Should be illegal except safety sensitive professions:
1) Pilot
2) Bus driver
3) Nuclear workers
4) etc.
Random drug testing at the job is against our rights to privacy. It is NO employers concern if Joe the Plumber smokes a joint OFF duty. Testing positive for a drug does not suggest impairment. I could smoke a joint tonight and fail a drug test next Thursday --- even though I'm not stoned on Thursday. Yet if I did some heroin tonight I could take a drug test on Monday and pass. Cocaine? No problemo -- that is out of your system quick too. Smoke a little pot though and expect at least 2 weeks if not 4. Employers should fire people based upon performance. Not the results of a positive THC (pot) urine test.
Yet booze --- in all its evils ---- is 100% okay!
Hilarious.

In most jobs they drug test strictly for insurance purposes.
Say you are a janitor and you step out and puff. You come back in and forget to put out the Wet Floor sign while you mop the floor. It is a simple mistake, one that you could have made whether you smoked or you didn't, but someone busts their ass and sues. If you are found to have been smoking the person suing is going to take your company to the cleaners. It is the same if you have been found to be drinking.
So, for insurance purposes, it makes sense to drug test the janitor.

Originally posted by CliffLandinThankfully blood and hair testing is not used commonly, and its more expensive
heroin, weed, coke and x can be found in a blood test weeks after use. there are even some piss tests which will detect coke or x as much as a week after use.

Originally posted by jlillyLike i said, it is for insurance purposes only. I have gone to many job's stoned and have bartended both drunk and stoned. Fortunately nothing happened, but since the insurance companies run the country we are subjected to this kind of crap.
Thankfully urine tests are easy enough to fool. Nobody at a regular job should be subjected to this crap.

Originally posted by irontigranI've never had to, I think they do it for high security government jobs. I'm pretty sure most drug tests are piss test. The Aspen Skiing Company does a blood test if you wreck a piece of equipment.

Originally posted by irontigranYeah, hair tests are used. But they're not very common due to expense. Also, the hair must be longer than 2'' I have read. If you have a short hair cut it makes testing difficult.

Originally posted by jlillyand that brings up a good question. who should it be used on? if you have a real good job (say, lawyer) then you shouldnt have to do it as youre smart and reasonable. but say you work at mcdonalds. well, then theyre setting the bar rather high, and if i worked at a dump all day i deserve to do crack (or more likely am working there as i was too cracked out for school)
