I can pass any drug test as well.

Just for the record here my previous post about passing a drug test
was posted because I did smoke a joint on new years eve
and I had a potential job lead which may have tested me .

I am not able to drink alchohol as I am sure so many of you who posted negativley Did on new years eve , due to a liver ailment.

I Dont smoke every day or even every month just on occasion
and I do believe if we look at statistics
you could honestly say that
deaths from driving drunk are much higher than driving while high on pot
Ive never smoked so much that I puke or was sick half the next day
Ive never heard of anyone dying from a pot over dose .

Honestly I dont care what all of the people who posted ICANPASSAPISSTESTIMSOPROUD friggin care not every job worrys about what you do on your own time so long as the job gets done .

Good luck with your job search. I say "luck" because in my line of business, we take great pains to find drug users and kick them out. Sometimes it's unfortunate as we'll lose a hard worker with an addiction, but the flying business and drugs don't mix even when it's during "off duty" time.

I honestly hope you find a safe and non-critical job because I sure as hell wouldn't want to risk my bellybutton at mach 2 riding code you've worked on.

Nothing personal, I just value my skin more than I value your desire to do drugs.

Dude the guy smoked one joint. Have you ever smoked a joint? It's not so big a deal. No bigger than getting drunk.

Kieran · « **Reply #23 on:** January 12, 2003, 08:50:12 PM »

Funked-

I assume you weren't directing that at me?

funkedup · « **Reply #24 on:** January 12, 2003, 08:58:49 PM »

I apologize to slipping in to California dialect. I was using the plural form of dude.

Kieran · « **Reply #25 on:** January 12, 2003, 09:01:23 PM »

Ah! That would be "Dudes!"

Anyway... it doesn't matter how I feel about it, my corporation would fire me in a heartbeat... along with anyone even remotely connected to kids (including janitors, grounds keepers, office personnel, you name it). It ain't just about the work getting done here.

funkedup · « **Reply #26 on:** January 12, 2003, 09:03:04 PM »

No, you can use "dude" to address multiple dudes. I told you it was local dialect.

Agreed Funked, but two points if I may-
1) Drug testing is a fact of life and, unfortunately, the pot test tells your pot history for the previous three or four weeks instead of on the job performance and
2) If Rickod says he's a casual user who can either take it or leave it then why in the world would he smoke dope knowing he might have to take a drug test???

I have a bit of advice for the drug users among us- Quit doing your drug of choice for three months. If YOU control IT instead of IT controlling YOU then this shouldn't be a problem. If you CAN'T quit, then I'm afraid it IS a big deal Funked...at least as big of a deal as someone who can't put down the booze and is drunk almost every day.

I'm not saying addiction isn't bad (it is), I'm just saying having one doobie is no worse than getting drunk on New Years eve. Neither is a sign of addiction.

Actually the test he took was an oral swab that only works for about 24 hours. It's pretty much a test to see if you are high at the time of the test, the ultimate sign of an addict.

Either he didn't know or he ate too many Tard Flakes that morning.

Obviously Funked has a problem and is in denial about it!

I think he should QUIT his addiction!!

BTW, his addiction(s) is for bad football teams

, really, I mean really, ugly cars, wanting to look like sling.........

That's just to get it started...please feel free to add....
