just curious, has anyone heard of anyone getting busted on the drug test for marijuana use for SA jobs in the US? i don't smoke often so i'm not super worried but want to know just in case. also, do they use the hair test (can test back 90 days) or is it just urine? i imagine that many people would get tested positive if they use the hair test...
basically, just wondering what's the deal? should i take it very seriously and completely abstain from smoking? my school's recruiting period is from late jan to march.
Use your best judgement.
What's the risk adjusted NPV of a spliff vs an internship?
lolol
yuck spliffs, how did you live in europe for you plebe
Welcome to the big kid world.... All banks piss test, to my knowledge no one does hair. But still, obviously your priorities are skewed if a spliff is worth more to you than your career.

Just stop smoking until you start bra
Usually test around Spring Break, just stop now and starting chugging that cranberry juice.
Cranberry juice + B complex vitamins + a lot of water + Niacin if necessary = you good bra
Or you could just not smoke weed? I mean maybe I'm a little to risk-adverse with this kind of stuff, but the juice isn't worth the squeeze
Get an oil change
Use your brain... would be worth it to smoke the whole summer (if you keep smoking, you won't get the job) or have an internship the whole summer and maybe a job after graduation?
do it the night before... its a trick that gets u the test passed
yes, stop doing drugs, those days are over. Use liquor instead.
or you can shave off every single hair on your body the night before so they have no other option than to piss test you
It's kinda sad though that all 20 year old SA's worldwide can't enjoy a smoke this semester.
Hakuna matata OP. Consider carrying some dank weed in a silver cigar box (for presentation purposes) in case the interviewer brings up legalization.
If you really can't stop smoking pot for a month to pass a drug test, then you will face much bigger hurdles when you get to the real world.
And it's a urine test, you aren't joining the FBI or anything. Or if you're truly weak willed you can get this: http://www.realwhizzinatorxxx.com/images/Whizzinator-Box-Pic.jpg
A football kid from college claimed to have had success with it, but I was a little hesitant to believe him....
Spliffs are life.
The problem with weed is how long it stays in your system relative to other drugs, and how little time some firms give you to take the test after notifying you of it. Some might let you know that you'll be tested just prior to your start date, others might give you two weeks, others might give you two days. There's just too many factors involved to come up with a foolproof plan to beat the test.
Like other posters have said, it's just not worth the risk.
idk why I got MS for that? Its a fact. My freshman year it took me 3 hours to go
This is for a corporate job. Not probation.
drug tests for SA (Originally Posted: 02/07/2012)
I have no experience with drugs and i've never smoked weed, so my question might sound stupid. my offer letter says that i will have to take a drug test before starting the job. the problem is, my roommates occasionally smoke weed. will i still pass the drug test? google says yes, unless it's a hair test. what do you guys think? what are the chances it's a hair test? thanks.
Probably a 12 panel urine test. You should be fine
You'll be fine, unless they hot box the room 5 hours a day.
You sound worried. You should smoke some marijuana to get your mind off of this.
You're fucked bro go ahead and reneg so you don't embarrass yourself and your school
Its called a drug test, if you don't do drugs, you're gonna pass. Don't bring this mentality in into your 10 week SA stint, or else you won't get a return offer.
99% urine test.
You should shoot some heroin to take the edge off..that way, when you test, it won't be positive for weed, but positive for poppy seed bagels
If it's a hair test (You won't know until you get there) be sure to bring a razor with you in your pocket. Ask to go to the restroom and quickly shave your entire body, everything. Flush down all the hair and walk out casually. At this point you have to hope that the nurse doesn't realize you now have no hair. If she inquires, plead ignorant.
Unless you're getting high with them... you will pass just fine. My friend just passed his drug test for a biomedical company he smoked everyday all the time... for 3 years stopped 2 months before he applied for jobs and was in the sauna everyday the week he was interviewing he was fine.
It will be a urine test. If you haven't done any drugs, then you don't need to worry about it. I doubt that the concentration of THC in second hand smoke could make someone fail.
Seriously, those tests are so dumb I think you'd literally have to smoke right before to actually fail.
For all the tokers out there just get Quick Fix, works every time.
Employer Drug Testing (Originally Posted: 03/05/2016)
So I just received an offer from a firm in NYC. I have been doing the on boarding for the firm and they informed me I have to take a drug test in the near future. I smoke occasionally maybe one a month. Its actually legal where I live so I have not broken any laws per se though I doubt that will matter. I bought a few tests which I passed but I understand there is a type of hair related testing that's nearly impossible to beat. My question is what type of test do BB firms typically conduct? Perhaps a stupid question but does failing one automatically rescind any offer? I read through the print of my offer but wasn't able to locate anything that dealt with that. Good news I decided to quit altogether after this though doesn't matter for my current predicament. Any advice appreciated.
Hair testing is rare because it's more expensive. Most firms just require you to go to a local nurse's office (Quest Diagnostics for metro NY), piss test, and they send on the transcript to HR. I've seen offers rescinded immediately for drug test failure, mainly because it's a legal liability and it shows that you don't have enough common sense to pass an employment drug test, which you knew you were going to take upon offer.
I would just purge the few days beforehand (drink lots of water, etc.) and you should be fine.
They are not going to pay for a hair testing. Especially since all their people are probably addicts on something. Just detox until your test. You will be fine
