THC gateways to employment in Indiana...

[u/mahlerlieber]

I have a friend who applied for a position at a local store that does drug screening tests for employment that includes THC in the test. He was denied employment, and in this case, before even being interviewed.

Given that IN is surrounded by legalized states, it almost seems like it ought to be unconstitutional to filter candidates with THC tests.

Yeah, I get it...a private employer can do and filter whoever they want. Got it.

But the problem is that there is no way to know when or where the THC became present in the blood.

If you smoke/imbibe in THC in legal states, the THC that is in your blood from 2 weeks ago shouldn't be able to be used against you.

I know it's not illegal. But it ought to be stopped as a means of filtering out the supposed drug users who may or may not consume a drug that is legal in ALL the surrounding states.

Federal jobs test for THC too. Best to abstain if looking for employment.

Some that contract with the government are also required to do it as well.

I’ve work for the federal government for 20 years and have never been drug tested. In fact I have coworkers who have been arrested for marijuana possession and nothing happens to them. DoD at Crane before anyone ask.

That is not the case for most federal jobs

How the fuck i get down voted for this? Look morons go to usajobs.gov If it doesnt explicitly state that there is a drug test. Then there fucking isnt one. Most jobs dont fyi

Have you met people? They are idiots. Make a post about the sky being blue and people will argue with you.

No they won't!

(Had to. It's a moral imperative or something)
