Does failing a pre-employment drug test go on your record?
Probably not.But that is because if you fail the drug test, you won’t even have a record. You won’t get a job offer, so the company has no reason to set up a file about you.And they are not going to call up another company, and report your results. That is illegal. Nor will they report the results, if another company asks. That is also illegal.The important thing is not to fail your drug test.By far the best method of assuring that you will not fail a drug test, is to quit using drugs. Totally. Now. Permanently.Using drugs will keep you from getting a job. Or if you should get a job, for example by staying clean for a week or two, picking up the drug use again will cause you to get fired. And that is on your record.Using drugs will wreck your health. Using drugs will keep you poor. Using drugs will make you do things you don’t want to do, just to get more drugs.In the end, using drugs will kill you. Yes, you. You are not tough enough to avoid it. The only uncertainties are how soon, and in what manner will you die from drugs. OD? Murder? Car wreck? Suicide? Organ failure? Starvation? Infection?One of these, most likely. Or you may discover some ridiculously uncommon way of dying from drugs.So, back to your question. No, failing the drug test won't go on your record. But your record is the least of your problems. You will still be out of a job. And still unable to get one. Which before too long also may not be a problem. Because you will be dead.Instead of worrying about failing a drug test, get yourself into a treatment and detox center. Get rid of the drugs, and you will be able to get a decent job without having to worry about being detected as a drug user.
If you fail a pre-employment drug test for THC, is employment discretionary based on the employer, or is it federally mandated to be denied employment?
Certainly, most positions are not regulated by a federal mandate. However, since the regulations imposed during the Reagan administration, there are a large number of positions which are regulated by SAMSHA(sometimes called NIDA or DOT). These positions require the individual to pass what is sometimes described as a DOT physical. These positions can include truck drivers, bus drivers, forklift operators and many other positions in the transportation industry. Passing a federally regulated drug and alcohol test is part of passing the physical. For the lab to provide a positive result for THC does not definitely cause one to fail the test. If the individual can provide a valid reason for a positive drug test, then the medical review officer will convert the result to a negative and then this would be considered passing for this portion of the physical. There is a valid reason (ie., valid prescription) for all drugs tested except for phencyclidine and the MDMA/MDA/MDEA drugs. Interestingly enough, the requirements for employment at the DOT is inconsistent with the requirements for a position with a company which is regulated by the DOT. Or this has been the case in the past. There may be other positions where federal regulations require a negative result for all drugs regardless of the donor having valid prescriptions. The one area is for certain specific positions working in or around nuclear power plants. There may be other positions in the country. Also, the military has some very different requirements based on the particular job posting and/or rank. I never understood the military requirements but were always described as peculiar because of the dependence upon many variables which we were never informed. A lot of this was determined by rank and location. An example here would be stricter requirements for those onboard nuclear submarines or those working in the bunkers for launching nuclear warheads. It always seems that positions around nuclear fuels were always more stringent than many other positions. And positions where an accident could cause the deaths of innocent individuals required more stringent rules as well. But is that not how we really want life to be in the country. The people holding responsible positions requiring attention should not be on any drug or alcohol which interferes with their ability to perform their job.
What happens if you fail a pre-employment drug test in the US?
You Won’t Get the Job.If you don’t get called after two weeks following the test and also assuming that would be the only reason for you not getting a call back aside from not meeting other criteria; then contact said employers HR department and they will probably tell you to call the testing center who will follow up with telling you.You’re FUCKED.Recourse would be unless you’re on some kind of medication that might interfere with the test but even so you should have informed the testing center before-hand.
Is there is some sort of anti procrastination drug?
Procrastination can have its roots in many different types of causes (some of them actually healthy and rational).For those suffering from more conventional causes of procrastination, there are four drugs I'll suggest be considered (five for men). Those drugs are Modafinil (a eugeroic), Tianeptine (a mood brightener), methylphenidate, and Adderall.The fifth option, for men, is testosterone.Each have fairly unique action in addressing the root causes of procrastination; but if I had to guess, I'd say the odds of one or more of those drugs being an effective treatment (for the average sufferer) would be well over 90%.See your doctor before doing anything that could impact your health.
I need help writing a thesis statement about drug testing with welfare!!?
I am writing a paper on why I think drug testing should be done in order to receive welfare. I need three reasons and for it to be formed into a thesis statement. I am having trouble doing this.
If somebody fails a pre-employment drug test, can he get another job?
Yes, likely not with the same employer though.Not all employers require a potential employee to undergo a pre-employment drug screen, unless of course the position you are applying for is considered a public safety title or one that requires operating a motor vehicle.With that being said, just because you fail a pre-employment drug screen that will not hinder your chances of obtaining alternate employment.
Procrastination: I've nothing to do at work, and could get away with anything that looks like I'm programming. What should I do with the next three weeks?
I personally dislike this sort of sitting-around time at work. It sounds like you already have a few ideas. Assuming you have already done anything you need to by way of buttoning up your old work and handing it off to colleagues, I would start with learning something new, even if it is just for fun, or poking at a just-for-fun project of your own. You're the best judge of what you already know and what you might need or want to learn, or simply dabble at.The other choice that comes to my mind, that's not on your list already, is to read. You can get a lot of the old classics as text files, or your local library may have online access to more current titles. Download one smallish file (if you're just getting the text) from Archive or Gutenberg and make your way through some Sherlock Holmes or Mark Twain, or anyone else that strikes your fancy. You're still just looking at text on a screen. (I once took a real-life computer class in which the instructor was quite determined to wait for the very last, very slow student to finish each exercise. I made it 6 or 7 chapters into War and Peace in 10- and 15-minute increments between when I finished my exercises and when he finished his.) Of course, depending on how much attention is being paid, you could probably haul quite a bit of other text in via an RSS reader or similar and do much the same thing with current magazines or blogs.And if you're feeling creative, you might consider displaying a screenful of unnecessary but important looking matter and just daydreaming, at least for part of the time. Do any creativity or planning or pondering that can take place mostly in your head. This could be your top three picks for the next family vacation, what to do with scrap materials you can easily obtain, or any other creative exercise you may wish to pursue. If by chance you dream up your million-dollar idea this way, take careful mental notes and write it down later, when you are off the clock. (The first thing you may wish to dream up is a plausible activity you were "finishing up" in case anyone asks.)
Does fasting to eliminate cannabis from the body a good idea?
No! That's the worst thing you can do! 1) drug tests are not looking for THC or any sort of toxin (unless you smoked something dipped in poison, there are NO toxins in marijuana! And you aren't being screened for any 'toxins') The test is for specific metabolites that the body produces when breaking down a drug. 2) Yes, the THC metabolites do stick to fat cells (fat soluble). However, you do not want to burn fat because that releases those metabolites which will be flushed out in your urine.I used to smoke daily to help me sleep, way safer than sleeping pills. But when I wanted a new job, I stopped and waited 30 days before applying. I had been losing weight over the six months before this because I had become vegetarian. I got the job offer contingent on passing a drug test. It was almost 12 weeks by the time I took the test, I was sure I was clear. Nope. Got a call from the lab a few days later to verify I had prescriptions for 3 drugs in my test. I expected to verify 2 medicines, but was confused as to why my antidepressant would be on there (since I took 3 prescriptions) but it wasn't my antidepressant. The guy from Labcorp was very informative and nonjudgmental. He explained how the test is for metabolites which are fat soluble, and that regular smokers can release those metabolites for 6 months or more depending on their habit. My test barely passed the minimum threshold for a positive result, and without a prescription for pot, the employer would be notified. I had already given notice at my current job, turned down a raise offer to stay, and ended up working at there another 11 miserable months. So again, don't try to burn the fat like it's evidence lol. NORML's website offers some good advice.
