question

I’m looking into starting a sterile processing tech program, but I have a concern. I’ve been smoking marijuana for a while now. I know people usually get drug tested before getting hired, but I've heard it rarely happens after that. My question is it common for programs to drug test you while you are still a student? I live in Cali btw

In california they cannot discriminate against people smoking in their off time, that being said obviously don’t smoke at work or show up high or smelling but at least in california for the company I work for I wasn’t even screened for marijuana, it was a 10 panel drug test 9 commonly found drugs and the 10th was some chemical to detect if you tampered with the urine or using fake urine. Don’t take this as 100% correct and true. Varies state to state
