My brother just got an offer, contingent upon passing a drug test, from Cardinal Health. He is certain to fail. Any strategies to use his medical patient status to retain the offer?

I know someone at Cardinal who was an external contractor that requested a less comprehensive drug test and was granted it. Worth a shot

Definitely - thanks!

Had to recently do a drug test at Quest. I had a pretty shy bladder and was very nervous about using the facilities at a lab where they conducted COVID tests as well. At first I thought the person giving me tests was just kidding but he asked at least 5 times if I wanted to pay $50 to be marked as “passed”. I waited for another 1.5 hrs until I could really pee. Came home and showered for an hour straight. First time I’ve seen someone ask for bribe, in USA

Sorry but some people are putting out bad info about marijuana “prescriptions” here. Let me clarify:


Since it is still illegal at the federal level, technically doctors can not write a prescription for Medical Cannabis. However, they are able to write a recommendation for Medical Cannabis which you can then take to a Dispensary to get filled.

So no, your brother isn’t going to get a prescription and it’s not going to save his ass.

I’m sorry he’s in this position but I don’t understand why he’s even pursue a job at a life sciences or healthcare firm if he knew the drug test would be a problem.

If he had known this would still be an issue. The easy solution is to ask for a urine test to show he has been clean in recent weeks. The best solution would be to come clean and then get permission to continue treatment even after he is hired. This isn’t a cover up if recreational use, he has legitimate diagnoses for which he prefers this treatment over anti-depressants or other medications that have more dangerous, longer-lasting effects... some people with anxiety don’t want to pump themselves full of those drugs

Nothing is open so you can’t go in for a drug test. Or “I’m a bit sick so I can’t get out for a few days to be cautious and will give the drug test in 14 days once I know it’s not corona”

The issue is that weed is always “recommended” and not “prescribed”, which may or may not be an issue. We’ll see

Time to turn your brother into Mr. Clean lol 🪒

Is it just weed? If so, he may pass by just drinking a lot of water after one week. I mean a lot. Maybe 4 or 5 gallons of water a day.

It’s a hair follicle test - he will not pass

Turns out weed is never prescribed, it’s called “recommended” - so it’s really up to the company to decide if they will let u switch to a different drug test that can prove you haven’t consumed in recent weeks - such as urine. Shaving ur head, bleaching ur hair, or expensive shampoos all seem to be ineffective treatments for the hair follicle test

Hair follicle, yeah he’s screwed...unless he has like a month before the test to grow new hair. There are a bunch of masking agents out there but that’s also auto fail for a lot of companies.

like

One of my friends once bleached all of his hair for something like this

He is bleaching and then dying back brown so they don’t just immediately fail him or take other body hair (he will be fully shaved)

Drugs are bad m’kay?

funny

Pure cranberry juice. Apple cider vinegar. A lot of both for 6 days

Yeah, that type of stuff only works for urine tests and quite effectively. Yeah, I didn’t know anyone still did these stupid tests, except for maybe commercial truck drivers or pilots

like

You can get drug tests at CVS. Do them until clean / flushed it out

It’s just hair, no urine

Unfortunately, just because it’s legal in the state doesn’t preclude a company from following suit, meaning they can enforce their own rules about testing

I get that - which is why I’m looking for cases of someone who failed and still got the job. I know it can happen if ur open and forthcoming. Check out XI
