Is it really usual in US to drug test employees? I find that a bit on the limit. I've been working in a high security prison in Norway, and even there it is illegal by law to do tests like that on people working there. They are allowed to check you up with a dog, which will smell it if you have been smoking marijuana the last few days.

Of course, since I now live in a country that is a lot more liberal than Norway (which is more in the line of US I think when it comes to opinions about drugs), it might be that my opinions might not count that much. But strictly speaking, requiring people to do drugtest might make companies loose very good emplyoees. There are many very good and hard working people that smoke marijuana once in a while, and that doesn't make them less good at work (if you are a surgeon, or repairing airplanes, its different of course).

But I know opinions differs in this, I just think that the drug hysteria i smore unhealthy in th elong run than it is healthy.

But over to waht I wanted to tell a bit about, drug testing. Since I have been working in a prison I know a bit about. I don't know if you follow the same routines as in Norway, so I will explain how we do it: in Norway there is a "cut-off" point for THC meassured in urine samples. Lets say that THC is meassured inn levels from 1 to 10, and that the cut-off point is 3. That means that even if it meassurable cannabis in the system, it does not count unless it passes level 3.

It's many reasons for this. Cannabis binds with fat, and not with water, and that means that it stays long in the body. For people who are heavy smokers, you can find THC in their urine samples for more than 3 months after they last has a joint. But for someone who hardly ever smokes, and just had a puff or two in the weekend, it wont go over the cut-off point on monday morning (might not even sho wup on the sample at all).

THC is a tricky thing though. If you hardly ever smokes it, it will most likely not show on a urine sample unless you suddenly smoke a lot and have a test not long after. If you are a heavy smoker though, you can store it in your fat cells for ages. Sometimes you can have had negative samples for a while, and then you do some hard work out, and test positive again, without having taken it at all! Or, you test negative, and then have a tiny little puff, that makes you test positive for a week afterwards.

But no, you need a bit heavier dose than what you can get with the mans volcano, espescially considering he was smoking just befor ethe sex (?)... it takes a bit to reach all the way down there, hehe!
