I may be receiving an offer next week. Should be cause for happiness, right? The problem is that due to the arthritis in my hips and that joy of women everywhere, HOT FLASHES, I have a medical marijuana card. I can get at least part of a decent night's sleep with that. But you know what's coming - new employee testing. They don't have a posted policy and this would not be a safety- related role. Anyone been in this situation? I'm trying to figure out the best way to ask/ tell them. Thoughts?

I had the first drug test requirement ever 2 years ago and this was right after some serious family issues during the pandemic where I took a lot of CBD full spectrum to manage my greif and anxiety. I am a remote worker but my company HQ was located in a state where CBD was not legal yet, so naturallyI freaked out! Thankfully my test showed no THC but I had to be prepared with a justification in case it registered. I think understanding or researching HR employment laws would not hurt and you are not the first or last person to ever worry about tris. Good luck.

Thanks! I also take CBD. so we'll see. I guess if I ask and they say no, then it wasn't for me anyway!

Drug testing only tests for "illegal substances." They do not report/test for things you are taking legally. This means if you have a prescription for the substance, it shouldn't appear on the report, even if you test positive. However, definitely contact the lab and ask, and check out the laws in your state.

Hello everyone,
I need to get some insights on how I can "dispute" with insurance company beyond a certain stage. Father went through prostrate surgery few months back. The urologist went for a genome analysis with a 3rd party company to determine if the threat was cancerous enough. They might have done that with our consent (i.e it may be done with all the paperwork that people usually glean through). The 3rd party company said that insurance did not cover it and insurance says

Help me get over my covid anxiety: had plans with a friend but they got exposed to covid. Got a neg rapid test but feel like they have a sore throat and still want to hang. Given rapids don’t necessarily detect omicron plus the symptoms, I’m a bit concerned. I’m WAAAY more cautious than most when it comes to covid (not doing indoor events yet, still masking). We’d be outdoors anyways, so do I put my anxiety aside and risk it or ask them to get a PCR and just postpone to next week?
