The unknown drug

95sux · Mar 6, 2014

Well hello, Question for anyone who may have been there?? My doctor prescribed something that at the time I had know idea what it really was but found out real fast that "Marinol" is basically Pot just in pill form and at your local pharmacy.. Call me stupid but I had now idea I would get drug tested and fired for taking it. Now I need to find out about SAP and how to clean up this mess, going broke fast. Anyone??

Thanks, 95sux

I had been drinking Amodium by the bottle and the doctor said this would be better and would have no affect on my career

Massachusetts passed the law in 2012 the use of medical marijuana through the set up of dispensaries. It doesn't mention pharmacies? You didn't know you were at such a place? Every prescription you are given paperwork describing the drug, interactions, side effects, etc. You didn't read it? The doctor didn't discuss it with you?

As a truck driver the regulations are part of every minute of your life and job.

Regardless of state laws the FMCSA still says no to medical marijuana.

[h=3]How do I find a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) who is qualified to act in the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol testing program?[/h]As an employer, you must provide employees with a list of SAPs qualified under §40.281. The regulation [§40.287] requires the employer to provide the employee with a list of qualified SAPs. Your failure to provide such a list could result in sanctions issued by the DOT Modal Administration with jurisdiction over you.
As an employee, ask your employer for a list of SAPs in your area (even if the employer fired you or did not hire you). A SAP qualified to act in the DOT drug and alcohol testing program must meet the SAP qualification requirements in §40.281.
If your employer did not provide you with a list of qualified SAPs, below is a list of resources to help you find one:

Search the internet using search terms such as DOT qualified SAP or DOT and SAP

Search your State web site. The following are examples of two States that have a SAP registry:

Maine http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/samhs/osa/help/saplist.htm

South Carolina http://www.daodas.state.sc.us/ (look for the SAP Registry)

Please know that neither the DOT nor any of its Agencies has a list of SAPs or any other service agents.
