I do because it's like an invasion of privacy kind of thing. I really wanted to be a doctor and do good things in life but today I found out they get random piss tests and I'm like fuck it I'd rather be a stoner and sell drugs and get in fights and rob people and steal stuff.

Replies dm13 Posted at 12:20 pm on July 3, 2009 I'm pretty torn on this subject.  I mean, I smoke weed and I'm looking for a job and its a pain in the ass to find one that doesn't drug test, so that is a bad thing.  On the other hand I understand why businesses don't want drug users working for them, but at the same time what a worker does on their time is their business.  The problem shouldn't be the worker being a drug user, the problem should be workers on drugs while at work, that should be grounds for immediate dismissal, imo. meghank91 Posted at 12:17 pm on July 3, 2009 I got tested for drugs when I worked at a nursing home. It makes sense to me. Who wants a druggie stealing pills from old ladies? Acustico23 Posted at 12:15 pm on July 3, 2009 It is an invasion of privacy. It should be assumed that you will do your work sober and not under the influence. You should only be tested if you are demonstrating signs of intoxication while on the job. What you do at home is no ones business in the work place. WAZ Posted at 12:15 pm on July 3, 2009 Depends on the job. I know i wouldnt want a PCP using docter MushroomSatsujin Posted at 12:14 pm on July 3, 2009 For some jobs it is. In mine I work with machinery so Its understandable.

I think it's good, depending on the job. Angry Kumquat Posted at 12:12 pm on July 3, 2009 It's perfectly sensible.
