Dangers of being a smoker and having to drive a company car

Sorry if this was the wrong part of the forum.

I have to drive a company car for work. I drive it for multiple hours per day, which means that sooner or later its more than likely i will have a fender bender at some point. I haven't been smoking since i've started the job, and as sad as it is to say, the job itself is making me miserable. I'm working 50 hours per week on top of going to classes and having financial issues is really stressing me out. It is also making my home life difficult. My wife has a hard time looking forward to me coming home from work when im a grumpy ass all day.



I've gotten past my preliminary test, and i've stopped smoking just in case i get into an accident for work. But just to reiterate its really bringing down my quality of home life. Does anyone here drive a company car for work? Does anyone know common procedure when you get into an accident? I've thought about keeping a bottle of monkey whiz at my house, but if i were in an accident that wouldnt really help me. i'd have to be able to retrieve the bottle AND get it warm before the test. Does anyone here drive a company car and still smoke while getting around the legal issues? any advice much appreciated. Also worth noting that this isn't JUST a job. It's a career, i want to stay at this company.
Quit acting like a fancy pants and light that fire.

If your willing to man up to the consequences then i dont see nothing wrong? honestly, I'd just quit smoking if it's required to establish a better life for you and your wifes future.

Back in the mid 80's I got a job with the city of Durham NC. I already had my 2 best friends working there and I knew it was a great place work because if they hadn't fired those two knuckleheads it must have been a great place to work. In The early 90's
they started talking about random drug testing and they instituted a drug testing policy shortly thereafter. Well my friends and I were freaking out worried about what we'd do If our number came up. We worked in a testing lab at a waste water plant. We studied how the tests were performed what methods were used and we quickly came to find there were only 2 ways to beat the system #1 abstain from smoking weed or #2 consume mass quantities of water prior to the tests. Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet so
We were left to our own devices. We read high times and thinking back on it I don't remember anything about synthetic urine.
So we made the decision for one of us to abstain from weed for 60 days and he would supply the other 2 of us with clean urine. We drew straws and the ( winner or loser) depending on how you looked at it was chosen. There were concessions made from the other 2 that made it easier for the urine supplier. Well long story short we all had a small playmate cooler that we kept clean frozen urine in that we brought with us to work every single day. We worked there together for over 10 more years and not one time were we ever tested. We all left the lab and went to work at different plants during the ensuing years but remained with the city The testing policy had a kind of loophole if our number came up they gave us 24 hours to go the the testing facility but if you were involved in an accident you were sent immediately. As time progressed we threw away our frozen urine and all purchased synthetic urine.
Well all three of us retired from the city. As a whole we were tested 4 times in the years the city had instituted the drug testing policy and of course we always passed and the funny thing was everyone knew all three of us smoked every single day . What may have helped us was the fact that we were very good at what we did. Most of the people we saw terminated over the years from failing the drug tests were the stereotypical stoners it's a sad thing to say but it was true. We soon realized that if they wanted to get you they'd keep testing you till they got a positive......there were no random tests
Anyway that is the way 3 dope smoking friends managed to never get caught and continued to get high right up to the time we retired and believe you me......We smoked a lot of weed !

thats a nice success story. I wish i could have one like it. I think im just getting ready to admit defeat and give up smoking. I'll miss it a lot but theres a lot of driving in my career, and sooner or later im sure i'll have a fender bender and I dont want it to cost me everything just because marijuana is treated like the devils herb. I suppose i'll just have to wait for our society to turn itself around and legalize. I'd be willing to just keep some synthetic on me and play by my wits, but if i get into an accident im sure i would have to test immediately.

i know evil tricks
the one that works every time .......u get in the fender bender u get out of the car check on everyone make sure is ok ....(u act shaken up and to calm yourself u open a bottle kept in the car take a shot of jack or something in front of everyone after the cars have stopped moving ) .....this will keep them from giving u a breath test (they can not prove u were drunk) ask a lawyer one told me to do this

2nd one is the whizzinator
http://www.thewhizzinator.com/
put the first aid kit somewhere in your stuff .......my buddy worked for the DOD for 3 years with random test .....that kit is what he kept in the car (they tap on shoulder tell go to testing site pee in cup) he kept the job until the work was done

as for driving while stoned ....they have made up some crazy ass rules about it .......if u are a chronic smoker like me the lvls of THC in my blood stream is higher then the legal limits and i will go to jail for DUI/DWI .........right now the only way they can get 100% court worthy info is to give u a blood test (to get around that u say jehovah witness it is against my tenants to give blood) it will stop them right there and it can not be used against u .......i have used this

but watch out i heard that CO is working on a breath test to give with it being legal in that state

I wouldnt be driving while high. Just when i get home from work. I thought about keeping a whiz kit around, but i drive multiple cars for work. It just wouldnt be feasible.

ok then just say u were in a legal state/area had some smoke .........unless there is a contract with a clause saying no weed not a damn thing they can do to yah legally

as for the wizz kit put it in the work area your locker/office desk in a little lock box (they would need a warrent to open it as long as u keep it locked)
