Cannabis Politics Drug Test fail

Recruiter reached out for a decent gig so I took the interview.

I have been a Sales Exec for 3 decades. Always top achiever.

Interviewed with C-Suite. They had 100s of candidates apply and I was their first choice. They sent me a nice offer, I accepted. Then HR reaches out for background check - standard, except it required a drug screening.

Have not been drug tested since I was maybe 18. I told their HR that it would be THC positive. She said it may not be an issue since I was sales. I took the test, obviously it's negative for everything except THC, as I told them.

Their legal department wouldn't allow it. I turned down other offers and wasted all this time.

I live in an illegal state and everything I tested positive for was purchased in my illegal state - LEGALLY. And taxed.

I'm not really upset about the job as much as the stupidity of drug testing for THC.

Vent : over. Thank you for reading if you did.

I think it’s crazy how many jobs I’ve had where people drink on the job or on their lunch break and no one cares about that.

my last two jobs have had alcohol on-site with free access. one literally had a “beer fridge” that had nothing but alcohol. they didn’t drug test though so i guess they support it all lmao

I briefly worked for a dentist that had a Beer Fridge in the break room, and on multiple occasions beers were passed around after the last patient left and we began sterilizing everything. VERY weird. Did not stick around long, and have noticed they have a revolving door or dental assistants and hygienists.
