Sorry hiut submit

3. Allows in some cases complete immunity to workers comp if one fails a test, not just immunity to company level dangerous workplace and negligence suits. The problem here is that a drug test doesnt prove how long its been since the person has taken the substance, unless we are talking about immediate intoxication. In other words, if Jim smoked a joint 3 weeks ago and hasnt gotten high since, and he loses his foot because SOMEONE ELSE runs it over with a power jack, he gets tested, fails and insurance lets him blow in the wind. this is wrong, just wrong. Hey man, show up drunk and get itno an accident, well screw you you deserved it. But getting disqualified from coverage because you did something that in no way impaired your judgement well its just wrong.

4. Hair tests: this is the big one. Most places DONT do this, but basically any hair you had when the drug was ingested (even if it were 6 months ago) will test positive. So unless you wax your arms and head and eyebrows and let it all grow in again before the test you are screwed, buster. Again, hair tests for pilots and high risk jobs go right ahead. But to work at a car dealership or as a plumber or at a video store? HAHAHAHAHA


So now let me quailfy this. I like limited testing. I worked at a place that did pre-employent AND accident AND witch hunt testing. I was management. And I smoke marijuana. Cheated on each test (took one for emply and one for promotion). Did all I could to spoil a witch hunt whenever I saw one, but really had very little way to impact accident tests. Was also good at weeding out people coming to work impaired, which is a no-no any way you cut it. And NO, I never came to work impaired. Never entered my mind for a second, I have no sympathy for people with hangovers or stupid stoner mistakes.
