If a guy drinks every night, employers don't care. If he smokes a little weed and watches anime, then that's too far and he deserves to lose his job?

Its legal in California now but employers still fire people over it.

I think its because if they catch it in your system then they have the right to assume you are high while on the job.

If they tested for alcohol metabolites, does it mean you came to work drunk on Saturday morning after having a couple drinks on Friday night?

You realize the reason it's illegal is so police could arrest black men, yet look the other way for white men, right? It was never because it was dangerous or unhealthy.

I'm sorry, but I don't feel bad for people who smoke weed. It's an addiction and if you can't go without smoking, that's on you.

At least we can both agree it's BS that you were arrested over it.

I've heard that it's less of a test of if you smoke weed at all and more testing you to see if you can at least stop for a few days.

I mean if you can't stop smoking weed for even like two days (for non-medical reasons) and try all those fake pee techniques then I imagine a lot of places might not see you as a responsible person.

It's more responsible to smoke weed every night after business is taken care of, than to drink every night.

They don't "deserve" to be fired, no, unless it can somehow be proven to negatively effect their performance it should be not be a basis to fire someone.

That's still an addiction if you can't go without smoking for a few days. If you can't show a little restraint to not smoke weed, why should anyone feel bad? I will never understand the obsession. That shit stinks and makes people and their homes stink.

Why do you need to "show a little restraint" if it's your day off from work and you want to watch anime and kick back?

You'd only need to stop for like a day or so to take the drug test and satisfy your prospective employer. Then you can resume all you want, chances you won't be tested again. If you refuse to even stop for a day and you don't need it medically I think some people might raise an eyebrow.

To be fair, drinking can get you fired too. Where I'm at, you get put on a breathalyzer too for a random (drug test).

Of course, the difference is that it's pretty hard to get fired over a breathalyzer, even if you have to get a 0.0 reading. You can drink a 6 pack the night before, night ending at 10-11 pm, and pass a breathalyzer in the morning around 8 am.

No its not.

Weed is against federal law making it illegal everywhere in the United States of America. The federal government have just chosen not to enforce the law since, while still a drug, it isn't as bad as stuff like heroin. If they wanted to shut down all the "legal" pot shops in America they could do that in a day and there would be absolutely nothing the states could do about it.

Its also ridiculous that people are so ignorant about pot. Aside from the study that just came out that says that yes pot IS addictive, do people not understand basic biology? There is no such thing as healthy smoke when it comes to the human lungs. ALL smoke is bad smoke. Many doctors even say smoking pot is worse for you then cigarettes because pot smokers have a habit of holding the smoke in longer, thus damaging your lungs even more.

That isn't true. THC stays in your system for weeks. A heavy weed smoker will need 30 days to pass a drug test.

I'm guessing that is for the heaviest of heavy weed smokers. Well in that case guess you have to stop for 30 days, then you can resume smoking every night for years. It's not the end of the world. Either that, or apply for a different job.

It still stays in your system for weeks even after light usage, no where near a couple days.

A month is normal for everyday usage, even at levels most California people would consider light.

If the alcohol is still in your system, yeah, they'll generally consider it in a similar way.

Because it's still a substance. Are you saying you can't hold off for a few days? Come on.

It depends on the context of the job; but if it comes down to driving or operating machinery, I wouldn't want to work with either.

No. 2 weeks for someone who rarely smokes, 30-45 days for someone who regularly smokes.

It was banned originally because it was seen as a rival to tobacco which used to be a massive industry in early America. Later they added some racism factors to it. The reason its popular name is Marijuana instead of calling it Cannabis was to make people think about Hispanics and associate the drug with immigrants

Would you say having a beer every night or every couple of days is an addiction too?
