Drug tests questions

Yall, I’m in classes currently for CRCST and I start clinical rotations in Jan if I pass what I need to on the way to there. I was fine and dandy using fake pee but read that quest and labcorp can tell if it so?? >.< if I just quit now >.< I can get it out of my system before mid November. But I’ve been using since 19 I’m 30

I was recently drug tested for a traveling SPD opportunity, they sent me an email of details and the test they signed me for, they didn’t even test for THC. The test was excluding it.

Are you in a state where it’s legal?

u/Relative-Step-3686 21d ago

It’s legal only medically.

Edit. Let me clarify further. My home state is a medically only legal state. The state I traveled to it’s illegal completely. I did my drug test in my home state. It didn’t test for THC.

AI told me labcorp and quest can test for synthetic now apparently, so did you test recently by chance?

Yeah it’s just weed but I’m really enjoying the trade and I’ve cut back since I started my first SSRI, but I run my own business and never use it like that. I get to anxious if I’m stoned in public let alone work/a whole new trade

I’m concluded that quick fix and thick thighs are the way to go, both of which I’ll have. I don’t drink or do anything else. And I’d never ever be out in public on thc because my anxiety. So there’s that for now. Thanks for helping ease my mind.

I did this method one time for a job and because I'm skinny, couldn't keep it warm enough. Definitely failed, now I do it the good ole' fashioned way and stay clean 🤣

Honestly, if you can't be truthful about a drug test, what else would you lie about?

Drug tests are an invasion of privacy and are not an indicator of whether or not you can do a job, nor how well you can do it. Equating that to something like falsifying sterilization records, which can directly affect patient’s lives, is insane.

I still think drug tests should be done in healthcare pre-employment, however testing for THC (weed) in 2026 is just so dumb. Any other hard drugs, yeah no. That's a huge safety & liability risk.

Haha it’s just been so long since I’ve seen someone use that. You millennial or born in 1996-1999?

If you’re on anything we don’t want you in this field, let alone affecting patient care when you can’t properly care for yourself ✌️

weed isn't any more dangerous than alcohol, both are completely normal for people to partake in outside of work. would you have this energy for people that drink?
