I need legal aid: do i have to be explicitly informed about drug tests...

[Gunter S]

before taking them?

i.e. would it be included in a pre-employment medical and they wouldn't tell me?

pre-employment medical is a polite way to say drug test.

[Gunter S]

fuck :(

[Gunter S]

is there a legal hotline i can phone? anyone?

[Gunter S]

avana, do you know very much about this topic?

[b0ld]

do you speakin the english??

check your pms wummy

[Gunter S]

wump.

do they have to tell me they are giving me a drug test? i heard they legally have to.

[dabbler]

afaik they have to. there is a student law thing you can call, i've used it before...

fuck ! i went for a medical/physical a while ago for coast guard, and at the end of the thing they did a piss test .. never actually said the word "drug test" before during or after. I may have had a bit of weed in my system, I hope I don't get screwed.

What can you even do after the fact though?

Honestly alot of employers really don't care if they find out that you smoke pot based on your blood/urine tests... They are looking for more of a substance abuse narcotic like cocaine... heroin.... etc...

It's funny considering only weed is really detectable for a long time (a month or so), and the rest fade away within 48 hours.

Although if you can't stop for two days you might not be employment
material.

bizzump

just flush your system if all your worried about is the pot. read up on the internet about how to do so. Head stores in Vancouver sell detox's too

indeed. i had to take a drug test for my job and they said they found traces of weed in my system and i still got the job.

im sure if they found heroin/cocaine/speed in my system they wouldn't have hired me. a lot of hardworking honest individuals smoke pot, but you'll have a tough time finding a hardworking heroin or speed users :weird:

[lildonkey]

I thought you actually needed a legal aid.

I was gonna suggest Jim Dunne. He's the shit.

did you lie on the form and say that you never smoked?

[Gunter S]

does BC bud take longer to flush? apparently its way more potent

our weed is extremely potent. the more thc in the weed then obviously the longer it will take to flush it out of your system.

but perhaps you need to smoke less to get the same effect, too

[BongMan]
