They called me today and asked if I wanted to come back tomorrow.

Lol, it's because they changed their company policy toda for what they fired me for.

I got fired for the use of [redacted]. My state doesnt approve of it, but all the surrounding states do. The HQ that does the hiring is in one of those surrounding states though and it was dumb.

Pre-employment drug screening; I have been working there as a temp for about 6 months.

Probably. Maybe. Could be.

I hadn't smoked in a few months; I tried to make sure I could pee clean.

Moral of the story: Dont do it kids. Dont do it. Honestly what I've learned here is it could seriously fuck you over and it's not worth it. Dude in my apartment building got a notice this week that's evicting him for it.

Shits weak man.

Move to Canada, where its Federally legal and they have obviously come to the correct and sensible conclusion that this is not something worth testing or giving a shit about.

Id like to say that the US will get there eventually based on the direction the states are going, but were fucking stupid so who knows? What else can I say.

maybe it was a surprise test. there's no warning.
still BS what that job did. as long as one isn't smoking it up on the job it's okay

there's other drugs that make one much more impaired tbh.

You should go back TC. Don't be a proud dumbass. Just demand a $2 or $5 increase for the trouble, see what happens and if they're cool then hey it's all good since it was a stupid fucking policy to begin with and they at least acknowledged it by hiring you back.

Besides, do you really want to go through unemployment and spend all week looking for jobs and shit? I thought so

I don't like to toot my own horn; but literally everyone there thinks I'm the best temp they've ever had. Looking around, I'm the prime pick for the new wave of Full timers.

It's a team of 7 full timers, and they've been cycling through temps left and right. I'm not a slouch at work.

It's a distillery, we mass produce booze. You kinda want to keep an eye on addicts in that situation. [Redacted] is not actually addictive though.

What I did on Halloween as a special event shouldnt have effected me 3 months later imo, but I'm still not doing it again. I did it rarley anyways, might as well just not do it anymore.

It isn't even about that.

They contacted you. That means they felt the pain of your presence not being there.
You could be shit at your job and still ask for a pay raise in this circumstance.

lmao yes it is. i'm addicted and dependent on it myself. and you can just say weed, you know?

it's still rarded tho. the amount of people that turn up to drive heavy machinery on construction sites while hungover is way higher than you think. you won't get fired for that, but you will for having a toke last night. drug policies are an inconsistent fucking joke.

Nope, not where my brain went at all. Try rereading post #14 sir. Thank you.

I knew about it, quit well before hand and still got sucked. Please see the above response.

Yea... it isnt addictive except mentally. That's a you problem. I only do it on special occasions though, so its extra dumb. But it's still a fact that it could easily bite you in the ass.

Therein is the problem. The more you use the more it sets in. If you keep it to once in a while that's cool too and you're definitely not going to end up with an addiction like that so it's whatever. I enjoy it, I just wish I wasn't addicted.

But in terms of drug addictions and withdrawals, weed is on the pretty pathetic side of things. Just a couple days of irritability and sleeplessness. Don't get me started on opioids. Jesus christ, never touch them. They fucked my life up.

Wait, what? Is he being kicked out for using it. Or evicted because he's smoking in the building which obviously you shouldn't be allowed to do.
