S/o does your worksite drug test?

Current employer, no.

Previous employer, yes. They had a warehouse and didn’t want to only test the warehouse workers so they randomly tested all of us. I think I was tested two or three times in the three years I worked there.

No. I work for state government and there are no drug tests for either agency I’ve worked for. That explains how one of my coworkers is still there...

Dd3 had to have a drug test for one of the computer software programming internships she got. I have two dds in computer programming and only one place has required that from their collective internships and jobs.

I‘Ve  had friends, who were more than occasional smokers,  stop for a lot less than a month and pass.  They drank a lot of water (and peed a lot ) to flush their systems.  Whether it always works or they were just lucky...whose knows?  Good luck.

I just started a new job a month ago. It's the first time I did not have to do a drug screening for employment, nor do they drug screen randomly.

The only staff that drug tests are the ones that teach classes in the prison/jails. It's a requirement they have put on us. We do not drug test unless you are injured - then we make them drug test. 

I'm glad we don't - I'm pretty sure a good handful of our staff smoke weed. It's legal in California but would still show up on a test. 

We didn't have to do any sort of testing for my job. I work for a comics and collectibles dealer, and can (and have) show up to the office in a tshirt and shorts. We can't be any more laid back.

I said Other. Simply because I am often times the one collecting the samples from my offenders. My employer does not require testing, however, if an employee represents with mannerisms that suggest use, they will send up home. If it continues, they will require testing.

If you drink too much water, the testing can recognize that and it's considered tamering with a test.  Too much liquid before a test dilutes your creatinine and makes testing invalid.

Makes sense.  I wonder if they gave it a few days after stopping drinking as much ( and I think you have to be careful, as you hear stories about tragic outcomes from too much fluids) if that will allow your sample to not be diluted?  All I know is I was shocked when they said they had passed. Also this was probably 5 or more years ago, I wonder if testing has changed?

I find the peas so knowledgeable on so many subjects.  Thanks for sharing your experiences.   Weird stuff like this fascinates me. 

I work for a municipality. We have to pass both a drug test and a pre-employment physical before a conditional job offer becomes official. We can be drug tested at any time. Typically, it only happens after a workman's comp claim or a car accident in a village owned vehicle for any of the office employees. The guys who work with me in Public Works and the police officers are tested on a random basis, but everyone tests at least 2x per year. We have a budget line item for our department for drug testing. One of my duties is to use at least 85% of that line item each fiscal year. Our PW department does one whole crew test every year between Labor Day and Thanksgiving, just before plowing season kicks off. In fact, I just scheduled it with the coordinator this week.

Mine does not, but Dh's worksites have.

Dh was active duty in the Navy for 23+ years - regular random testing throughout. That is the reality of everyone serving in the military. He isn’t tested in his current job.

While teaching at the university level, I was never tested over the 15 years I was employed.

Nope. I'm an RN and state employee. My husband is also a state employee and zero drug testing.

I haven't worked in 20+ years but yes, the only jobs I didn't have to be drug tested before employment were my two DoD internships - all my other jobs (grocery cashier/stocker and fast food) required it

DH works in engineering for a factory - pre-employment tests, random tests, and automatic tests if there's an accident. Supervisor can also request a test if they feel its warranted. It's pretty randomly generated and even if you're working from home - you have a set amount of time to go to work or an independent lab for a test if your name gets pulled.
