO that would literally stare at my dick while I was peeing in a cup.

i had a pee test for nursing school (starting clinicals soon) just the other week. i don't smoke much pot, maybe a one-hitter a few times a week. never had a drug test though so i just played it safe and stopped smoking like nearly 2 months ago. obviously i passed it. good to know it really only takes like 2 weeks max to get that poo poo out your system if you do the right stuff. will remember that for future tests.

also i did it at a labcorp, and if they are all run the same way (probably not but whatever) my experience was that they put me inside a solo bathroom unsupervised to pee, 3 minutes max. I could have had fake/other pee on me and easily cheated the test. just fyi for anyone else going to a labcorp.

Re: army cockgazers

It's something usually assigned at the battalion level. Pretty much whoever pisses off sarnt major can be assigned, usually stuck to sergeants and corporals. It's not a job you can enlist for, but I'm sure whoever assigns the role doesn't mind volunteers.

If you're gonna be dumb and smoke weed in the army (like I did), make sure you know the person who answers calls from brigade. Unless command directed at the unit level (suspicion by your immediate command), the orders for piss tests come down from brigade.


I was never busted. By the army or cops. Failed a bunch of drug tests for jobs though.

Had one of those instant result pee tests at a temp agency. After filling the cup past the line, I put it on the back of the toilet while I finished peeing in the toilet. Well it was angled and slid down, spilled piss all over. Sat in the office drinking water until I could pee again (and while they mopped up). They obviously didn't care that the second one was super diluted and I got that lovely job.

True story of failing a swab test IRL:

While I was in college, I applied to work at a Lowe's that was walking distance to my apartment complex. I needed a part time job, and the fact I could walk there made it a good choice. I got a call for an interview at 8am. I stayed up drinking until about 2 or 3 am. I'm talking serious drinking, like had over 10 beers and some liquor. I went in and passed the interview, but they made me take a swab test. They told me before I left "If the test comes back negative you'll get the job. We have them picked up at the end of the day."

I never got the job offer and I assumed it is because I was still technically drunk from the night before. Good times, was worth it, got a much more chill job that paid better.

My work does randoms but only because insurance or something requires it. I got pulled into a swab test with no notice, which would normally be a problem for someone who smokes dabs every day, if I wasn’t also white trash that partakes of chewing tobacco. I took out my dip, stuck in the swab, and 30 seconds or whatever later handed the guy back a swab that was dyed a rich, dark brown. He gave me the “are you serious” look and I just shrugged and walked away.

In retrospect I have my medical card, so it was really a nonissue.

article posted:

A Colorado woman has been cited by police after a container of what appeared to be urine blew up as she was heating it up in a microwave at a 7-Eleven.

Police say the incident occurred in the convenience store chain's Aurora location last week when the clerk heard a loud bang and saw 26-year-old Angelique Sanchez take a white plastic bottle out of the microwave.

A police report says when confronted by the clerk, Sanchez wiped a yellow liquid that smelled like urine onto the floor and walked out.

Police located Sanchez at a nearby clinic where she had planned to take a urinalysis test for a potential employer.

My last drug test was a hair test. Which was pretty rough, because i had done cocaine and amphetamines and a few other things that really like hair follicles earlier in the year. i've been on and off from non-heroin opioids as well, so i was mostly expecting to fail, however the embarassment of not being hired was smaller than the benefit of just letting them see my drug history as told through a hair test.

What saved me, i think, is the low-level infrequent abuse of things like cocaine and amphetamine, and i'm 90% they saw my opioid use and hired me anyway because during training, while going over policy with the new hires the guy looks right at me while talking about how handing out painkillers would be grounds for firing AND prosecution lol
