I got laid off in December and I have been actively looking since then. I hold a bachelor's degree in accounting, but I have no formal experience as an accountant yet.

I have noticed the last few weeks that it seems like more companies are requiring drug testing than a few months ago. I do not sit around getting high all day every day, but I do use it to help with pain and sleep at night. I would qualify for a medical card if I had the funds to pursue it.

If it’s legal in the state you should be fine. If it becomes a problem while you’re at work then it’s an issue.

Medical cards are $100-200 and if you are reliant on it then save up or throw it on a credit card. Otherwise quit until you get a job, most places only do the test once as part of screening

If you get the card and they require a test then yeah I’d let the recruiter know you have one to help you sleep. Otherwise no reason to tell anyone. Even if the post says they test, don’t say anything until the recruiter confirms you have to test.

Also review your state’s laws. The card should protect you in all, but in some states like CA you’re protected even without a card, while in others companies can disqualify you even if it’s legal in your state

Thank you. That was an aspect I had been wondering about too.

A recruiter I spoke to several months back told me most companies are not checking for thc. Should I try to just tough it out? Or is it something I can bring up if I receive an offer? Should I not mention it at all?

I don't get it.... Are you bragging or what?

I am genuinely asking a question. I don't see what could be bragging in my post. I've never really had to apply to jobs like this and I needed advice.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?
