Does Adecco drug test in house?

[Chamba]

drug testing is so very wrong in every way you look at it.....why do you Americans stand for this shit? next thing the authorities, if they get their way, will be drug testing your children every month...then how long will before there's compulsary drug testing for every person and any who fail will get jailed? not too long by the way things are going!

I'm not American, but unless you people in the US do something now then this insidious creeping invasion into your private lives and personal freedom by big brother will spread throughout the world.

ask any older men who fought in World War Two if they risked their lives so their Government could resort to ridiculous interferance into personal lives while they continoue to waste billions and most would say of course not...they fought and died so things like this wouldn't be allowed to happen.

the stupid part about this pre-employment drug testing is that a once per week recreational cannabis smoker who is competent and so right for the job fails to get the it while some whacko or space case on Oxcontin, Ritilin, Prosac or other commonly prescribed brain twister or zonker gets the nod...lol..do they test for mental instability, insanity, alcoholism or for other nasty traits?...nah... but smoke a joint once per week and you are unemployable and are marked for life!

my advice is tell them in writing

"Dear Blah

Subject : Pre-employment drug testing.

I am an experienced blah blah and also I am responsible, hard working, eager and willing to work for XXX company to the best of my ability.

Please see attached copies of my resume.

I have never been charged or convicted of any crime and hereby give my permission for your company to conduct a nationwide check for any criminal records.

I am not taking any prescribed drugs and while I'm not an illegal drug taker, I refuse to take any drug test for constitutional, legal, moral and personal grounds but welcome any physical, competence or intelligent tests you care to offer and also welcome any performance evaluations at any time during my employment with your company" etc etc

send this letter or one like it addressed to several people in the company, your immediate future boss, his boss and the state or national manager, not just the human resources clerk you are dealing with.....make sure it's typed up without typos and sent with your full name, position, address and phone numbers etc....also make sure you address each letter to that person's full name and position and the letter is sent registered

(* imo cannabis is not a drug, anymore than wine or tobacco is...but in my opinion meth, Oxcontin, crack, Prosac, Ritilin, heroin and other hard and addictive drugs obviously are)

if those brain washed, mechanical corporate monkeys refuse you then in my opinion you are better off and should work for a company that doesn't resort to wasteful, far right wing, invasive and unconstitional Nazi tactics.....or better still, work for yourself.

you know, if enough people who qualified for the job refused to take drug (THC) tests then their whole corrupt house of marked cards would come tumbling down and pre-employment drug testing would become but a bad memory of how wrong things were before they got right again...

I agree with you chamba. I say on the news a couple weeks ago that some midwestern city in the boondocks wanted to have random drug tests at the junior and regular high school. Such bullshit.

Most companies don't give a shit if you smoke a little pot after work. Its the insurance companies who mind, if you get injured and piss dirty then they will not cover you! Then the company may face a court case should you decide you can't afford your own medical bills. Therefore they are just covering there ass, sucks for smokers but as long as insurance companies can do this there will be no end. Even if you pass the initial test, they can always test you again randomly or after an injury and those are the hard ones to pass.

Yeah and people who drive a company vehicle are gonna get an instant drug test if they get in an accident. Gotta be careful or always carry around that whizzinator.

how can having a joint 3 days ago affect your driving ability?...it can't of course ..it's bullshit..but yet in Canada and Australia they are randomly stoppng drivers and conducting THC saliva tests! thank goodness the technology is still primitive and has enough false positives and so probably won't stand up to a serious challenge

do a search online and you'll find several government sponsored experiments from around the world, including a large 70's study done in the Netherlands that proves cannabis smokers are as safe a driver as those who don't smoke......it's those who drink, on prescribed drugs, the angry, distracted, poor sighted or inattentive who are the dangerous ones!....the test included reaction times to potential accidents, tendancy to speeding, control etc and the giggling smokers passed with flying colours

the US goverment and insurance companies know this and that is why any cannabis studies are virtually banned there (unless the tests are so slanted towards a negative result) and have been since the 70's (doesn't that sound alot like Soviet Russia or pre-WW2 Germany..or even current day China?..and not the Land of the Free)

a guy who smoked on the weekend, the night before or even if he has just had a joint is a better driver than some hungover asshole or one that had 3 quick drinks at lunchtime, an impatient speeder or a zonk-head blurred on Oxycontin or Valium....it's been proven and ignored cos it doesn't suit their agenda.

THC testing as we know it is just in it's infancy....I believe that soon the controllers will step up drug testing and make it more widespread....as they know it's the only way they will ever be able to eliminate recreational cannabis use from society (and then we can all be zonked on legally prescribed drugs....and going by the current widespread use a prescribed drugs, it won't be long before big Pharma blurs the line between treatment and contentment by offering "new wonder" drugs (simply a varied mix of the following : opiates, meth, downers and THC) advertised not as cures, but life enhancers .....when this happens, cannabis will be even more forcibly policed with heavier penalties...welcome to the future!

.....or maybe this so very wrong and corrupt war on cannabis will cease overnight, just like the Berlin? wall?
