I think the hair folicle test will eventually replace the urine test. Urine tests are easier to tamper with, either through dilution, or substitution, or masking. And no one really likes to work with urine, if there is another way.

What's your fascination with my fascination of this test? I would just like to know how widespread it is used. I don't know anybody who has been tested this way.

That is absolutely correct.

What other drugs can you detect with this method than MJ?

If you knew them on a more personal level, you would be able to tell something was wrong. Drug related or not.
People will make mistakes. Doctors, Policemen, Presidents, Everyone. How an employer deals with an empolyee making mistakes has to do with the severity or consequences of the mistake.

However, I think anyone would agree that taking drugs (illegal and legal, alike) can affect the decision making process. If an employer knows you are deliberatly impairing his investment, he has a right to take action.


Edit: removed stupid double negative

I don't do this test, so I don't know for sure. I would guess that most of the popular recreational drugs would be detected. The test wouldn't be economical if only one drug was detected.

Numerous drugs can be tested by the follicle method. if I had a comprehensive list I would post it for you. Suffice it to say that the majority of drugs you may take will find their way to your hair.

I completely agree.
Did you guys miss the post where I said I agreed with drug testing?
My point (besides just venting) was that it seems like larger companies do not know their employees. Which is understandable considering all the people you would have to get out and talk to. We've recently made a few changes in the management structure on my shift where I work. I think they have been very beneficial to the company. I guess I veered off the whole drug testing side of things for a bit. I am back on track now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No problemo. I agree that business gets pretty impersonal. The bigger the company, the more impersonal it gets.

They test at my workplace if an injury occurs. They don't test randomly anymore.
