Are you drug tested at work?

Yes, we are drug tested at work. Just recently a new substance abuse policy has been put in place, effective July 1st. And IMO and others at my employer that don't do any amount of drugs think it is a bunch of BS. For one thing, the pay rate doesn't equal or warrant the controlling the personal lives of employees and what they do in their own home on their own time. Sure you have a few who may get high at work. Those people are usually exposed as such and dealt with. But those are very few and far inbetween.

How can anyone expect a person who smokes a joint 2 to 3 times a month in their own home to agree to 1 mos. in-patient treatment w/o pay. That's crazy. Do people think a person is a alcoholic if they drink 2 to 3 six packs a mos. of beer? But, yet a person who decides to smoke a joint once in a awhile gets treated as the drug abuser. It makes no amount of sense.

What really pisses me off is that person who regularly uses cocaine or meth can be clean in 3 days and have twice the amount in their system (100ng) than what a person who uses marijuana does (50ng) to test positive on a drug screening.
