FAULTY DRUG TESTING

Mandatory and random drug testing in the workplace will still get you 
fired for trace amounts of cannabis. Unlike alcohol, where the the 
drug's effects are processed by the liver, THC hangs in there after 
the effects are gone. However, the testing cannot tell whether it is 
residual or freshly consumed.

For example: I personally do not want to be working alongside an 
electrician working on live circuits, with him being stoned. Make 
sense? There is no way to tell in a test whether he is stoned or that 
the last time he smoked was days ago.
