I HAVE TO PASS A URINE test

I HAVE TO PASS A URINE test FOR MY JOB...



Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it

See's fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem.



What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have

to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem

with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their *,

doing drugs, while I work. . .



Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

Something has to change in this country -- and soon!

    When I had to take the drug test I always asked for a Mason jar, once I got started I didn't want to stop with that little jar. Had to take Drug and Alcohol test for years on my job and if they want to collect welfare they should have to test also.

    I agree with the above.
    I also have to pass a random UA and wish it was required for all the freeloaders living on my dime.
    Not to say that ALL in need of public assistance are ne'er do wells, but the fact is, MANY are.
    I fear however, nothing will change until the populace takes up arms against the machine and the special interest groups.

    Dan... Fact is.It ain't gonna change.Problem is,Gvnmt. would rather fire you, than hire "them".
    Worried about the doobie you smoked, on your own time?
    "THE STUFF". Check your local GNC, record store. If U go to GNC, ask for DETOXIFIER/CLENSER.Do not mention drug test.

    they cant give them a peeeeeck most would fail[:(] and then with no gov check there would be lots and lots of poor dirty homeless druggies all over the place in daylight [:0](what would the UN say)or the world[?] crime would go up nobody from other countries would want to come here
    (land of milk and honey)
    ([?] do we still make milk and honey here[?]).
    seems gov wants to keep them out of site most of the time they dont even have to get out to get there free pass it gets put on there little debt card while they r resting (hard work not working). if we keep giving them a check they might only come out at night and the world wont see all of them at one time.




    Crap its 3:30am here hope my public assistance check came in.

    pickenup said "Politicians should have to pass the test TOO."

    +1

    How come a firearms purchaser has to be checked out and a politician that may become president, and start a neuclear war, doesn't have to drug test?[:(!]

    Most techniques are minimally effective at best. Marijuana is stored in fat cells and the supplements that temporary push the THC out of your kidneys don't work very often either. You're best bet is not to smoke dope. If you do something besides marijuana then you probably have other issues.

    I would be in favor of blood testing if they are going to test at all, for employment purposes. I personally would refuse to give blood lol, but IF they want to make sure you aren't high at work, that is the only way to do it. That will tell them if you are high at that specific time. I am not a drug user, but if someone wants to smoke a joint on friday night, which will make them fail a urine test on monday morning, i don't think it is their employer's business.
    However, if people are spending their welfare check to smoke pot on friday nights, that is a different story and i support urine testing for them.

    problem with most welfare/freeloaders is that they are so screwed up, they would blow the urine machine up when it spikes on controlled substances, due to doctors perscriptions to keep them normal.[:o)]

    Urine tests are also not reliable. I have personally failed one where it showed up positive for opiates, and i can tell you i had not taken any drugs whatsoever. I had eaten a sausage egg and cheese on a poppy seed bagel for breakfast.

    i don't do drugs, so i don't worry about the urine test. The problem with requiring welfare leeches to pass a urine test is, some one in the ACLU will deem it worng and take it to court for infringing on someone's right to be stoned and unable to work.

    I don't worry about legitimately failing one- i would avoid anything with poppy seeds in it in the future if i knew i was going to take one however- i worry about my employer thinking they can butt into my life outside of work when it has nothing to do with what i do at work.

    This must be urinalysis month for Gunbroker. I just had to take my 6th one since March. There's only 4 people in my Company (Commander, First Sergeant, 2 Ops NCO's--that's where I come in) and we have to do a 10% test every month. In other words, it's a 25% every month and I seem to get tagged almost every time.

    About nine years ago, after I stopped drinking and drugging, I had to take one to get a job. I asked the lady who gave me the test to put a smiley face on the report. I explained to her that I would have never been able to pass one before. [:D][;)]

    It is the way it is because idiots who apply for a job will pee in a cup. I won't. Never have, never will.

    Just not going to happen. Don't want me the way I am? Don't hire me.

    Guess this is why I'm self-employed. [}:)][}:)][}:)]

    I don't require my employees to take a pee test, just for the record. HOWEVER, if they are drunk/high on MY TIME, then they are GONE. The first time. No warnings, no second chances. They know it, and I've never had to get rid of a SINGLE person in 10 years. Not one.

    Hey you guys got a good idea there. clean pee test=welfare check...dirty test=no welfare check........I'll bet that same idea would be good for this too..........clean pee test=ability to own/purchase firearms... dirty test=no ownership/purchase of firearms. Yep, some in our society think welfare is bad just as many in our society think firearms are bad. Even trade off don't ya think.

    Since there have been a few mentions of products intended to be added to urine to defeat drug screens- Uhhhhhh.... y'all DO realize that labs now routinely test for those additives? And a few of them, while they WILL suppress evidence of cannabis usage, may give a false or enhanced positive result for amphetamines.

    How nice that the corrupt, lying politicians allow corporations to routinely violate a person's privacy and BODY in the name of control and profit. Does anyone really believe that the thinking behind the widespread use of drug tests is to make things better or safer?

    What I miss about the military is that when we did urine tests, someone's job was to stare at my coch.

    Nobody looks at it now. [:p]
