Can i still get a job if i smoke marijuana?

I’m 15 and i want a job at the giant down the street from where i live. I’m old enough and everything. The only problem is they have to give you a drug test before they hire. Every job i apply for, will they give me a drug test? What happens if i fail the drug test?

They’re screening for hardcore uses of heroin, cocaine, meth, those things. No one really gives a hoot if you recreationally use weed. But just to be safe, don’t do it within a week of taking the test.

why the hell do you have to take a drug test?

because they don’t want addicts working with them? maybe it requires heavy lifting and if you’re on drugs it could be a problem

Yes. Do not smoke while job-hunting. Marijuana takes typically 30 days to clear from the system so time your sesh’s wisely.

Some places have random drug testing too…

ooooo man someone’s hatin’ on the recreational pot smoker. And you have nothing better to do? Possession of weed isn’t a huge offense, most of the time its a mistemeiner but can easily be dropped to a summary. I think the cops would laugh at you if you called and told them SOMEone SOMEwhere was smoking weed. Don’tcha think they have more important things to do, like take down meth houses? And his parents may or may not care…meh, my dad does it with my brother all the time.

thats like saying if someone steals something worth less than $1 its not worth stopping but when you add up the total of everyone doing it then it becomes alot and i dont like drug dealers they need a proper job :p

okay, what’s really ticking me off is your incorrect use of “you’re.” It’s happened in two of your posts so far. “you’re” is a contraction for “you are.” …’then i guess i can report YOU ARE parents for child abuse’ NO! its YOUR! no contraction! YOUR is the possessive second-person pronoun, while YOU’RE is a contraction of you and are! learn english!

And again, call the cops. Listen to them laugh.

I wasn’t talking to you. The cops wouldn’t laugh when she clearly said her father smokes WITH her. You think that is OK?

So you can’t tell me why smoking weed is bad? …did you know that cigarettes are worse for you? About the worse thing that can happen is you get caught, which isn’t even that bad an offense, and it goes on your record. Weed stimulates brain cell growth and activity. The ‘active ingeridant’ in weed, THC, is used in chemo-therapy treatments where it halts metasiticization of the tumor and prevents cancer-cell mitosis.

No, actually, weed is not a gateway drug. No one has ever died of ODing on weed. And you can’t be an ‘addict’ of weed, its not physically addictive. It doesn’t bring on the need to get into harder drugs, because other drugs mess you up. The only bad thing about weed is the low, nothing else.

Can you really come at me, someone totally anonymous, for smoking weed? You’re a horrible old lady, running some website, stalking my posts to try an find me and call the police on me for smoking weed. Does my health really matter THAT much to you that you need to take time out of your busy schedule, moderating this site, to try and help me? You have no need getting involved in my business, obvously smoking is MY own problem and has nothing to do with you. Do you think that you’re scaring me? I’m so terrified of a fat old lady who sits on her *** all day trying to take down all the pot smokers that have problems finding jobs at the local Giant grocery stores. So you just let me know when the cops are coming for me, alright? Alright.
