Have a mouth swab drug test tomorrow. It's funny... I didn't smoke for 3 months but started last weekend. I looked it up, should be able to pass after not smoking for 24 hours.

Hope is weird.

Good job on getting a job man, if you had all those jobs in the past what happened if I may ask? Probably all different reasons. Anyway My last job paid 22$ but it’s not doable in the winter. So you’re kind of fucked there.

And you got lucky on the mouth swab... it must be cheaper for the company than a UA? But yeah lucky with the swab never had that, I hadn’t smoked for sure in 2 months one time and I showed for weed.

Good luck 18$ isn’t too bad to start off if you don’t live in a city.

[Amen]

Not cheaper. Both require 3rd party lab for results.

The goal is to hire people. So why Restrict.

For an example; a UA can detect excessive levels of THC for up to 3 weeks prior. A swab; 24 hours. Employers desperately need people, so rather then turn a guy away who smoked pot 3 weeks ago, they don’t care to see what he did 3 weeks ago and only concerned what you did the night before. The probability of hiring the individual is a lot higher with a swab then a UA.

I’m just going off what I know from personal experience.. and I’m quite knowledgeable on being a fuck up. All the jobs that I got back in the day required a drug test before you started and I had one that I didn’t smoke weed for like 2 months, and it showed up.

It’s fucked up that 3- 4 days before a UA you could smoke crack, do, do heroin while smoking meth and it won’t show up. But if smoked weed a month and a half ago it will.

Bottom line is clean your ass up before the first drug test.... and with all of the formal jobs I’ve had they threaten you like, we could pop a random drug test on you at anytime and therefore fire you, none of them ever did.

Only time that’s ever going to happen is if you’re showing up to work clearly fucked up

Not entirely accurate, Cocaine can take up to 7 days. Weed can be out of someone’s system on a week depending on frequency and metabolism. Everyone is different. They say, the more fatty cells you have - the longer the THC takes to dilute. THC stores in fat. So you must be overweight? Idk... but yea, everyone is different. I deal with this shit often being in the Occupational Safety & Health field.

There no point in arguing this at all.. I’ve worked all of my life, a lot of different jobs a majority of which drug tested before you were hired, been on parole and probation... I’ve had parole officers stare at my dick in a tiny bathroom while while trying to piss and not been able to do it, because I felt like I was on the spot.

And I’m randomly going with what I personally know to be true... and basically any drug... opiates last a little longer than coke/crack/meth but for all those only a few days.. I’m not fat, never have been and I know that thc stores in fat cells.. so if a 5’10 140lb guy smoked weed it’s going to be out of there system faster than 250lb guy
