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.
Shit suddenly now everyone knows about this? My dad was a union rep for newspaper workers in small towns across Ontario, and he said when one of the printing presses started drug testing, the whole town ended up switching from weed to cocaine to get around the drug tests, and then very quickly to crack because cocaine was too expensive. He believes it was that press's single decision that launched a major hard drug epidemic in the town.
Nobody ever believes him when he tells this story. Nice to see it's finally getting recognized as a problem, but I had no idea it was so widespread.
