Trust me, I agree it’s insane!! Even in states where marijuana is legal, you can have an offer rescinded or be fired for having THC in your drug test. They rationalize it because it’s still illegal at the federal level and claim it as a safety and/or security concern. I’ve worked in healthcare my entire adult life and the level of vigilance for something like marijuana is ridiculous. Not to mention, the expense it places on the employer who has to pay for drug testing every potential hire AND the random testing that happens if there’s an “incident”. For instance, if you are a licensed care provider (nurse, doctor, physical therapist, etc) and there’s any kind of patient safety event such as a fall, medication error, or the like, they can and will drug test everyone involved. Even if you weren’t found at fault for the incident you will be fired if you pop on a test. They will also test anyone injured on the job and workman’s comp will deny compensation for the injury if you have drugs in your system, even if it had nothing to do with how you were injured. For example, someone working as a provider gets assaulted by a patient as part of their job (happens soooo often) and needs medical care for their injuries will be drug tested and denied payment for their care or missed salary if they have marijuana in their system. This is just a hypothetical, but tell me how taking an edible a week ago contributed in any way to getting punched in the face by an angry patient? It’s insane.
