Tech interviewers have brought up their weed habit when speaking to me lol

I've had some tech jobs require drug testing, but its always been when its a not tech company hiring for a tech job there.

For job interviews just use Quick Fix. They don’t watch you pee at that level of test and it’s super easy if you pay attention to the temperature.

More difficult if it’s a random one though.

This. I don't remember what brand I used, but the fake urine is chemically identical to real urine so as long as the temp is correct they can't tell. They can only watch you pee for court ordered/probation drug tests. Heat it up in the microwave, wrap it with some chemical hand warmers, stuff it in your underwear, and you are good to go.

My roommate in college bought a whizzinator, that fake dick thing, because he was going into teaching and was afraid he'd get drug tested. Turns out he state of Texas doesn't drug test, for teachers at least, so he basically bought a limp dick strapon

Very bad jobs and very good jobs for the most part don't give a gently caress. Maybe donut hole isn't the right word. Gap. Whatever. It's only folks in the middle that have to worry about that.

I know a guy who got busted using a whizzinator and violated his probation because he borrowed his roommates. He was white and the roommate was black.

Lol.

And donut hole would probably be the right term to use. It's already used in talking about Medicare coverage for stuff.

I can see drug testing in very very specific and limited cases, but about a solid 99% of drug testing is straight horse poo poo. I got tested to work at an AT&T call center and why the hell they thkught that'd help their staffing no one will ever know.

I recently got a promotion at work and during the hiring process I had to submit to a credit check. I passed I guess because I got the job, but I did not loving appreciate calls a couple days later offering to consolidate my credit card debt. Thanks for selling my info assholes.

Drug testing is 100% bullshit for virtually any job because what you do on your own time shouldn't matter, The only things I'm even remotely sympathetic testing for are like truck drivers and pilots and similar jobs. Until we can figure out a way to on the spot test AND that test actually correlates to an impairment of mental/physical faculties they probably can't stop testing for those types of jobs.

But for like an accountant or IT or retail or whatever who the gently caress cares if you like to get blitzed on the weekend?

I agree with you, but I think a lot of businesses thinking is not " we only want people who don't do drugs" and more "we dont want you if you can't stop long enough to pass a test". Somebody who can't stop long enough to get a job is probably a poo poo employee.

Weed can be detected in your urine for like 60 days if you smoke 3 times a week and are fat and unlucky with the way your body metabolizes it. Longer if you’re an every day smoker.

Coke, is gone in like 72 hours even if you’re doing it all day every day.

Meth is gone in 24 hours.

Heroin is gone in 48 hours.

MDMA is around 72 hours as well.

LSD is detectable pretty much only while you are actively tripping.

It’s not a matter of being unable to stop, but of it taking forever and a day for this one specific drug to get out of your system even with use that’s on par with going out drinking a few times a week, a thing that’s totally accepted and normal with alcohol. But this is absolutely a derail, so I won’t keep posting my stoner outrage anymore. Sorry.

See, I always keep hearing about weed's longevity, so I decided to do a little non-scientific experiment. I don't really smoke alot of weed, but after one time (e-liquid smuggled in from Washington I believe) I decided to see what pee tests would say. THC went away after a few days but what was interesting was that PCP was in there, and was there for 2 weeks at least.

Weed builds up in your system because of the way it’s stored. If you only smoke rarely it’s also back to 48-72 hours until clear.
