I just heard something really stupid

Postby Nanoose » Wed Jul 27, 2011 8:37 pm

Recently 2 reliable sources told me that now days a few pot heads are switching to crystal meth because it doesn’t show up in urine tests. I would rather quite my job and live under a bridge then go on meth.
What I think is really stupid and kind of suspicious is companies go to the time and expense of testing employees for drugs but only seem to catch the pot heads. Maybe because casual cannabises use can’t be hidden - a simple inexpensive urine text will find it ever time (even if you wasted $50 on one of those drug beating tests) so companies can inexpensively say – look were doing our job and fighting the war on drugs. Could also be because ganja is the only street “drug” that takes money away from the drug companies.
Anyway for a while I was thinking that were starting to win the war on drugs but each of my reliable sources knew of 2 pot heads that switched to meth so were at least 4 down. Cheers!

Nanoose, it sad and most of the people I know that are subject to urine test use hard drugs so they will not be out of work. Now with hair tests, your Mj usage for 90 days will show up! In theory, someone with 6 inch long hair could be tested for the past year of their usage (1/2"=1 month of your usage).

A few years ago I "tested" offering drug free crews as a selling point ( the concept failed....really failed) BUT.....I got tests that would only show positive for MJ if it was done within the past 3 days....and a fail meant the test kit might of been bad so you could try again in another day.

Well I just smoked a doobie and seen the light!
I used to think that companies testing there employees for drugs was an invasion of privacy but I also figured it at least reduced the chances of hiring a meth or crake user but now it seems that’s not so.
This isn’t coming from a very reliable source but – 2 weeks after being hired 93% of crake and or meth users can be found crunched down in a corner and pointing at the ceiling with a butter knife while whispering shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I really can’t see how that could be good for a companies productivity.
I actually didn’t just smoke a doobie and see the light – I seen it when I was just a wee lad growing ganja in the valley of the jolly (the Green Giants corn fields). Way back then I knew if I wasn’t careful the giant would get me and he wasn’t green and jolly. Seems to me the war on drugs has always been fought dirtily and its main target was and still is ganja. Cheers!

Easy to go after ganja, it's big, stinky and lots of people use it. Not sure if dogs can sniff out pills which in my opinion is a problem that is several times worse than coke/crack/meth.

Imagine if doctors could write scripts for ganja instead of pills for pain? Wow, some people might end up using it after the script runs out but they would not become pill junkies.
