In my various careers, starting as an apprentice in an iron foundry, through teaching, through normal community mental health work, to now working in my specialist areas, a grand total of too many jobs to remember, I have NEVER been asked to give a drug test sample.Crackpot wrote:What you not have to take the obligatory drug test in your line of work?

Then you would probably be unemployed here in the USA.I wouldn't take a job which asked me to do so.
I don't they check for alcohol (your mileage may vary).Though I am now thinking it may have not been a good idea to have a couple of beers last night.
You should have informed them of any prescriptions you were taking. Actually, they should have asked you about any meds you might be on. They asked me when I took my test.Heck I'm wondering if the perfectly legal dug cocktail I'm on might not give them pause.

)Aren't these tests usually specific? They test for cannabis, cocaine, amphetamines and opiates. If it's a UDS (urine drug screen,) I'm sure that is the case., It's when they give you whole blood analysis that other stuff would be picked up. And if they ever start doing that it REALLY is time to move country.You should have informed them of any prescriptions you were taking.
