ive often worrried about if i went for a job with drugs tests ect

but the reality is drink is FAR worse than most drugs,,,,,, but taking drugs shows people who dont respect rules is the idea i belive

anyone ever see " rise of a foot soldier" , has the BEST example of pills and the REAL effects of it as a recreational drug

id rather enjoy life than have a job paying me good money but stopping my freedom

btw i would HAVE to pass on that sort of worry, as someone else stated before,,,,, what happens if you get another test later on,,,,,,,, getting sacked for failing a random drugs test aint gonna look good on the cv

when i get drunk i make some bad desisions,,,,,, even my missus who USED to be against drugs prefers me on them compared to drinking

where would i be better of going now ???

although i always say im gonna give up going out,,,,,,,,,, i never seem to

actually i used to know a person who wasa drug dealer, he done LOADS of gear whwn he started out then he found it was causing him issues, he gave it all up and carried on just selling and made a good few quid out of it, hes retired from it now and still dont even smoke a joint

infact he gave up drinking 2 months ago cause he moved out of london,,,,, i dont see him as much as i did before christmas

I start tomorrow........downed one of them carbo drinks (Cost £30 form the link someone put up earlier in the thread) 1hr before I went in and all was well

The piss test was only for liver and kidney disease and NOT drugs...so I was lucky tbh...although I reckon they do test for drugs from stories I've heard from my cousin who works there.
The saliva test can detect weed for upto 1week but the drink works with the saliva too so I might just get a spare and keep it in my draw just incase.

Cheers for all the advice guys and i'll probably knock it on the head if its going to cause me greif always wondering weither my jobs save over a spliff or two.

One of the lads i used to go drinking with had a similar problem - he ended up getting a bag of clean piss and taping it under his armpit to keep it warm and hidden - then running a thin tube down to his boxers with a cap on the end...

Might just be easier to buy that strap on cock

the bag of piss under the arm won't work, it will be the wrong temperature, if the testing is serious like it is in the armed forces, you have about 1° of variation either side or it will flag up a suspicious sample, and they will test you again there and then, then again in 6 hours time. Really, there is no way to avoid it unless you just stay off the drugs.

mate you aint a cock for doing something you enjoy,,,, as ive said before my old man and the rest of my family belive its dangerous to talk when holding a phone and speeding kills

some people just aint got a mind to make up, they hear things and thenjudge how there told to be judged

my missus was against drugs for years, thought they would kill me instantly,,,,, then when she found out she actually noticed the difference,,,,,, and as ive said she PREFERS it as im less of a cock and not wasted and get into issues with people that i could easy avoid

on drugs im chilled and laied back, in love with the world

No one's actually said congratulations! So - Congratulations!!!

I wouldn't bother with that 'funky drink' there's no way that works. Just a con!

I'm going to try and delay the date by a week or so but has anyone got any advice on how to flush out or pass the test they do? My cousin works there and said they pissed him and swabbed his mouth

Help..don't wanna loose this opportunity due to a cheeky bifta.

forget all this shit wih ball bags and strap on etc

just be truthfull with the tester and tell them that you went to a party the weekend before the test and there were peole there smoking joints which is why some small trace of it may show up in your system

or you can hope they don't find it

if theywant to be real cunts they'll cut bits of your hair as it can stay there for upto a month

its not railway or anywhere/anything involving machinery or anything dangerous tbh.

Just had my induction today and it states you are only tested if they have reasonable cause in future...so accidents...turning up pissed etc... there's no randon testing at all...guy reckons it costs too much to test randomly over 5000 employees.

Thanks for the congratualtions DanW

I'm not an idiot; far from it in fact as I've done well so far thanks...

Just because I choose to smoke a little weed casuing no harm to nobody I somehow become stupid and not using my loaf......

You take drugs if you drink alcahol...albeit leagl...or more importantly taxable

Just grits me people getting riteous and calling me stupid LOL
