The really fucked up thing about drug testing, for probation or otherwise, is that weed is one of the few substances that actually stays in your system for any length of time. I have known people that got caught with a little weed, then they are ordered to pay a fine and have say 6 months of probation, getting piss tested once or twice a month. Since they can't smoke weed anymore, they turn to other drugs, the ones that only stay in your system for a few days, such as coke, meth, assorted pills, etc. I like to party as much as the next guy, but I know if I'm going in for a job its time to quit for a little while, and if I ever get caught (which I haven't, knock on wood!), then I would certainly stop smoking until my probation was over.
Its the same thing with a lot of jobs. There are a lot of jobs dealing with construction, electrical work, any manual labor really that require a piss test, so the guys that do it just drink beer all fucking day and do coke and meth on the job, and I certainly don't want to be in a structure built under those conditions lol. I've experimented with the hard stuff when I was younger, and I've worked like that before, so I know how it can really fuck things up. Really, the whole thing has just become out of hand. People can't handle alcohol in the states like they can in Europe, in most cases anyway. I think everyone has the right to do whatever they want to take the edge off of life, and I certainly think, well fuck I know, that drinking has a more adverse effect on our bodies. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't stop me from getting shitfaced most nights of the week while enjoying a little smokey smoke, but I just don't see why drinking is so much more acceptable, especially since I do both.
