his resume to Craigslist in the hopes of landing a new gig — hopefully in the marijuana industry

Pure Idiocracy. I bet even the Marijuana industry will have drug tests to keep their
employees from smoking up their profits.

people who would be tempted to dip into inventory...that’s exactly what wholesalers and retailers look for in a potential employee...

I’m wondering if he was actually fired because of the pot, or if he lied to his employer about why he needed the day off. Having the urine test was probably just a measure that would hold up better if the former employee tried to take legal action against his former employer.

“I read about the murder case of Vegas casino mogul Ted Binion. At one point he was ordered to report for a hair follicle test. He had his girlfriend (who later killed him) shave every hair off his body, then went.”

The company I worked for sent a guy for a test and he shaved everything too. He still failed...they plucked a hair from deep inside his nose.

That made him a bald moron and unemployed.

Coming Soon: Armed security guards and police wandering around stoned out of their gourds on “legal” dope.

Or drunk on booze, better make that illegal again too.

He was fired because the security client complained.

Well it’s not like he lost a good job. Primary job requirement for most security jobs is having a pulse, turn over rate is pretty high, he’ll get another one.

The 30-year-old, who says he’s worked as a security guard “on and off for 12 years,” had signed an agreement several years ago agreeing to the drug ban.

According to KREM, Kodiac Security said on Wednesday that Boyer had not been fired and was still employed; Boyer told the affiliate another employer, Labor Ready, had requested the drug test.

Boyer did not immediately return a request seeking clarification.

You assume that someone who smokes in his off hours will show up to work stoned. Just because someone has a few drinks after work doesn’t mean they go to their job drunk.

Do you know the after effects of smoking pot? It stays in your system for days and weeks. You may not be high, but you are impaired.

Responsible employers have the right and the duty to fire all dopers.

It does stay in your system for weeks, but in amounts too tiny to impair you. It's as if you had .0001% alcohol in your system weeks after you had a couple drinks.
