marijuana friendly work place

I just recently started to look for a job, and realized that many places do drug test their employees. I got to thinking and thought that this was worthy of a yahooka thread. Everyone list the places that you know, national companies that are in a large part of the country, that dont drug test. Ill start the list with my new place of employement, dunkin donuts.

I'd like to think I've seen a website that has a compiled list of companies that don't drug test. Can't find it, though.

Good to hear Dunkin Donuts doesn't test. What kind of hours do they have you working?

That's really cool - it's important to keep a balance between work and school...

don't let work get in the way of the real work of school.

I've worked in corporate America for over 20 years, I've been drug tested twice, both times I simply quit smoking for 30 days in advance and I passed.

Once was for Price Club, the other was for a Security Systems company (I was fingerprinted and background checked for that one too).

But none of the companies I've worked for were national either.

I have never been drug tested for any company I've worked for, in 20 years. It might be their policy to do so, but never have I seen it happen.

One place I did work, however, an advertising company, never tested. I even heard the CEO mention how they would never do this because their people "need to be creative."

Nice...

Additionally, I really frickin' like donuts...

I used to work at this Shell station, and they never drug tested me. I would toke in the bathrooms while I was cleaning them, and sometimes in the freezer. It was hella cold in there, and sometimes I could see people looking at the drinks while I toked

i've never had to worry about it. i work in a high-end department store and they sure as shit don't test any new employees whatsoever. none of my co-workers smoke pot, so I'd be the only one out of all employees that wouldn't be working there, had they tested.

this is the first time I haven't worked with a militia of potheads as associates. i wonder if i'm "obvious" even in formal attire that we're required to wear. me being the only space cadet is like being gay in the baptist church or being heterosexual in san francisco.

...at least it's not like being the only sheep in scotland.

i've only failed a drug test once, and it was kinda sprung on me on my first day. they hired me i started and bam they sent me for a drug test. sucked.
if you know in advance, you only really have to stop smoking for two days, take your cleanser of choice, and voila, you are good to go. it's lame to go work somewhere just because they don't drug test.

truly.
you need drugs to even be able to deal with most jobs. entry level jobs have their fair share of people who work for the purpose of fulfilling habit needs' from anything minor like pot to as crooked as crack.

Here is the solution....

Go to a foundry or factory. Go get someone elses piss, preferably clean, rubberband it to the strings on the shorts you'll be wearing under your pants. Go in bathroom and pour that piss into the desired cup, serve it up to the lady at the counter and walk out the door.

Make 16-18 bucks an hour. I smoke weed all night at the factory on 3rd shift. Go to 3rd.
