Of course the effects have worn off, but that is not what employers are looking for and that seems to be the issue here. While you may not care what people do in their off hours, many employers do.
Sorry, but whether you care what people do or don't do is irrelevant in this situation and indeed, any situation involving an employer wanting a drug test where you are not the employer. The bottom line still amounts to whether or not the drug is legal in the state you are in. If it isn't, then you are breaking the law, regardless of whether or not you think it should be legal. Obviously, for some, smoking marijuana is more important than getting or keeping a job, not to mention the whole effort to detox so you can pass the test is dishonest. Or is honesty something employers shouldn't be interested in either?
I have had the same job since 1995. This is for a part time job. If I am misunderstanding you, please forgive me, but you seem to have some holier than thou attitude about this, as if I am some reefer madness broad who is sitting around, smoking pot and allowing others to take care of me.
The job I have now tests new employees. The part time one I would like to get does that now also. I have been friends with folks that work for them for 30 years or more, and they were hired before the testing began at that job.
Anal sex and giving head are illegal many places, as are many other things that most of us here like to do.
I am not being dishonest or trying to screw an employer into hiring a drug addict. I am wanting to be an asset to their company, and I happen to know for a fact that whether or not I smoke a lil weed on weekends does not, in any way, affect my ability to be that asset.
I have not said, nor implied you are some "reefer madness broad." Nor do I believe that you can't be an asset to their company. Neither of those things matter, just as your view that marijuana should be legalized is irrelevant. At this point in time, it is not. You are not only willing, but fully intending to be dishonest by trying to "fool" a drug test.
I don't believe I am acting "holier than thou," but I do admit that marijana, contrary to NORML's implied claims, is the be all/end all of medical therapy and in fact, a good number of the people who want it for their "condition" ignore the reality that it is contraindicated for their condition, as well as the reality that so many people with prescriptions really don't have a health problem that warrants the prescription.
Are you really going to sit there with your "holier than thou" attitude and state that you aren't intending to attempt to be dishonest by trying to "detox" for the drug test?
