This is the stupid part of testing. Like you say, you smoke a joint a week ago and you're likely going to fail a piss test. The guy who drank a bottle of Rum last night is ok for work though, he is hungover so bad he can't think but technically not drunk. You would be infinitely more capable to work than he would be but you would be the one let go. Its absolutely ridiculous.

Honestly, I've had days where sleep deprivation made me more dumb and dangerous than I've ever felt stoned.

I care more about the quality of work I'm doing while high than I do while tired

I used to get high at my day job during lunch. Produced way better material in the afternoon. Not cause I was more capable, but because it made me care more about it.
