I wonder if you talked to your employer about it if you could get permission to test positive for it without it costing you your job?
We have made progress in getting it legalized nationally. We just need a few states to get with it. South Dakotans approved it, but the governor wouldn't approve it. They do have legalized medical, just not recreational. I don't know what is going on in Canada.
No, my profession is federally regulated and there's no way around it. THC is not permitted, period. We are tested and tested often.
I understand the reason some professions are regulated. It is for everyone's safety.
We were told that even medical CBD will cause us to piss hot. We were also told that the jury was still out on the topical CBD you put on your skin, so to be safe avoid that too.
Bugleweed is a no go for me. I'm a type 1 diabetic, and Bugleweed is known to mess with blood glucose levels. TBH I can get by with ibuprofen or naproxen, but they tear up my gut. That's really the only reason I'm looking for something better...
I'm a railroader, specifically a heavy equipment operator in the track maintenance department.
I've seen that before, and I've considered Kratom. There's a head shop about an hour from here that advertises it in their window but I've never bought any. I do know of a couple railroaders who use it as a painkiller and recreational stress reliever. I imagine the railroad will come up with a way to test for it eventually...
I agree, F them, but legal or illegal doesn't enter into it when it comes to the railroad. If they say you can be fired for it, you can be fired, and the court system has their backs.
Yes. The "real" drug test checks for dozens of chemicals at minute levels.
Even consuming poppy seeds can cause you to fail the test:
Sounds like the Soviet union.
There's federal rules in play too. There's been a lot of deaths of workers, passengers, and civilians because of intoxication...
