whats the point of "legalizing marijuana " if when you get approved for your id it means shit when it comes to a "drug test" a cocain addict can stop for 3 days and pass but if u go and get ur legal id card, pay $$ dor that card as well after going to the docs for yrs for therapy, spending $$ on specialist and then u get ur id it means shit to these employers.
if you have a medical marijuana id thc should be excluded from the test. if not then whats the point?
This is the battle of the medical community. When I first moved to Oregon I did a ton of research on the matter and at the time there was even a case in the state's Supreme Court. The reality is the govt. leaves it to an employer's discretion. If an employer chooses to allow medically authorized users to be employed, then they would have to allow non-medical users as they would open themselves up to lawsuits for discrimination. Same thing that happens with them having to keep a junkie after they hire them because you can't fire someone over an "addiction," as the law recognizes it as a medical condition. It's in their best interest to simply bar it all until it's federally mandated they can't discriminate against us.
This is why there's such a huge industry in "detox" and substitutions. Prohibition has created entire industries that would crumble if us pot heads were allowed to work freely like coke heads, tweekers, junkies and alcoholics can. Drug testing facilities would lose business, prisons would lose funding and cops would have to go back to helping their communities instead of discriminating against a major sub culture. State leaders would have to follow the same rules as the rest of us and it would be a real stitch in their sides.
On your situation, my guess is you should be good. Last test I pissed for I quit two weeks prior to and was clean-ish. Barely passed the test. At the time I weighed about 130 lb., 5'6" and wasn't terribly active yet (was for a job on the oil patch in Texas). You're about the size/build of my brother and he cleans up in roughly the same time that I do. If you're sweating it, get some synthetic urine. Most head shops have it for between $20 and $60 depending on your state's medical status and level of drug testing in the area. The more federal/mega-corp jobs, the higher the price ime. Good luck, most of us have sweat this stupid step in the hiring process way more than necessary.
