So they want to fine you for something that doesn't really cause the type of impairment they claim?
Typical.
It's like if I get in an accident at work tomorrow, they test for pot. If they find it, they don't pay. But...what if I smoked 21 days ago and it's still in my system? Doesn't matter.
It IS legal to smoke marijuana now. I guess just working for a major worldwide company is my contract that I won't smoke legal drugs THE WHOLE TIME I'm employed there.
Legality of the substance makes no difference when you are trying to dodge an insurance bullet I guess....
This is what it would look like though, I'm sure :
I had to explain to one workplace that I was taking a medication as Rx'd that was on their list if no' for situations you just described. I passed the drug screening because it was prescribed. So, after training I did not operate heavy machinery for the reason you just brought up. My team lead didn't mind. One of my friends explained to me that the only thing that matters was my test compared to my hiring tests. I preferred to do other tasks anyway. I didn't trust that place, and I certainly didn't trust the people at the top.
Yeah, weed is legalized in canada. Most jobs dont test for it, but the ones that do usually stipulate it in the job description.
That being said, when I worked in Appalachia for different temp agencys, I smoked weed, they knew it, they kept "testing" me and it kept coming back "negative". Leading me to believe most people dont actually care about weed, but more concerned about narcotics. Thats assuming of course the person can actually do their job and not have to get high at work.
When I was poisoned with freon, I let it slip to my cardiologist that I smoked about a gram a day. He asks me during a later visit, how could I stand the smell of the stuff. I told him, it helps me relax after a long day and helps my anxiety. He just says if it works for you.
WCB latched right onto that saying that was likely the source of my palpitations. I told them Id be happy to smoke a bong while hooked up to an ecg, but they declined.
The weed was the only thing keeping me calm during the entire ordeal. I likely would have blew my kidneys out or had a stroke if I hadnt been smoking the stuff.
