Are you drug tested at work?

[Skip Towne]

Which drugs do they test for? How often?

Yer talking about the whizinator here, aren't you?

I haven't been tested, but can at any time, and MUST if involved in any type of accident.

I wouldn't care either, since I'm not a hippy dope smoker or a meth monkey.

You've heard wrong. That test has become much cheaper and is becoming more widely used by larger companies all the time.

That's TMI? Dude, I buy all the narcotics, along with the rest of the drugs, for a hospital. How the hell is that TMI? I mean, SOMEONE has to do it, unless of course you prefer that if you are ever hospitalized and in severe pain, we just turn the television on, flip over to Oral Roberts, let you lay your hands on the screen and see if he can heal you.

Let the street dudes in to compete with you. They'll beat your prices.

Given the going rate for narctics on the street I can tell you that's highly unlikey. I can buy a box of 10 Demerol 100mg injections for about $12.00. Morphine runs about the same price. I can also tell you that the cocaine I purchase is top grade. No one on the street has better snow white than I can buy.

Reading comprehension 101: I'm not talking about what you pay for it. I'm talking about what you charge for it. You know, the $5 aspirin tablets you sell.

I've said this a few time before. For Pre employment testing...NO! I feel this violates the 4th and 5th amendments. For cause after being hired, yes.

Just about every drug is out of your system in 24 to 72 hrs other than marijuana. So it's biased in that regard. I consider MJ to be the lesser of all evils.

We no longer sell $5.00 aspirin. The vast majority of our oral meds are priced at roughy 10 cents a piece, regardless of what we pay for them, except Tylenol, which we give away for free at my hospital. They rape you on room and bed charges instead.

I agree, however, anybody that is not union can be fired for cause drugs or not.

That is horribly incorrect. Drugs bind to certain parts of your body, i.e. your hair follicles, and until that follicle falls out, you have traces of the drug "on you" as opposed to "in you."
