Mokinokaro posted:My work has a policy of testing if there's an accident and drugs are suspected but thankfully it's illegal to do random tests here. It's about the concentration limits of the metabolites. My workplace does 50 (I think it's nanograms/millilitre of blood) and that will detect if you've smoked up that morning, but if you're at least 12 hours removed from smoking you should be fine on the test, and will definitely be fine to do your job. Some places, like I've heard of athletic blood tests for combat sports will detect down to 15ng/mL, which because of the long tail of THC metabolites in people's system, will pop someone if they've smoked in the last 4-5 days, which is bullshit.

The last drug test I took was around 2002 and it was for a life insurance policy, one of the first adulty things I did. I passed it one day after spending a weekend smoking weed and taking marinol pills while camping with my friends from college. I have no idea how that worked out. It's interesting that all of my employers since the 90s (when I worked for the Department of Justice, a note-able hardass about this poo poo) have not cared at all given that building maintenance is theoretically somewhat dangerous statistically. I guess it would come up if I grab some hot 480 phases or something... or if my life insurance agent reads this...

Had my one and only hair follicle test for a bullshit job at a cigarette store in 2000. Since I've had 5-6 piss tests for jobs, which is loving lame cause you could get away with hard drugs in a week, but weed is 2 months min. Never had a drug blood test.

Couple more zeros there, it's nanograms per microliter. (E: I just realized you were talking about blood, not urine, my bad) And if you smoke heavily, getting below 50ng/microliter is a stretch without purposeful dilution. 3L of water, 1500mg of creatine, and 100mg of vitamin B complex 2-3 hours before a whiz quiz and several pre-test pisses was my routine to beat piss tests. Never give your first piss of the day (army taught me this, they love getting you early), never give beginning of the stream, and if no one is watching, just use a bottle of synthetic piss rubber-banded to a hand warmer packet Ace bandage wrapped to your thigh. My last year in the army was practiced professionalism for passing piss tests. That was over a decade ago, but I'm sure the 50ng threshold is still a thing, secondary confirmation at 15ng and zero. Also helps to know a secret squirrel that works at brigade or battalion level. If the army didn't give a gently caress about weed, I would have never left, and probably worked out more. I took one hair follicle test. It was 1999 and for Sports Authority. To sell shoes for $7/hr. Lame. CRUSTY MINGE fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Jun 6, 2020 |

Anyone actually curious about Marijuana concentration in laboratory testing should look up the "NHTSA Drug Fact Sheets". They're two or three pages for each drug, 80 total pages last time I checked. I'm phone posting so won't search it out and block quote a giant pdf but take my word for it, it's worth googling! The fact sheets are written for drug DUI policing, so they're written for cop intelligence (zing) while being useful for lawyers, jurors, and judges. They are sciency but accessible! The best kind of science!

NHTSA Drug Facts Sheet PDF Top of page 8 quote:`. Joints and blunts are often laced with adulterants including PCP or crack cocaine. Wait, what? Keep in mind this was around 2004.

I gotta tell you I'm 100% ok with the guys driving the haul trucks and running the underground drill rigs being drug tested. I've heard stories of longwall cutter operators in Pennsylvania coal mines showing up to work clearly hosed up on drugs and that sounds like a loving nightmare. And now for something, completely different. https://twitter.com/siberian_times/status/1268508727675547648

The sawmill I worked for did follicle test pre employment. I keep my hair cut short so they took a big loving chunk out of the back of my head. Couldn't have been more than 3 weeks of hair growth. What a joke. I got nailed on a random right before the whole covid thing. loving awful timing, was sober and decided to risk it after 2 years of never being tested and got loving nailed that Monday Sigh. Meanwhile the head millwright will drive in alcoholic employees who drink to the early AM and can barely keep their eyes open. Real safe. Been enjoying my 6 month vacation, my old manager has been trying to get me back so it looks like I'll be doing it again, I have been shaving my scalp lately curious how they are going to manage that. Armpits? Leg hair?

The difference between a funicular and an inclined elevator is that an inclined elevator has a dedicated counterweight, while a funicular has two passenger cars that balance each other.
