Ok, so I just have to say- I think it should be f'ing illegal for these employers to make you "pass a drug test" before they can hire you. What the fuck? So, what? I like to smoke a little weed- what business is that of theirs? That's a big violation of my right to privacy and I think some of these employers should get sued out of their ass for making people do this. Now, if I show up to work and I'm high as hell- then yeah- I could understand firing somebody for that- but making them take a drug test just to GET the job is completely out of line. It's an abuse of power.
drug tests are very rare up here in canada....i would have been fucked if we had them here like in the states ...i just read somewhere 66% of canadians have smoked weed...are they folicle tests...blood...urine?
Drug tests are all too common in the US, you need to pass one for most minimum wage (coprorate business, almost all business) jobs and it is complete bullshit. If you are just in high school (and potheads) get a job at a local business. I've had a factory job where they wanted a sample within a few months; They expected you to go to a lab on your free time. Kitchen jobs are good, show up to work high as hell and get higher while working with your work friends. Although, a test can easily be tricked. Search how to "crotch" some clean urine. If you wear 2 pairs of tight-whites with some piss in between them under your sac (chics in your vag, nature's pocket) the urine will stay around body temperature, essential to passing a basic non-lab instant test as it will know the temp. With the right size bottle (travel size shampoo bottle) and a slight amount of practice it is easily pulled off. If you don't know where to get some clean piss: man up, ask your drug-free parental figure to supply some. Better than fucking up the test, you will have some income. Personally I have done this with positive effects. My dad was just like, "okay, I don't even want to hear you've been smoking multiple times a day for years, give me that cup." Unless you are clean, a dirt minimum wage job isn't even worth the trouble. If the job is really desirable to you do some research, use your head, and get the job. Once in build a positive reputation.
My friend has another way of passing, lol. It's pretty funny. Like, He says to brings in like a friend that's clean and pretty much make him take the piss test for you. He says like "Just bring a friend with you to the interview- one that's clean- get him to wait in the bathroom and when you go to piss- have him do it instead and bring the cup back to them and then mission accomplished- you passed the drug test" He says that you should pay your friend though for going through the trouble of doing it- pay him like 20 bucks or something.

It's pointless...like it's really screening out drug users from non-drug users to any significant degree.
