MARIJUANA?

Don't know then. Marijuana for depression? Wow. Not directed at you, but the doc that wrote the script. That's special. You're depressed: take a depressant.

Anyway, I wish you luck with the job hunt. Especially in today's market, it might be tough.

 

The test is positive, the driver will have to see an Substance Abuse Professional, the driver will have to have a negative return-to-duty test, and have a minimum of six follow-up tests in 12 months.

Carriers are required to ask drivers if they have ever had a positive or refused pre-employment drug test per 49 CFR Part 40.25(j).

Drivers that falsify the form are subject to prosecution.

Drivers that drive without a SAP referal, return-to-duty test, and follow the follow-up tests requirement are subject to prosecution.

Regardless of what DAC indicates the carrier that has the positive drug test is subject to review from the FMCSA and positive drivers are checked against the Driver Information Resource database to determine if they drove after a positive drug test.

Be safe.

And I couldn't stop laughing long enough to get depressed.

My wife, who still smokes occasionally. Will do a top to bottom on the house, while depressed from it's effects, imagine that.

State law or not marijuana is a prohibited narcotic and as such prevents drivers from using it:

Narcotics are listed in Part (a)(1); therefore, a driver can never be prescribed narcotics and operate a CMV:

Be safe.
