My recruiter told me companies in Texas no longer screen drug test for Marijuana/THC during background checks. It was one check taken off the screening.

Is this true? Work can be stressful. Anything helps.

I got drug tested at ACN for a client project. If your client is a federal contractor they may often be required to drug test all of their employees and vendors including you and you may unfortunately be stuck with the stupid federal rules.

It is easy to get around, however. I love drugs. You just have to know when your client test is coming up and you can't be so hardcore of a weed user that two or three weeks notice won't clear your system out.

PwC does not drug test (anywhere) but plenty of clients chose and are allowed to under their MSAs with us. Usually the tests come with plenty of notice to get it out of your system though…

Most companies consulting specifically don’t cause it gets pricey so unless the company wants it done and will pay for it, unlikely it happens. Worked for NTT based in Texas and they didn’t, same for Honeywell and accenture/AFS

While companies might not test anymore, clients may ask for testing on their project teams which is where the problems arise.

Marijuana Current State:

not legal federally

not legal in Texas

Change is in the works, but don’t risk it if you don’t have to. I’ve had to take a drug screen for all my clients. Plenty of notice…

I work in Texas and have had a lot a lot of clients/jobs. Never been drug tested.

You guys get drug tested??

Depends on your client 100%

For what it’s worth, I’m in Texas and haven’t heard anything of the sort. I also have not been drug tested, so YMMV.
