Job Rejection (Drugs)

[Mrbleedinggums]

all drugs are bad if not used for medical reasons you need allowance from doctor for that

Keep telling yourself that lie. Drugs are only bad when they're misused or concocted with poisonous ingredients, at least the natural ones. (including elixirs and whatnot)

Not surprised you're from thailand, the country so uncivilized they kill people for drug crimes rather then looking at why people abuse drugs and looking at the underlying social issues they pick the easy way out and simply try to brute force the issue.

Extremism is bad mkay.

Citation needed.

Also even the ones that are bad don't harm others they harm the user.

drug
drʌɡ/
noun
1.
a substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.

I'd say even water fits that definition! Do you ask permission from your doctor to drink water?

[Friendlyimmolation]

Well no one said showing up high. Liquor is legal and that doesn't mean people can show up drunk.

I am biased because I have never met someone who smokes who would be responsible enough not to show up work high. Anyways their job, their rules.

[deadman1]

Still technically illegal on the federal level....so it just depends on who ya gonna call....

Actually having THC in your system isn't illegal anywhere in the USA, it isn't something that they can arrest you for, you need to have drugs or paraphernalia on you at the time.

[Mrbleedinggums]

You have what evidence or credentials to back up your claim? Or will you simply be posting anecdotes?

[Ripster42]

Yes.

The legality of an activity and a company allowing it are two entirely different non related things. It's not illegal to wear shorts, but many companies don't allow you to wear them at work.

They don't fire you for wearing shorts at home though.

Well then all drugs are bad since they all end up as neurotoxins.

Natural drugs? Come on now.
LSD you can get "Naturally" from Ergot but even pure ergot is unsafe compared to what LSD is as you know it, synthetic ergotimines on paper, or whatever.

Same reason MDMA does not = sassafrass ;P

[Armbre]

As one comedian stated there shouldn't be drug tests, the test should be if you can't tell im high then thats a win. His quote i can't since i work for a state univ and im too cheap to buy it as well lol

your not going to get killed for having personal use amount of drugs

[Ripster42]

Illegal at fed level, so still illegal. Perfectly acceptable to test for it.

If it was legal at all levels of gov't then only if they develop a test for the non-metabolized form of the drug, and only if they have a reason to suspect that you're currently high.

I remember Walmart trying to pull some of the stuff they do in the US around here, i.e prying into their employees private life, trying to dictate stuff they can and can't do and so on and on. Needless to say, Walmart here doesn't exist anymore.

Flakka seems to be the exception there, here in the USA, or soon will be.

[Slaskra]

People who generally work there would have different world views, seeing people that accept being tested for drug use for a job are more likely to not be in favor of using drugs. What can generally set you apart on a couple more issues. It's not something i would say that it would be so with certainty but it's something i would find to be more likely then not.

In a world where nobody ever learned to get along with anybody else, I could see your point.

[Dethh]

I used to smoke almost every day but I wouldn't smoke at work or go to work high because it would mess up my actual work, I would wager I am not the norm though so I would agree with you.

[Acidbaron]

Correct but it is seen as a criminal offense to use, which is part of the same outdated of inefficient ways of trying to tackle drug abuse and addiction.

Ah give it a good 40 to 50 years and thailand might have moved into modern thinking about this.

[Sinndra]

So since there is nothing illegal about visiting a state say Colorado and consuming what would be considered a controlled substance elsewhere, a business should not be able to legally exclude you from employment, nor should they even be allowed to test for the presence of THC.

this is where you strayed off course. its not about you personally, and where you want to visit. its about the company and what state they are in. the company follows the rules set forth by the state they are located in. sure you can go on vacation but that doesnt mean you get to just go all willy nilly and do whatever.

im sorry, but its the laws of the state that you should be trying to change, not the company. change the state, and the company will follow.

[deadman1]

But you will be killed for other amounts?

And you say that like it is reasonable?
