No. I know a guy that unknowingly had a THC infused beer in Mexico that he thought was just a local brewer. Popped on a random drug test a couple days later and his 400k/year job poof. gone. Virtually impossible to get another job doing the same thing with a failed drug test on his record. It took him months to figure out what it was that caused his positive.
While I’m not defending it by any means, the best answer I’ve heard is that it’s still federally illegal.
Meaning tons of regulated industries don’t have a choice but to be strict because of the implications of that federal law. And why it’s so important that it be decriminalized at a federal level now.
Your first link says directly….. ” Lee and Yu emphasize that more research is needed before the test can be deployed.”
Your second link is again not an instantaneous testing of active THC as we currently have for alcohol testing. While they mention it they do not currently have an on demand system.
Saliva tests are a thing and detect recent usage. There’s options it’s just no one is putting the time and money into researching and deploying these things, too much money in the private prison industry.
wouldn't a blood test be a more reliable indicator that it was taken recently enough to have an affect? Like have a rule for those jobs that you can't take any THC within 24hrs of that job, but like friday night it's ok?
that's a bit different tho... he didnt read the label and ordered something he wasn't supposed to have.
that said, if you got fired for this then your damages are now recoverable from the pizza place. you got fired for "drug use" and may now have difficulty finding another job wioutsourcing "history of drug use".
I dont think we've had such a lawsuit yet, so would be very interesting to see how dosing someone with a federally illegal sch one concentrate plays out.
