NYC IB employer testing for marijuana

I am an incoming summer ib analyst and recently got a drug testing appointment from my employer. I go to school in MA and the test is at a local lab. i looked up the test and apparently it also tests for weed. I thought NY employers were not allowed to test for that anymore? I am an occasional smoker and might pass the test but I'm curious how my employer is even testing for it and if I should be worried about any action. Could they rescind my offer?

Anyone who uses marjuana does not deserve to work in investment banking. Marijuana is a dangerous gate way drug that paves the way to cocaine and premarital sex. Instead of smoking the devils lettuce you should reevaluate your life and find a new job before you get fired for failing the test, hippie.

Damn, D-Sol now has a burner account?

 

100%. I’ve seen too many of my friends participate in the “ganja” and completely ruin the bright futures they had ahead of them. They started listening to hip hop and rap music, wearing not just one but two chains, getting spicy chicken sandwiches at places like Popeyes instead of good Christian fast food joints like Chick Fil A. If you wanna be an investment banker I recommend you choose breathing oxygen instead of the “good good”.
