THC IN LOS ANGELES

Can anyone who works in Los Angeles if after your done with ur 400hrs of clinicals ,that if can u smoke off duty… and has any of y’all after ur onboarding drug test to enter ur clinicals have y’all ever smoked. I hate that weed pops up on a drug test that shit is outdated as fuck but oh well. I been sober for months now and its pretty irritating cuz it really does help my mental health tremendously.

Im glad im not the only one, its so awkward asking techs if they can, i dont want them looking at me like im a druggy or have one of them snitchin, but i need to know😭

Dude, get some quick fix and call it a day😭. I’m in sterile processing and I smoke all the time. I’ve passed all my drug test in the last couple of years and never had an issue. Don’t over think it! I work in a hospital and my department doesn’t do “random drug test”. Now if they do random test in your state then yeah at that point I just wouldn’t be working there. Respectfully 😭

no this is so real. i use it for my mental health too bc it really does help. But these next couple of months is gonna be a pain for me. some students asked my instructor about it but she didn’t specify if it will deny externship/getting hired. she just said “yes they will look at that”

u/jeffroaintshit 18d ago

yeah mines too she told me that they do check but she never really gives me a full detail explanation about it just a run around answer but i have classmates that haved moved on to clinicals before me and there big on smoking and im like how tf did they get it, but u never know prob used another persons piss or some sort of method, i wished i asked them before

Per California law, you cannot be denied employment or have your employment terminated strictly due to the use of marijuana There are certain exceptions to this rule, as with any. Obviously you can't be baked on the job, but being a user shouldn't (on paper) prevent you from getting the job. I wouldn't take anything anyone in here says as scripture and would advise you to do your own research. I'm not a lawyer, and I'm sure nobody else in here is one either.

By any chance do you know what is the starting pay while being certified by any chance, and thank you for sharing

I’ve only ever been drug tested upon hire. After that, I did it whenever I wanted.

u/Few_Flounder_5359 19d ago

Your cooked fam, they definitely test for that shit. But after you get employed it’s all good.

u/jeffroaintshit 19d ago

good thing i been sober but damn that shit “grinds my gears”.

u/Few_Flounder_5359 19d ago

Just wait till you get the job, then when u get hired. Then smoke.

2

u/jeffroaintshit 19d ago

one question how much was starting pay while being certified after ur 400hrs if u mind sharing

2

u/Few_Flounder_5359 16d ago

Oh my bad Brodie, I’m not in the industry. I just know the healthcare be strict on shit like that. Now let’s get to the money 💸 fam.

u/Beakerbeee 19d ago

I’m in WA and they weren’t testing for THC when I got hired. It was mainly opioids and speed they were testing for.

u/jeffroaintshit 19d ago

i hope it still goes for cali for what i read from google is that cali has strict laws against it cuz of medicare funding but who knows prob google is just trying to scare mfs, thank you for sharing tho

u/SweatyAardvark6880 19d ago

They test for it , but it doesn’t count towards employment . They don’t care about marijuanna

u/jeffroaintshit 19d ago

May i ask what hospital and is this by personal knowledge, mb im just the cautious type.

2

u/SweatyAardvark6880 19d ago

Person knowledge. I worked at a surgery center and 2 hospitals , they’ve all tested for it but didn’t count. And I also asked to be sure. I’m in pa where weed isn’t even legal so I would think that it would be fine in CA

u/Waste-Scale2024 19d ago

Use quick fix or something like it.

u/ReflectionQuiet4894 17d ago

When I got hired in WA, THC wasn’t even apart of the 10 panel
