>Be me >Work in DC >A coworker goes to visit family >His family lives in Colorado >Weed is entirely legal in Colorado >100% legal, nobody cares >Legal to smoke, eat, cook with and use anyway you want >Guy comes back to DC after visit with family >He smoked a little weed, and had some pot cookies his mom made while he was there >We all get a wiz quiz >He pisses hot >He loses job Seriously, what the fuck... This shit is getting silly. How the fuck does this work? Visit family who live in an area where weed is legal throughout the entire state, come back and get in trouble for doing something in a state where you wont get in trouble? Whaaaat??
Anons, how can we go about getting this shit fixed?
It will never happen so long as Americans elect democrats or republicans.
Joshua Harris
Collective action. If on a national level everyone decided not to participate in drug tests, the monied interests would have no choice but to not drug test. Good fucking luck tho.
Adrian Richardson
woaaaah tell me more how both major parties are fucked
Mason Phillips
I'm fine with weed being legal. But you should be required to take a drug test before you're allowed to vote in any election.
Fair? Democracy is shit enough without a drugged out population voting retarded california-tier policies into law.
Joseph Peterson

Nathan Watson
corporations hold power over your head when you sign your rights away, there's no answer other than find a job that has more to worry about than what their employees do on their off time
Brandon Kelly
It is against the federal law. If he knew he had to pass a drug test he should have been much more careful in Colorado.
CBD can make you pop positive too.
Congress needs to act. They need to reclassify pot. Instead of waxing poetically about farting cows and trillion dollar green new deals they should reclassify pot.
Mason Richardson
Lmfao.. imagine being op and not knowing the difference between company policy and the law
Jayden Wood
How about just property owners with children? These people have a stake in the future of our country.
Nolan Lee
or just don't do drugs? What kind of a baby are you?
Leo Allen
European male property owners only, as it originally was.
Kevin Wilson
Different states. Different laws. On purpose. There is no fix because it's not broken, you big government fuck.
Adrian Baker
Sooo.. Does that same company follow those same laws in Colorado??
I mean, how does it work in places like California, and Colorado, and other places? It's fucking legal?
How does that work though? You go to a state where it's completely legal, and while your in a state where it's legal, you smoke some weed, no big deal, or eat a cookie with weed in it.
Then you go back to a shitty state, where it is actually illegal.. how the fuck does that work user? It either needs to be legal nationwide, which I have no problem with, or not legal at all. There are too many blurry lines and gray areas that don't make any logical sense
Aaron Jenkins
>how can we go about getting this shit fixed? Don't do drugs.
Jack Thomas
user, I don't. I'm talking about other people. And honestly, and quite frankly, I think alcohol is far worse than weed. But alcohol has a pretty fast half life, and is in and out of your system pretty quick.
Evan Campbell
>you big government fuck user... um.. what the fuck are you talking about?
Logan Wood
"How do we fix this." There is no fix, since it isn't broke. The implication is to give MORE power to the federal government, which always works out for the worse.
Matthew Reyes
Don't smoke weed, faggot. It's not like you are forced to just because it's legal somewhere else. Cringe.
Kevin Murphy
I work for a middle market firm and we don’t have drug tests. I wish we did though. There’s too many cokeheads. I’ve no problem with responsible cannabis use, but some drugs are just plain degenerate.
Camden Gutierrez
Other people shouldn't do drugs.
Adrian Flores
Work at a place that drug tests, use weed anyways, get fired. My surprise
Jacob Walker
sounds like it is a company policy issue and not a state issue.
>made mandatory in the 80's, beforehand it was rare to be asked to take a piss test >corporations are forced to do this because of the law >straight laced people think that drug testing is OK because they dont do it >what they dont realize is passing a piss test is easy for hard drug users, especially when they know when they will be tested >this gives people the false illusion of control over who gets hired and who doesnt >the only people who get locked out of the job market where piss testing is required are cannabis smokers, who are in the majority of users >our job market has a lot of people being locked out of positions due to this >this fuels a billion dollar industry, that is literally all a charade >states that legalize cannabis effectively entrap people by telling them its ok to smoke, but you won't be able to get a decent job >many of the higher positions are held by people who do all kinds of hard drugs that leave your system in 48 hours >I have personally witnessed lower level execs be denied ranking positions due to cannabis use, and cocaine addicts be granted that position
I haven't smoked in 10 years, but I can't help but feel bad for guys that I've seen as harder working and more deserving of better pay, while some coke addict gets way too much money to spend on his addiction.
If Trump wants to BTFO liberals in 2020, decriminalize and deschedule cannabis. It will turn this clown world upside down
Kevin Williams
Does this include >Opioids >Alcohol >Cigarettes >Psychiatric Stimulants ?
I mean, these are all drugs right user? You see what happened, is we made them something called >Legal that's why if you drink now, you don't get arrested and go to prison, it's why if you doctor prescribes you a lortab for some wrist pain or a sore tooth, you don't go to jail.
That's the magic in making something legal user. You see, when it's legal, you no longer get in trouble for using it anymore. You get it now user? And the problem arises, when something is legal in one state, but then not the next state over. It causes a lot of issues.
As an american citizen you are well within your rights to drive to a country, or perhaps another state where marijuana is legal, and as long as it's legal where you did it, you technically have broken NO laws. Please tell me you see the issue now, for the love of god tell me your not that god damn stupid user. I've basically spelled out the issue for you like you were a toddler
>potheads being disposed of for being degenerates And nothing of value was lost
Blake Butler
I mean if the company you work for doesn't want to employ people who use drugs then don't do drugs.
Isaac Torres
You can stop smoking weed like spics and niggers do and there won't be any problems.
Liam Collins
Employers need to fuck off with drug testing for weed, like their establishments are so fucking prestigious that you can't handle the job if you smoke when you get home.
Andrew Butler
I think those drug tests are really weird. It invades your privacy. It's nobody else's business what you do outside of work hours. Don't they need to know if you get fucked by people with HIV too?
Being on drugs during work is completely unacceptable of course, but that's not tested.
Jayden Wright
Federal law dictates that pot is illegal. Every state can say otherwise but until federal law is changed every pot smoker is basically castrating themselves.
Isaac Bennett
Screening for pot use is used to mitigate shitty candidates that even shittier barrel-assed HR mopes wave through the process and into a job.
Take your friend, for instance. If you are subject to testing, you don't smoke it, period. It's utter stupidity to think that being in a legal state when you smoked it gives you a get out of jail free card anywhere you go.
It's unlikely that you're in a job where you had zero idea this could come, though you may add that now to buttress your indignant rage even though it probably isn't true.
Legalizing pot was a mistake - it's a stupid decision of stupid electorates. There's a reason it was illegal in the first place, and there's a reason that t.he Federal government gives no credit for state laws borne of initiative processes that replicate in their sophistication an 8th grade civics projects.
To think sporadic legalization somehow reflects some righteous, erudite wisdom that will carry dude weed types right past the squares and the uptights who still hold sway reflects the kind of judgment that no company that tests for drugs - for whatever reason - would ever want in its work flow.
>violate company policy >lose job This. If we're going to allow faggots to bugger each other in front of their adopted children, we have to acknowledge the consent between adults that is the employee/employer relationship.
Eli Mitchell
That would be a good argument if the federal government enforced immigration law in sanctuary cities.
Benjamin Hill
Weed is legal in DC. It's the corporations that are fucked.
Isaac Collins
I used to work in a very large construction union. They shifted away from using piss tests to using saliva tests because they didn't give a fuck if you were using drugs on your own time, but they didn't want anyone working high. Weed is only detectable in saliva for up to 48 hours.
Owen Phillips
I smoked weed for 12 years.
Only caused depression.
I quit a year ago and feel amazing and free.
Go fuck yourself. Keep it illegal.
Nathan Evans
I've seen the brochures for those tests, hard drugs get detected up to 48 hours, THC is 12.
Adrian Powell
I think his point was that you can smoke somewhere in the US and then back home you get in trouble for having done that because there you can't.
The real complaint should be those tests.
Adrian Robinson
As soon as there is a piss test that can identify if you are an illegal immigrant then your problem would make more sense. I remember a story a few years ago about a doctor who went out of country to buy pot for legal sales back in CA. As soon as he got back in the airport he was arrested and spent some time in prison. Have no source but the point is it isn't even worth going after it anymore.
Ryder Myers
>Weed is only detectable in saliva for up to 48 hours. Only? That means you can't smoke weed Saturday night and work Monday morning.
Carter Bennett
That's another bad argument. I'm not trying to be an asshole, but you need to rethink it. C'mon, a piss test for illegal immigration? DHS has facial and fingerprint scanners that are essentially piss tests in the back of their vehicles.
Hudson Lee
In NV weed tests are illegal except for a few certain jobs.
Bentley Lewis
>fuck civilization >fuck my people >fuck life >gibs weed dad
>more I wasn't aware the fedgov was not in control of pot in the US and beyond
Samuel Gonzalez
Your friend is dumb as fuck if he couldn't see this coming. I'm a supervisor. If one of my direct reprots travels to Colorado (especially if it's a lazy fuck, like most potheads) I'm going to send him to piss in a cup the day he gets back. Tough shit. Wanna be a dopehead? Move to a dope state. I don't want a lazy, irresponsible, selfish fuckhead endangering others on my production floor.
Henry Cook
I work for a large globohomo engineering firm. I got randomly drug tested a few months ago and tested positive for pot. My boss (and HR) couldn’t give two shits (and my boss said he’d probably fail for weed too).
Cooper Myers
Do those scanners identify whether you are illegal or legal and withing minutes of going through the legal process? I'm not saying I agree with the way things are, I'm just saying that that is where the problem is for op.
Carter Parker
*cracks open 6th bud light
Jackson Green
lmao at counting Irish and Italians
Jonathan Jenkins
It's not eve true legalization anyways. Most states only allow 6-12 plants, one more than the allowed limit is a felony. Same with possession, anything over 5 ounces is a felony.
Jaxson Allen
Still get canned for hot piss in colorado.
Most jobs only test if its a safety issue.
Big companies get better insurance rates if they do piss test so its corporate policy.
As for me? I will never piss in a cup for anyone. A man should be judged by the quality of his work, not the quality of his piss.
Jose Turner
U first
Josiah Perez
So fire him for being a bad employee then dickhead. Fuck you piece of human fucking shit.
Austin Hernandez
Based boomer
Kevin Barnes
How many decades have Democrats cried legalize it? Meanwhile it was only a few years ago it happen. A few states have fucked it up with ridiculous taxes and excluding retail sale, not to mention limits on possession.
Hudson Turner
The problem is a cokehead can stop using coke for a few days and piss clean. You could drop acid every other night and always pass your test. You smoke pot regularly and it can take a couple months.
Hunter Gutierrez
*downs his 5th Aderal for the day
Grayson Lee
>opens his 3 cig pack of the day
Nathaniel Wilson
Its almost like Colorado is shit meme state people only know about because of skiing/south park and weed should still be illegal because all you fake retards who make up stories like this will never put the same effort into a productive hobby or job or evolve mentally.
Xavier Ross
Hurrrr drink and call in sick cause you have a hang over DURRRRRRRR but nope thats a fucking ok.
Hudson Green
I with you that's the best policy. My job has drug tests o ly when your hired and if you get hurt on the job. Other than that if they tested randomly most of their employees would be fired.
Carson Jackson
>Chugs his 9th bottle of soda for the day.
Caleb Nguyen
>complains about not being able to work every day Lazy?
Christian Bell
I for one would like to thank our Corporate Overlords for their interest in my health and well being.
Evan Foster
Oh no, I guess that means you shouldn't smoke it, then.
Michael Kelly
Your brainwashed. Pot does not make people lazy. Pot does not make you stupid. No studies on this exist.
Jonathan Watson
I couldn't tell you. The reality of the argument is that if federal law really mattered, they would be deporting illegals in sanctuary cities. People use that argument a lot yet ignore clear examples that prove hypocrisy. Trump talks a big game about wanting to help working class folks, while Paco takes their job because he pisses clean, yet gets piss drunk and drives home, and the veteran who smokes weed for PTSD can't get anything better than a job at McDonalds.
I'm not even a pot smoker, but I've read enough of these threads to have more of a disdain for the faggots who think they're less degenerate for not smoking it. The word gets thrown around like racism and devalues it.
Wyatt Long
>So fire him for being a bad employee then dickhead. You mean, something like coming to work in a dangerous area with drugs in his system?
Jack Martinez
>with drugs in his system Retard retard retard retard
Chase Gray
So I can't enjoy something because u have no self control? By that logic most things should be illegal including the internet.
Oliver Miller
Same thing but with guns
Nathan Davis
Reform weed laws like make it completely illegal in all states? OK.
Leo Diaz
This.
Op you're probably the drug addict who got UA'D. Nice larp tho, faggot. Now neck yourself, druggie.
Anthony Morales
This bud's for you. Hypocrite.
Evan Sanders
Enough drugs in his system to give a positive test. How is an employer, who presumably doesn't want people operating heavy machinery while even a little bit high, supposed to distinguish between someone with no more psychological effects and someone who smoked recently enough to still have subtle impairment? Remember, not only are lives literally at stake, OSHA will bring its wrath down on an employer who knowingly allows that to go on.
Cameron Ramirez
You've got dopeheads in your ranks and you won't ever know it because you're relying on a test that is beatable. I hardly trust the people I work with that take legal prescriptions.
Aiden Nelson
>The reality of the argument is that if federal law really mattered, they would be deporting illegals in sanctuary cities. oof.
Luke Brown
He should have abstained from muh weed then. Also edibles are a meme
Ethan James
Irrelevant considering prescription and over the counter drugs can impair someone. It's all a ruse.
Joseph Rivera
Drink bleach it makes you smarter and more productive. Try and get at least a half gallon in your system every day.
Charles Brooks
Failed a whiz quiz. What a fucking loser don't you know they make synthetic urine. I think weed is a waste of time and money. But seriously failed an IQ test not a drug test mate.
Camden Wilson
Sounds like Tuesday morning...
Bentley Butler
Part of realizing the clown world is taking a subjective look at EVERYTHING. I read these threads a lot because shills love to pump them up. Every pretentious faggot who doesn't smoke pot comes in and calls the pot smokers a degenerate. Meanwhile, those faggots jerk off to porn, watch hentai, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, the whole nine yards. I feel like that asian guy in empire of dust.
Jackson Ward
Do you guys all work for a fast food place? Just because something is legal in another state doesn't mean that your employer has to allow you to partake. I don't have an issue with what he did, but a bit of a dunce if he works for a company that has random testing, no?
Samuel Roberts
Go get me a syringe you lazy stoner fuck.
Henry Sullivan
I don't smoke, degenerate. Go dilate.
Austin Mitchell
Most large corporations in Colorado still drug test, especially construction companies (for insurance purposes). Once I was on a job site that was close to completion and the boomer superintendent wanted to lay workers off to save on labor costs, so he orders an immediate drug test for all employees. The white guy carpenters all pissed dirty, and the wetback laborers on work visas all passed. He lost his best employees and kept the dead weight. I don't smoke weed so I passed but it sucked getting stuck with a bunch of wetbacks who only speak 10 words of English.
Wyatt Cox
Your average roach self-medicates with alcohol. Their digestive system almost requires it.
Xavier Wilson
Are you trying to imply either party isn't the same jew controlled neocon/neolib trash? Get gassed kike. 3rd position is the only path to freedom.
That's my point. They'd come to work hungover after a night of drinking tequila and be completely useless. But the white guys who like to smoke a bowl after work lose their job for having THC in their system.
Gabriel Russell
They test for opioids on even the five panel test, which is the most basic generic test. It only tests for 5 different drugs. So, you're going to fail any test you take. I don't know if having a prescription matters. I guess that's up to the employer. They can test for alcohol. Most don't. Maybe a government job. Which I agree is nonsensical. So, you can come to work drunk. Just don't smoke weed ever.
Julian Sullivan
>How the fuck does this work? Legality is irrelevant. You can also fail a breathalyzer test and lose your job AND alcohol is legal in every state. He probably was a degenerate, and they knew to give him the 2" open cup test when he came back. He shouldn't have been blabbing about where he was going on vacation.
Dylan Gonzalez
I'm not a smoker either, but much like faggotry, I don't care what you do as long as you don't try to shove it down my throat.
Logan Martinez
>ctrl f "jews" >0
Do I have to spell it out for you? (((They))) want us on alcohol instead because it dumbs us down keeps us distracted. Plus it ruins our health and the effects last a long time. Also very addictive. On the other hand, pot encourages deep thinking and especially thinking about taboo subjects, and also talking about such things with others while stoned. Pot is also easy to recover from, doesn't affect health much, and isn't anywhere near as addictive as alcohol.
But we won't have reform as long as (((they))) are in power.
Xavier Perry
Wasted Legally regulated edibles are often too weak to feel it. Eat enough, its not a meme. You'll be done for 8 hours. For medicinal use to treat chronic pain edible is the best way. Smoking does almost nothing for pain.
Landon Fisher
>drug x can impair someone >therefore testing for drug y, which can also impair someone, is irrelevant
I lived in Colorado and people can't handle it They are like zombies walking around with bloodshot eyes Smells like weed everywhere Huge grey market because you can grow it and transport it, smell of it isn't cause to search a car Homeless Able bodied hippies with dreads sitting on the corner "hey maaaaaan you got a cigarette broooo" Did some work with a guy and he did dabs while we took a break.. told me we needed to drive somewhere and he fucking rear ended some old couple in their rental car, probably ruined their day because he needed a fix Cops came and said it's not their problem because it's in a parking lot, even though his eyes were dark red Then I come on Jow Forums and every pothead is making 100k, smoking half a gram a month, changing the world with their boundless motivation You're not fooling me
