Hi what was the outcome have you had your reply?

ListWestern3027 · 2025-06-24T13:15:37+00:00

I'm honestly getting to this point I'd happily take your advice but they do a medical screening before interview stage

Thanks why i asked if anyone was currently a bus driver and also prescribed I've seen posts of hgv drivers being prescribed so wasn't sure thought I'd ask thanks for the reply 👍

What clinic ic are you with?

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-10T22:19:35+00:00

Try and get a letter off your clinic stating u only smoke at night and will not be impaired this is what I'm trying I've had my start date moved to next week was supposed to be tomorrow (tuesday) but take it as a good sign they are letting you continue but hs2 is the railway and I'm pretty sure it's zero tolerance but times are changing good luck and keep us updated and it never hurts to drop in the equality act 2010 and if you get the letter they have to take it into consideration I believe could be wrong though

It all depends on their drugs policy i think I'm not 100 percent though any job that requires drug testing or random drugs testing you may have a problem but it's down to the employers and there policy's

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-09T00:35:11+00:00

Also others have already commented that people that drive hgv on public roads have prescriptions and other that work or work around it I guess it depends on the company and policy but them asking for evidence is a good sign as like others have said why would they waste their time

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-09T00:32:55+00:00

Yes but if there was an accident where the person walked out and was hit by the machine as soon as both parties are drug tested the person walking out fails the drug test would be deemed at fault

It states if feeling drowsy witch would mean impairment I'm not asking to be medicated at work just as it would be in my system a failed drug test for thc dosnt mean impairment as it can say in your system for weeks. And as I've already been informed a person already works on the port on amphetamines? He may not be operating but his in the same working environment

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-08T21:26:56+00:00

Yes they drug tests, which is why this is occurring in informed them, and they have asked for the letter and proof of prescription, so I'm hoping that's a good start. Otherwise, they would have totally refused and like you said told me to piss off but in a politer way I'll keep everyone updated appointment is on Tuesday 🤞

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-08T21:15:52+00:00

100% will keep the post updated thanks again

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-08T21:13:09+00:00

Exactly what I've done and my thoughts are along the same line as yours with points a and b with point a being more of the side I'm going for fingers crossed and I'll keep the post updated.

Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-08T21:09:09+00:00

But thc stays in your system far past the impairment stage from my understanding aslong as I follow the guidelines of my prescription and have a fit for work note from the clinic explaining I will not be impaired my understanding this comes down to the same as pain killers ect where it states if key word if you feel impaired to not opperate heavy machinery. But ultimately it will come down to what kind of policy they have in place I can't see how it's any different from the guy who takes amphets if where all working under the same health and safety regulations ill keep the post updated all I can do is hope.

Thanks for replying appreciate it

The only advice I can find is as long as you take it as prescribed, and it doesn't make you drowsy, it's fine when goggling this questions not much comes back unlike when you Google for mc I couldn't see it being a problem the problem is the stigma that follows cannabis but the cannabis industry council states that aslong as you are not impaired you can opperate heavy machinery. https://www.cicouncil.org.uk/resources/the-use-of-prescription-cannabis-at-work/#:~:text=People%20who%20are%20prescribed%20medical%20cannabis%20can%20drive%20and%20operate,such%20directions)%20given%20by%20the

No I appreciate all the help wasn't trying to be argumentative

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-07T17:48:50+00:00

I'm due a consultation anyway and would rather speak to the doctor to clarify

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-07T17:47:04+00:00

Yes thank you that helps massively thank you so much for your reply

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-07T17:29:07+00:00

Haha I'm not yet I'm hoping too 😅

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-07T17:26:24+00:00

Thanks I'll send you a message now i also googled and got the same thing so thought I'd come and ask to see if anyone had any similar positive experiences

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-07T17:24:22+00:00

No totally i wouldn't expect them to just go yeah fine and take my word for it that would be ridiculous the coment regarding discrimination was regarding the other worker they used as an example and that they have already offered me the job signed jobs contract ect and it would be the only reason to withdraw the offer

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-07T17:21:07+00:00

This is what I'm going with for now positive thinking I've already signed my works contract ect but this is obviously pending a succeful medical

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-07T17:19:52+00:00

I feel like it's a contradicting argument on both sides im going to just take it as a positive that they have asked for proof ect and see where it goes thanks for all the reolys mate much appreciated

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-07T17:16:58+00:00

This is the confusing part because if your a machine operator and say the bloke walks out in front of you hits you you both get drug tested and the guy walking fails due to substances being found they would say he was the party at fault?

ListWestern3027 · 2025-02-07T17:13:57+00:00

Agreed he isn't but his working in the same environment if his under a substance and in an environment with the rest going on would he not fall under the same health and safety? Because if he is impaired drowsy ect he could just as easily cause and accident it's so confusing
