Marijuana on the job

[Looking4new]

The Occupational Medical part of the hospital has dozens come in for drug testing… involved in an accident you are tested or let go… test positive you are let go even if they later have to rehire you because you had a bagel with poppy seeds.

We are not cattle… or plantation slaves…

To test the entire line because one individual screwed up is brought to you by lawyers… can’t be discriminatory when everyone is tested…

Reminds of Catholic Grade School when one student acted out the nuns were quick to pile on punishment to the entire class… the theory or peer pressure… never worked on me… call me a conscientious objector standing my ground unwilling to accept punishment for something I did not do…

Punish me for something I did not do and watch how fast I WILL do that something, just to justify the punishment.

Nor will I ever return to the U.S. of A. As much as I want to go to Alaska, I will wait until they become our 11th Province.

This will never happen. Canada would have a much better chance of becoming the 51st state before Alaska would ever become the 11th province. Keep in mind that the US has the power to take Canada, but Canada doesn't have the power to take the US. I personally don't want Canada joining the US.

Not at our school. The nuns would take you out in the hall and beat you so loud the entire class would hear it. That turned the whole class into tattle tails just to avoid the beating.

Nun: Who did this???
Entire class: Johnny and Billy!!!

That was followed by a scramble around the classroom as Johnny and Billy immediately ran for their lives from the nun. Desks and chairs slamming around, everyone running to get out of the way of the black and white terror. Usually you'd just run up and put your back against the wall to indicate you wanted no part of the fracas. While the kid(s) were getting beat in the hallway we'd straighten out the desks and just sit down and wait. Kids would come back in with tears streaming down their faces.

In the eight years I spent in that gulag, I had 2 lay teachers and 1 nun that weren't child abusers.

Catholic high school was completely different. Zero problems. Why? All lay teachers. Maybe 2 nuns that would substitute if needed, otherwise worked in the office.

Now, back to marijuana on the job, or in this case, in the school. It was everywhere in the 70s. I'd guess 90% of the student population either drank or smoked pot or both.

MossRoad,
I am real glad I went to a public school. On a 2 on 1 bullying situation I was the 1, I got the strap 10 on each for defending myself. Most of us walked to school, so I waited a few days and got the first of the two bullies and gave him 10 to the head and body. Just made him hurt, nothing broken. That was in 7th grade.
I never got into smoking pot until I was in my 20s.

JeepHead,
If I recall correctly the United States tried to take Canada back in the 1700s, that didn't end well for them. They tried a second time in the early 1800s, I think around 1812 and that didn't end well for them either. Want to try again?

This is equivalent to fighting an 8 year old child and then 20 years later fighting the same guy who is now the heavy weight champ of the UFC.

Thank you for the compliment.

One thing I never understood, was one place I worked at that had a prohibition against pot use. I think it had to do with working with "Challenged Persons" and that the company got federal funding,... a bit of the two.... Anyway, the turnover there was pretty high. So we were always in a state of hiring people. What I never understood was, it was clear, the company didn't want to hire anyone that smoked pot. It was clear there was going to be a drug test after the passed interview. The lit told them that, and we, the interviewers told them that. There WAS going to be a drug test. And after a while, I would side chat with the applicant, privately, ask the applicant to please not waste our time, if you can't pass. Apply again, later if you really want the job. And they would all go, "Its okay, I'M CLEAN." And then 70% of them would fail the test. And these were people I wanted to hire.

This was a huge drain on everyone. To always be in a state of compensating for that lost person.

And even after the 90 day, and under full hire, if there was an event, "accident," one would get drug tested. And 20% failed then.

So, I don't get it.

THC stays in your system for up to 30 days AFTER you smoke up.

How long does it stay with creams and ointments?

Costco even sells a product called Hempz.
