Guys, I've had such a laugh tonight. It's 2 am here and I get silly tired / stoned at this time of night. Had a bit of my white Russian. About to sweat it out ( I'm feverish) just thinking of my new crew!! ;)

Yeah I don't understand why they still do this in MMJ states anyways.. Or at least test for marijuana specifically. Its stupid. If your qualified for the job, and will do it correctly, the intake of substances shouldn't mean jack shit to them.

At the same time, if you care enough about your job you are trying to get, you should be able to stop smoking for a little prior just in case they decide to be unnecessary.

wait i'm confused


if you live in a medical state and are legal, will you still get fired for weed showing up on a piss test? Does the law protect you from losing your job if you have a medical prescription/doctors note?


Is it left up to the employer's discretion?

Went to an interview today for work out in Dutch Harbor Alaska and i get there and they want a fucking drug test. I have done the work before (experienced) and there is no access to drugs in this line of work and even though i am a MMJ patient in California i am looked down upon as a "useless stoner".

Im also more experienced than half the people being interviewed and some people can barely speak english, this is unacceptable when foreigns can take work away from people more suited to the work than they are and are AMERICAN.

Our government is a fucking joke and the fact people are still so stupid about marijuana really upsets me.

"The american dream" what a joke.

Sorry to hear that. Try what my friend did, I was surprised as fuck! Interview for the job anyway, when they call you back to tell you you failed the drug test, get mad, mad enough and ask them "OK, so what? I'm more experienced than half the interviewees, I'm committed to my job, I don't smoke on the job, I use MMJ for medical purposes. I can call the state Attorney General if you'd like because this is simple discrimination. It's medicine and I use it as such".

They were so shocked at that response they offered him the job. Just be assertive and demand it or you're going to the state. It'll scare them into submission!

Worth a shot, the shit blew me away when he was telling me, but the logic is sound, think of it like any other medicine you'd get, consider if they didn't hire you based on something like Oxy's.. You'd have a FAT case against them, just bring it up, nothing else to lose...

sooooo what happened to the guy who's job fishing was taken by non-english speaking fisherman? I didn't realize people from other countries could fish and pass a piss test?

Why didn't you just do whatever you had to do to pass the test? I would have assumed i would be piss tested and been prepared for this great job but that's just me.

P.s. How is it that 18 year olds qualify for medical marijuana anyway? And you are healthy enough to do hard labor. I'd give almost anything to be 18 again. No offense but cases like this is why mmj is not taken seriously by main stream imo. :eyesmoke:

possibly hes using mmj to relive pain from manual labor?
