    Yeah - they're really firm on their "no sex, drugs, fun or otherwise" test.

    Its great to know you can jump through all these hoops to get a job that many folks look down their nose at.

    ....incredible the amount of hoops and regs you have to satisfy for a average paying job (or maybe its not that average in today's economy?)

    A lot of pot smokers there huh since they legalize the drug?I hear what you're saying.Try and stay away from the ones smoking it.Wish they never would have legalized it,its not fair to the ones that wanna work and fail because of second hand smoke.

    Alot of Pot Smokers in CO? ? ? (this is a trick question Right?)

    Ah....yeah. Where you been driving lately?
    The State of CO, has paid all their debt from the taxes they've made on Legal Pot. The rumor is, they will not need Federal Funding (although i don't believe it) anymore. They are looking at making "1 Billion in Tax Revenue" this fiscal Year!

    This means that 60 outlets Alone will sell 4 Billion in Marijuana.     What do you think will happen when they add more Stores?
    Me thinks...there is A LOT of Pot Smoke in the Air in CO. !

    I'm not there yet...just a little concerned about 2nd hand smokers. A lot of BS to protect my job.
    BTW, the DOT randomly test for other departments too. I'm CERTAIN, this will become an ISSUE that will end up in courts.

    NEWS FLASH: "Pilot for Spirit Airlines looses his license to fly over 2nd hand MaryJane Positive Test!" The lawyers are going to have a field day with this...(SIGH).

    Correction... a FEW companies.

    Hair follicle testing is NOT recognized by the DOT. Only urine and blood tests are recognized.
