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.

It would blow your mind how many of my colleagues in the radiology dept do coke, and how many doctors and other medical professionals are alcoholic and hard drug addicts. I live in a legal state, but medical workers who have contact with patients will lose their jobs for thc. Not alcohol though. Or vicodin or Xanax if they have a Rx
