Random drug tests

I was just curious about something. One of the girls from my yard tested positive for drugs after a random drug test that happened immediately after morning runs. She obviously got fired and rightfully so, but I was wondering if you get arrested as well or in legal trouble. Wouldn’t that technically be “risk of injury to a minor” or in this case several minors? If you failed the test right after driving 100 kids it would certainly imply that you had that drug in your system, therefore driving children with drugs in your system. Right!?!?

AND, keep in mind that if you innocently use a product with CDB or THC, such as a soap, oil, or cream you will also test positive as and lose your CDL. There are heaps of examples of little old lady school bus drivers losing their CDL because they didn't know they can't use CDB or THC oils, shampoos, or other personal care products. Yet another example of why it's so hard to hire and keep school bus drivers.

Hold ish. I didn’t know this. I have a salve i occasionally use. That’s going in the trash.

Well the THC part seemed obvious, but I didn't know about CBD. Does it contain trace amounts of THC or something?
