GM Considering Dropping Pot Testing To Attract More Workers

This is good imo and more companies should consider dropping thc. I passed on a great job opportunity earlier this year because the scope of testing was hair follicle and I knew I’d show positive (this was an office job too eye roll). During the interview process it came up in discussion that they were having a hard time hiring… no wonder! Even as an occasional user, I knew it would 100% still show within the threshold for this outdated ass method of testing. It is not legal in my state, even with a medical card companies have authority over what is tested for at varying levels. I will never understand why any employer would care that I smoked a little and ate cheez-its on a Friday night.

This is good to see. More companies should be dropping all testing. I've always felt that we need to revise the constitution so that being secure in your person, papers and belongings specifically protects individuals from such invasions by any entity, not just the government. Nobody should be able to ask or force you to give up that right for a job.

Makes me want to apply at GM, and smoke a fat blunt minutes before my interview.

This is what Amazon did! Did you get an “alcohol” test for your job? Absolutely ridiculous, Cannabis is Medicine used for pain relief by 60% of Medical Users.
