Sad you got caught. Why were you carrying a quantity sizeable enough to smell from across the room anyway? and at work no less.

Never been busted for weed at work but they're always trying it seems.
I work in a heavy Industrial occupation and am subjected to random drug testing at least 1 time a year.
My advice keep your weed in your vehicle and your synthetic urine in your lunch box ready to use with working hand warmers.

i got fired from the liquor store sucking at my job. i prioritized coming to work high and giving everyone an attitude over doing a quality job. i did a great job at that

when i was excavating it was i was working with the owner and the son, he liked it more when we smoked. we were more focused and more gentle on the equipment. when we werent smoking we were just trying to get shit done as fast as we could.

Yah, new job, flunked pee test.Guy said it was the highest he'd seen.....60 days later their trying to hire my ass back...Yes I smoke,buttt I gotta good work ethic........Hell no I didn't go back........ Da Foopers....

i did get the job at the grocery store a while back. they then said "ok now you just need to pass this drug test" and i said "do you care if i use marijuana?" and they lady looked at me like i was fucking retarded and said "yes thank you for your time. next time dont waste ours"

I had a buddy get sent to the Worksafe testing clinic for a random. He met with the tec guy who told him he failed. My buddy started to trip thinking he was going to lose his good paying job, when the tec asked him how much money he had. My buddy met the guy on his break an paid him $100 for a false negative.

I lost a fantastic job over just such an incident. A certain local large bank needed more arbitration clerks as they were rapidly gaining customers for off floor stocks and commodities trading. I got the job through a third party, and technically worked for them, not the bank. I had a lot of prior experience. I did really well and blew people away with my speed and accuracy, so the bank offered me a job directly with them with a 40% pay increase. Then, the horror: my manager let me know about the piss test - "it's okay" he said, "you don't have to take it today. You can take it tomorrow." Shit, thanks. I let my then fiance know that I had to lay off the weed, and I drank gallons of this tea concoction that guaranteed to have me test clean within 24 hours. I took the test on Friday, and went in Monday fingers crossed. At the end of the day, they called me into the president's office. I remember the stunned, sad look on my manager's face when he let me know I failed the test. I acted indignant, and asked to be retested, and that I never smoked MJ and I don't even take aspirin! I almost laughed when he said, "Tyler, it's not that you just tested positive, but you tested SO positive..." I guess there was no doubt, and my dream job went up in smoke, so to speak. Today I'm a degenerate criminal, growing and selling dank ass weed for a living. Didn't see that coming. Fuck it. Life. Whudayagonndo?

Edit - I called the company about their guarantee, and they offered to give me back my $40. So, there's that...

I plan on trying this tactic if I decide to go look for a regular job at some point. I also plan to ask for excessive pay and benefits. I think if I play my self up to them, feed into the " team" BS, and denounce labor regulations, I can BS my way into a decent job. It's all about confidence.

I hate to say it but not looking like a burn out helps lol I don't mind myself matter of fact I find some of it attractive on wemon but tats,metal and extra holes in your body draw extra attention to you.

I personally turned to synthetics for several years for this reason...not a good choice in hind sight but pisss and hair was not an issue...but I couldn't risk my cdl....

Well ive got crazy big holes in my ears and would get jobs that suit me. ie cook, dishwasher, barista, greenhouse slave, factory line slave... wild and impressive to the ladies i imagine.

I worked a job that gave me 100k a year had bout 30-40 random piss tests over 10 years and passed every one without synthetics...but then I got caught drinking beer when I was meant to be off work sick so I got the sack.
such is life morale of the story? don't get caught taking sickies and not being sick lol
at the end of the day if you smoke don't get shitty if you get busted at a drug test and sacked.
move on find another job where you CAN go home each day and have a smoke

life go on people,jobs come n go,fuck it i work to live not live work,im smoking blue mango and to be fair it is pretty stunky,keep stories coming people

A lazy fucker at work years ago tried to get me and the other workers in trouble for smoking weed "all the time" and not doing a good job. In reality we were working very hard and picking up the slack for his useless ass. I got fired and then I threatened to sue for wrongful termination and sue the guy for libel and slander. End of story he got fired, my deserving stoner friend got promoted, and I got two weeks extra pay and my ex boss begging for my forgiveness with his tail between his legs. You're not allowed to fire a medical marijuana patient for using their meds when not operating heavy machinery. Karma is a bitch.

In my scenerio they could not. I was sick at the time and the only reason I was able to work was my reliance On medical marijuana to function. I preformed my job with optimal precision and accuracy. It was partially customer service based and I handed my boss pages of written reviews from satisfied clients. They could not fire me because of my medication. I signed no forms before stating that marijuana or medical marijuana was not allowed. I was open with my employer about my prescription. They couldn't fire me for taking antipsychotics as long as I was stable, could they? It's a situational thing and in my situation they were in the wrong and paid for it.

i keep a bottle of synthetic piss in my work bag, and a hand warmer and leg strap, ,
I also have some of my boys clean piss in the freezer, and some empty 4 ounce plastic flat bottles with temp gauges stuck on,,,
If i get a random, i use the synthetic,, if i get a scheduled test,, i use the frozen piss,, keeps in the freezer for a year easy,, thaw the frozen and strain thru a coffee filter,,, 10 seconds in microwave and strap it to your leg
Practice doing this at home in your own bathroom,, then your ready,, and relaxed

I heard of the piss analysts, looking at the color of piss and smelling it and then accusing the person of using synthetic urine. Trying to get them to incriminate themselves. Not a thing they can do about it, if you don't admit guilt, so I hear.
