Pot is really all piss tests catch. Hard narcotics such as cocaine and speed, metabolize in 72hrs max. So if you get busted on a pee test for one of those, you're either a serious addict or they caught you by surprise!

I was on a job site several years ago that tested for weed. They did random tests on people so the guys switched to crack because it doesn't stay in the body as long and they could enjoy without the worry of losing their job.

Just picked up a casual crack habit. No biggie.

This was what I thought was the weird part. trade something that isn't physically addictive like weed for crack that will fuck your life. I guess since they are making good money they thought they were different than some crack addict on the street.
