Hair follicle drug screening

[slots]

I had this drug test for the vegas strip casino I worked at. They cut some hair (normally off your head, but if there's none there, they go elsewhere), and can find basically anything you've done in a long while.

Some people would shave off all their body hair thinking that would save them only to find they have an even newer test which is like a piece of tape they stick to your skin and then peel off and they somekinda scan on it and so on...Others have tried to fool the hair test with some special shampoo or whatever.... I think the bottom line is if your doing drugs and about to take one of those tests your ****ED!

They will go after your pubes if you try to cut all visible hair on your body.

When did Shrink introduce this drug testing policy? What type of drugs would Shrink like you to test positive for?

I assume Dante must have failed the testing, or quit in protest.

Next Saturday Dante. I figure a laptop (already discussed) and it will be available to me as needed. I made them agree in contract that the Rx needed a higher priority than the patients. I like the Boss and I get dental along with Part time. Life is good.

 

[Dante]

will they allow you to go and get the "Daily Egg Mc and coke" I mean if not I would tell them to take that jobe and shove it my friend...

 

[TheGeneral+]

I knew I forgot something. Damn. Rehearse for hours and always forget something.

real free when you have to worry about your employer taking your hair & testing it to see what you do in your spare time...

well, glad we don't live with this fvcknut mentality in europe, besides i would wager that 90% of all major co's ceo-s are major cokeheads.

I can state with authority that hair follicle tests will NOT detect use of LSD from 20 years ago, per the example GENERAL asked at the top of the thread.

Nearly all illegal substances are water soluble and are therefore out of the urine within 48 hours and out of hair follicles within 180 days at most.

Marijuana metabolites are not water soluble and can for a period of time be stored, primarily in fat cells. Therefore they can be detected in urine for anywhere from a few days til up to 4-5 weeks for regular users. In hair, marijuana metabolites can be detected for as long as 3-6 months; up to 9 months for regular users.

With more than half of all major companies and the vast majority of smaller companies NOT asking for urine samples as a condition of employment, it puzzles why anyone would work for a company that does so, save those that fall under federal laws, like DOT drivers' regulations etc.

Maybe it's just me and I just have a perception of my self respect not being worth such an invasion by strangers.

You need not even be a user of any illegal drug to understand that you are being told that your word is not sufficient. Personal testimony of being clean from undesired substances requires a urine (or hair) sample to demonstrate full integrity.

Further, use of the most destructive and commonly abused drug in America - alcohol - is in nearly all cases either ignored or severely discounted.

In either ase, a person should be judged on the content of their job performance, not by the color of their urine.

I may be in the minority here but I'd rather you boys be pissed about an invasion of privacy than have to worry about my safety stemming from the fact that you're a junkie and your senses aren't as acute as they should be. I shudder from the thought of a surgeon or airline pilot screwing up and killing people because they lit up prior to going to work.

It doesn't matter anyway because most employers don't do random tests because it's cost prohibitive. I sure would like to know what kind of jobs you have Sportsavant, Jackdee and barman where you feel drug use is a private matter and therefore none of your employer's concern.

UNCLE: I may be in the minority here but I'd rather you boys be pissed about an invasion of privacy than have to worry about my safety stemming from the fact that you're a junkie and your senses aren't as acute as they should be.

B: Why would you label anyone who might use an illegal drug as a 'junkie'?

UMB: I shudder from the thought of a surgeon or airline pilot screwing up and killing people because they lit up prior to going to work.

B: If you were truly concerned about either of those, you would demand that both were tested for the most commonly abused drug - alcohol.

In fact, pilots are DOT tested, which as I noted in last post, makes practical sense, though it's rather flawed since alcohol use is not included in the screening.

As for your surgeons, I'm guessing you would have more sense than to do business with a surgeon that had a record of killing patients due to being impaired by drug use. This is of course moot, since such a surgeon would have his medical license yanked with the first death.

UMB: It doesn't matter anyway because most employers don't do random tests because it's cost prohibitive.

B: It matters to those who are asked to provide a urine sample as a job requirement when safety is not an issue.

UMB: I sure would like to know what kind of jobs you have Sportsavant, Jackdee and barman where you feel drug use is a private matter and therefore none of your employer's concern.

B: I'm an gardening contractor. As such, I have between 100-150 'employers' per year. It's none of their business what I choose to ingest. The only agreements I make are to reliably and honestly perform the agreed upon service(s) and their only agreement is to reliably and honestly pay me for my time.

That being said, I DO support the RIGHT of an employer to random drug test, though I know it's a foolish waste of resources in 95% of jobs. But along with that comes the aforementioned self respect of the potential employee who should have enough pride to tell such an employer to find someone else for the job who doesn't mind the rude intrusion on personal privacy.

 

[UncleMoneybags]

barman,

Fair enough. Unless there's some freak occurance you most likely wouldn't be in a position to possibly harm others just yourself. However, if I did business with you, I'd damn sure not want you to bring any controlled substances onto my property.

I currently work in the paper industry where drug lapses (I'll refrain from further use of the word "junkie" in this thread) can cause a loss of limb or even life. Woe is the person that mutilates me while they're on drugs. If I was in that situation like others and able to retaliate, rest assured it will happen.
