Cannabis use and traces found in work place random test

It's definitely illegal😂

That said you can also fall foul of a road side drug swab many days after taking them. You could smoke a joint or a line on a Friday and fail a police drug swab on Monday.

So 'effectively' you ain't driving under any influence but you'd still lose your licence or worse get sent down for death by dangerous driving under the influence of drugs. The fact it was 4 days ago is irrelevant. I imagine so many people could fall foul of this after a weekend.

You heaven forbid kill someone in a crash you'll get drink and drug tested. Also cars are checked for undeclared mods for all those driving around with remaps etc.

Simply not worth it. Then again if you dabble then get a job where its fine like a rock star or DJ😂

Good advice about jobs where you can be as wrecked as you like. Where wittily one go to get a job ad a rockstar though

FFS just don't take illegal drugs.
They're illegal for a reason.
I guess Brian your 'mate' has a straight choice.
Get off the pot or the machines.

To be fair is weed really much worse than alcohol or smoking?

It's absolutely no worse and probably a lot better. For a start you just get the munchies not the urge to stab someone as you do on beer. The fact that it's illegal always seemed ludicrous to me and I say that as someone who has had 1 joint in my entire life

Yeah I’m no expert but I’d rather put my body through weed every now and again over booze or cigarettes every day

I guess it's a case of simply don't bother if in any doubt. A urine test will detect a regular smoker for months.

Maybe switch to Class A as coke / Mdma clear in 3 to 5 days😂.

Having served 23 years in the armed forces it was simply never worth it. I have a few friends who got booted out and it's on the rise. Especially with cocaine. I went out on Saturday for the footy and you'd think it was legal. Just streams of men coming out of cubicles. In fact my missus said it was as bad in the ladies.

Very few companies use hair testing as too expensive and takes longer for results.

It was like that in the Black Bull 20 years ago. Dread to think what’s it’s like these days.

Roadside drug tests are not evidential. If you fail one you will be taken in and offered a blood or urine test to establish if you are a actually impaired. The same is true for prescription drugs.

Although I presume you'd fail on a blood or urine days later? Yet still not remotely impaired.

The safest way is just don't bother. I look at the amount of folk doing gear on Saturday in the pubs and I imagine most drive and work days later without giving it a thought.

For someone who doesn't do drugs you seem to know a lot about their potential consequences.
