Guess someone has a problem

Guess someone has a problem with me giving an honest answer to that question. Been denied 3 times now. I will try to rewrite it with some different vocabulary and a less direct answer

My Dr and the ER are the only

My Dr and the ER are the only ones requesting drug tests from me but that is more to monitor the Rx levels in my body. I've worked in fields that "required" it but was never given one although legally I could be given one at any time. Coast guard inspected dive boats, Japan where possession gets you a decade in jail --especially if you  are a for-eigner. The last company I worked for (foods hole) did drug tests as needed but did not test for kannabis. Usually most employers are concerned with hairy-on, meeth, koke, and Rx drugs and things like that, not cannabis and it costs them money to administer. It is more of a threat to keep you scared to follow the rules than to actually do it to constantly monitor employees. I did have a friend fail a drug test at work for cannabis recently but he was sort of "being watched" for other problems and hadn't smoked for more than a week so he was pretty angry but is not being fired or punished in any way, he is now just "in trouble" like he is a child but no real punishment like he was just verbally scolded. If you are worried about it, buy the fakee uriiine to fool those tests and keep it with you at work so if they spring a test on you by surprise you are prepared any day any time. They are easy to use, are guaranteed to work, and they do, I've know several people who swear by them and have never failed with it. Medical professionals, commercial drivers license who have stricter rules, and probably lots more that you would never suspect. They work even if the person has to watch you and actually looks at your genitals like some perveert. The irony is you could be drinking alcohool and smoking krack and 24 hours later pass one of those stuupid tests since those drugs pass through your system so fast but herb lingers. You would basically need to be drinking or doing drugs right before you walk into work for them to "bust" you on anything other than kannabis. Frustrating and dumbb. Have a fakee uriine test ready or kind of don't worry about it and just think if they do spring a drug test on you either strait up refuse, or take it and fail with pride and if they make a big deal about it or try to fire you laugh in their faces and walk out with a big smile on your face- you don't want to work for foools like that. Now that it is completely legal in several states and used medically in more than 50% of the USA they can't use it to fire you at least in those places. How many people are on dopiates or other nnarcotics and fail?- oh you have a Rx from your Dr -ok no problem get back to work. The Rx's I'm on now would probably confuse and overload it and make those drug tests fail me on everything.
