JCrowssley, OMG bra, I'm so happy jbird responded. I have spent the last hour trying to understand what the finer points of a certain company's drug-testing policies are and you stick your head in and ruin my entire day. Eph you! Do you really think that anyone/everyone who uses an illicit drug acts like a "crackhead?" Do you understand the reasons why some drugs are made "legal" and thus taxed and why some drugs (that you yourself probably use unless you are vegan) remain ooooooo scary illicit status thus blackmarket and untaxed? I know a lot of people Eph their entire lives up on drugs but those people will be with humanity FOREVER. FOREVER. Better we evolve our understanding of addiction, not pass judgement, and work hard at a better system for human capital management outflows than the "FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, JUSTICE, AND PUNISHMENT." Unless of course we are into privatization and bloodthirsty capitalism. By all means, then, have at society's sickest for profit. D&CK.
Jobs are just like relationships...given a choice between a loving educated responsible man who does not do drugs and a loving educated responsible man who does do drugs (though I don't think that exist but will say so just out of your theory)....I would choose the former...maybe companies are as wise as people for once
You really think there is no such thing as a loving, educated, and responsible man who uses recreational drugs? It is NOT wise to lump people together into stereotypical groups like that. It is equally unwise to not see the flaws in conventional life. I agree, if it's the only way somebody can get a job, the job should take priority over recreational drugs, however to judge somebody without knowing anything about them other than the fact that they use drugs is ignorant and close-minded. Also, there are lots of harder drugs than weed that are accepted, even justified by people that are "anti-drug". Alcohol is much more dangerous, and more impairing than marijuana, but they aren't going to test you for that!
