Many companies drug test the young kids before hiring them, don't care

who just filed a claim smokes pot, legally, or not...


That is true. Insurance is higher for a company that doesn't have a
drug testing program.


I know for a fact.. I have a friend in charge of one of the biggest
MotorCycle retail parts chains in the Country, and that's what he told
me... The test and don't care if you "don't smoke now" a hair test goes
back at least 6 mos, and if you fail, even a little, no hire for you. Of
course the other half of that equation is your credit report.. which he
indicated carried more weight, however "more weight" doesn't mean much
when the drug policy is zero tolerance... You can be a drunk though....
