Do you know how management views drug testing?
It's a freakin' IQ test, especially the initial one that you take to get hired. You know you've applied for a job. You go through an interview process. You know you're going to have to take a drug test. Are you smart enough not to smoke up so you can get the job?
Later, it's an IQ test and an easy way to get rid of bad employees. You know you have a good job. There are rules to follow to keep the good job. Are you smart enough to follow the rules? Are you good enough at your job that we'll keep you if you fail? 11/29/2007 1:25:52 PM |

you should just be honest
email them (so it's recorded, for legal purposes)
and simply say,
"Before you waste money on a test,
I should tell you that I use ____ a few times a year,
but always in a very responsible setting and never in a way that affects my job performance.
Is that going to be a problem?"
Unless they're a government puppet or trapped in the 1950's
they'll say, "Thanks for your honesty. No, it won't be a problem as long as it doesn't become one."

I don't think they could do that. They'd lose their insurance coverage. Everyone's balls are in a vice in these situations. As pointed out above, it's a convenient excuse to get rid of employees, get rid of insurance claims, etc, etc. 11/29/2007 1:52:28 PM |

while you're at it, tell the boss what kind of porn you like to whack it to, enjoy erotic-asphyxiation by hanging and always measure the load when you go #2.
there is such a thing as being too honest, you know. additionally, isnt your whole deal that 'whatever you do in your house is your business?'....why would you then take it out of your house?

haha exactly. now you see that stoners like 392 and wd and others are clearly unable to think rationally, due to their chemical ties to "recreational drugs". weak minded individuals cannot get out from under the shroud that drugs cast upon their shriveled up little brains, and so they resort to name calling and jargon-slinging as methods of dealing with those of us who are normal11/29/2007 2:54:43 PM |

honesty is absolute, it's dishonesty that varies by degree
what you mean to say is, "there is such a thing as being not dishonest enough"
Quote : | "additionally, isnt your whole deal that 'whatever you do in your house is your business?'....why would you then take it out of your house?" |
to preempt the employers testing of what you do "in your house"

cause the occasional line of coke or unprescribed valium are as taboo as what you described there
and besides, I would think that employers very rarely inquire about an applicants sexual habits, etc.
Quote : | "telling the company just makes them liable" |
if you're really qualified and they want to hire you, they'll be willing to work with that
Quote : | "then go crazy all coked up and break a bunch of shit or something like that. what can they say?" |
they'd say, "you need help" and then pay for your treatment, after which you'd return to the job
(and that's quite a stretch, remember we're assuming that the applicant is responsible....)

WOW! I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
insurance companies are in the business of "gambling"
if they want to charge higher premiums for people who openly speed, do drugs, skydive, or other "risky" behavior
that only makes sense
it's their job to be as judgmental as one "stuck in the 1950's"

^ you missed the point, stoner (as can be expected)
the analogy is that this is the same mentality that employers have - they want to minimize risk by testing their employees for substances that can affect their workplace by affecting their employees' lives. theres a lot of similarity there, if i need to spell it out for you let me know.
but if you use drugs, and have health insurance, you either are in agreement with paying a higher premium for your drug use, or you falsified information on your applications. both of which are a LOSER move 11/29/2007 4:17:43 PM |

Ive got 392 figured out. He posts the stupidest, most non-sensical thing he can think of, gets a rise out of the person he is debating with, then posts the next stupidest thing he can come up with to further skew the argument, preventing any rationale discourse.
Folks, he is now advocating cocaine use as being no big deal and 'recreational.'
