Thanks god pre-employment drug testing is illegal in Canada.
Drug tests are an invasion of privacy and show no regard for civil liberties. They are only necessary in 1/10th of the cases they are used in.

i wish it was like that here in the u.s.
its completely ridiculous to drug test employees. what i do in my free time does not affect who i am in the work place or at school..

aschindler22 brought up a good point in a previous comment.
Does anyone know of a test that determines actual "intoxication" from THC, cocaine, or other drugs? Unfortunately, even though this may be a reasonable and ethical thing to consider, it's still a totally moot point as long as pot and other drugs are illegal.
As an MA who administers various drug screens for employers, I've long thought that this system is messed up. Also, I've never seen a test for hallucinogens. Shrooms, anyone?

Pre-employment drug testing is illegal in Canada? Damn, now that's a law I can respect. My own country is behind... (sigh)

That's why I you don't do drugs before a job interview because they will always find a way. It helps to to know about half-lives of drugs and your own metabolism rate.

i can understand ur boss not wanting u to be high at the job but u could smoke like 20 days ago and still fail the fucken drug test its bs

How do you prevent the sample from being contaminated? Maybe you just paid for a cup of coffee earlier in the morning with a ten dollar bill and the change you got was a dollar bill someone other than yourself was snorting cocaine with it got on your hands now your a drug addict !!! You cock suckers think your so smart remember people wakeup drug testing its just another form of tyranny nothing less.

@idsdrugtesting have you herd about how many dollar bills have cocaine on them ?

@sweetnector08 you are what you eat

its a trick. Instead of using the urine as sample, they are using the sweat from his hands that he left on the container.
-
yes it did, theyr screening his sweat off touching the cup. thats why it says dnt sweat it at the end!
Can they really find out if you have done drugs by testing your skin cells.

Yes, though it works by testing sweat, rather than skin cells. As people sweat, they release harmful toxins from their bodies, which includes any drugs that may be in their systems. So, drug users leave an invisible trail of drug residue on surfaces they touch like phones, computers, etc. Kind of CSI-like, huh?!

As for using saliva for DOT tests, they would be stupid. Saliva testing goes back 12-24 hours. I know people who smoked the night before and passed the next morning. This would totally be an inaccurate test and DOT never will go to this test.
As far as hair, DOT tried to go to this, but there are studies that proove hair testing is flawed because people who have been around smoke but have never smoked can test positive for pot. Hair absorbs the toxins.

True, there are issues with saliva, hair, and even sweat testing. But is urine that much better? It's subject to false positives, false negatives, substitution, and adulteration.
Bottom line is there's no PERFECT drug test. They all have their plusses and minuses. Each employer, school, parent needs to determine which one (or combination) is the best fit for their situation.
