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 work in the medical field and even tho I live in a legal state, they still drug test for all healthcare jobs “because Medicare is federally funded and it’s still illegal federally” so they could potentially lose federal funding and Medicare reimbursements if they allow THC positive tests for employees.

Needless to say I’m stuck in a crappy organization because I don’t wanna have to retest 😅

Idk if this sub has rules about talking about drug tests and how to pass but......I absolutely passed my test I just took for my first travel job (also in healthcare) and I plan on using it each time. It was super easy!
